Why do the people we love the most fail to understand us? Is it our fault for loving too deeply? In this soul-touching article inspired by a heartfelt conversation between Sakhi and Krishna, discover the divine wisdom behind misunderstood emotions, broken expectations, and silent heartbreaks. Krishna’s answers won’t just soothe your wounds—they’ll teach you how to rise with love.
We give with the purest intentions, we love with all our hearts, and we hope—just hope—that those closest to us will see, hear, and feel us. However, they frequently don't. Being misinterpreted by the people we care about most causes a harsh, silent, and isolating anguish. What would Shree Krishna say in such a situation? We examine the truth, healing, and liberation that lie beyond human expectations via the enduring link between Sakhi and Madhav 
Not because they don't care, but rather because they are blind to your feelings, the people you love the most might sometimes be the ones who hurt you the most. "People only appreciate as much as their own hearts allow," Krishna explains to Sakhi, "so not everyone understands the depth of your love." Remember that it's okay to feel deeply, even if your love seems invisible. You are just spiritually superior.

Sakhi asks, “Is it my fault that I loved with all my heart?” Krishna answers with calm clarity: “No, Sakhi. Loving is never a mistake. But hoping everyone understands your love is.” This is the foundation of Bhagavad Gita’s karma yoga—do your karma (your love), but don’t attach yourself to the result. You gave your love freely; that was your dharma. Their ability to see it? That was their test.

Ironically, individuals who aren't prepared for your love will find it harder to see the more unconditional your love is. Through Radha's tale, Krishna teaches us that pure love is silent, unconditional, and expansive. Love is frequently exalted by society in exchange for words, gifts, and attention. However, heavenly love? It provides without requesting. And frequently, the world's obsession with loudness obscures this purity.

Pain starts with the assumption that "they'll understand." "You bind yourself when you expect," Krishna says to Sakhi. You liberate yourself when you love without expecting anything in return. The majority of people have an attachment style. Krishna exhorts us to love with devotion rather than coldness. Your love was your contribution. Don't bear the weight of how they got it. Where anguish once existed, serenity will start to blossom if you let go. 
Krishna embraces instead of explaining when hearts break. "I am still there when the world fails to see you," he says. When no one understands your quiet, I know your pain.” Not in words, but in sensations, Krishna is there in the silence of your pain. The world doesn't have to understand you. All you have to do is remain near Him. Your heart is known to the one who understands all hearts.

You don't lose when you let go of someone who couldn't comprehend your love. It indicates that you trusted the time of Krishna. Whatever is rightfully yours will find its way to you, according to the Gita. Anything that doesn't will go to create room. Letting go is not a sign of defeat but of resignation. "I trust You more than I trust my attachment," it is saying, Krishna. Furthermore, trust has a far greater calming effect than knowledge ever could.

The most impactful thing Madhav said to Sakhi was, "You just keep your heart with me." I'll never get very far. People will misinterpret you. Your reality may never be seen by anyone, even those closest to you. Krishna, however, never goes. Remember that nothing offered out of love is ever wasted in His eyes, even if it seems like your love is wasted. Give Him your heart. He will transform your silence into power and your tears into blessings.
We live our entire lives in the hope that someone will eventually appreciate how much we care for them. Perhaps, however, the purpose of love—to be pure, brave, and unconditional—was never to be comprehended, as Krishna taught Sakhi. And He feels it when the rest of the world doesn't. Even if they never appreciated your affection, it will always be there. It gets to Krishna. And you are never alone in Him; you are always sensed and seen.
