Belong explores our heart's deep desire to connect with something greater than ourselves, a longing fulfilled by the Bhagavad-gita’s transformative message of spiritual love. Presented in concise, 300-word reflections, Belong illuminates various themes essential for personal growth:

• Optimism: Our willingness matters more than our willpower
• Resentment: Progress begins when we start from where we are, not where we think we should be
• Happiness: True pleasure isn't just temporary relief from self-imposed suffering
• Association: Our desires are shaped not just by us, but by our environment
• Temptation: We don't need to fight our lower desires; we can simply let them fade
• Discipline: Rules empower us to be our true selves
• Devotion: Krishna is the master before whom we can stand genuinely strong

These 121 reflections inspire both the mind and heart to draw closer to the one in whom we realize our fullest potential and find our deepest sense of belonging.
