Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 10, Verse 38

Krishna said

दण्डो दमयतामस्मि नीतिरस्मि जिगीषताम्।मौनं चैवास्मि गुह्यानां ज्ञानं ज्ञानवतामहम् ॥10.38॥

daṇḍo damayatāmasmi nītirasmi jigīṣatāmmaunaṃ caivāsmi guhyānāṃ jñānaṃ jñānavatāmaham

Meaning

For those who keep order I am the rod of discipline; for those who seek victory, wise policy. Among secrets I am silence, and in the wise, I am wisdom.

हिंदी में अर्थ

दमन करने वालों का दंड मैं हूँ, जीत चाहने वालों की नीति मैं हूँ। गोपनीय बातों में मैं मौन हूँ, और ज्ञानियों का ज्ञान मैं हूँ।

Practise it today

When the chance to gossip or reveal something private comes up today, choose silence and keep it to yourself.

Reflect tonight

Did you choose silence over gossip today? What did holding back teach you?
