Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 1, Verse 10

Sanjaya said

अपर्याप्तं तदस्माकं बलं भीष्माभिरक्षितम्।पर्याप्तं त्विदमेतेषां बलं भीमाभिरक्षितम् ॥1.10॥

aparyāptaṃ tadasmākaṃ balaṃ bhīṣmābhirakṣitamparyāptaṃ tvidameteṣāṃ balaṃ bhīmābhirakṣitam

Meaning

Duryodhana compares the armies: “Our force, guarded by Bhishma, is aparyāpta; theirs, guarded by Bhima, is paryāpta.” These words can mean “boundless” and “limited”, or “inadequate” and “adequate”, so his words show either boasting or hidden worry.

हिंदी में अर्थ

दुर्योधन दोनों सेनाओं की तुलना करते हैं: भीष्म द्वारा रक्षित हमारी सेना “अपर्याप्त” है और भीम द्वारा रक्षित उनकी सेना “पर्याप्त”। इन शब्दों का अर्थ “असीम” और “सीमित” भी हो सकता है और “कम” और “काफ़ी” भी, इसलिए इसमें घमंड भी दिख सकता है और छिपी चिंता भी।

Practise it today

When you compare yourself with someone today, notice whether you swing between boasting and worry; then state the plain facts to yourself.

Reflect tonight

When you compared yourself with someone today, was it boasting, worry, or a clear look at the facts?
