Prema is the Sanskrit concept of divine love that transcends words; it teaches us that the deepest feelings often cannot be articulated, reframing regret about unsaid words into recognition of love already present.
Mirabai's poetry reveals that prema—divine, all-consuming love—exists beyond language itself. When we regret words left unsaid, we assume language is the only vehicle for connection. Yet prema suggests that love transmitted through presence, sacrifice, and devotion speaks louder than any phrase. This concept invites us to examine what we truly needed to communicate: was it information, or was it presence? Mirabai's devotional ecstasy shows that the deepest intimacy often happens in silence, in tears, in the body's surrender. For grief, this means recognizing that the relationship continued even when words failed. What unspoken love was already flowing between you and the person you've lost?
Peri can explain this concept, give practical examples, help you decide whether it applies to your situation, or recommend a journey if appropriate.
