*(Note: Dr. Sharma wrote a deeply moving, long-form poem addressing the tragedy of suicide and depression, urging people to reach out for help).*
In this powerful piece, Dr. Sharma steps away from planetary predictions to address the very real, human crisis of depression (often caused by an afflicted Moon or Rahu).
He writes that depression makes a person feel like they are dying while still alive ("maut se pehle marne"). He acknowledges that life is full of immense hardships, but he pleads with the reader that giving up is never the answer.
He reminds them of the divine grace that taught them how to walk and speak, and states that leaving loved ones behind in the dark is not the will of God ("rab ki raza nahi hoti"). He urges anyone suffering to reach out their hand ("tu haath badhayega toh bach jayega"), reminding them that speaking their heart out is the only way to prevent the ultimate tragedy.
