Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 14, Verse 23

Krishna said

उदासीनवदासीनो गुणैर्यो न विचाल्यते।गुणा वर्तन्त इत्येव योऽवतिष्ठति नेङ्गते ॥14.23॥

udāsīnavadāsīno guṇairyo na vicālyateguṇā vartanta ityeva yo'vatiṣṭhati neṅgate

Meaning

Such a person sits like a neutral witness, unshaken by the gunas. Knowing "it is only the gunas at work," they stay steady and do not waver.

हिंदी में अर्थ

ऐसा व्यक्ति एक तटस्थ साक्षी की तरह रहता है और गुणों से विचलित नहीं होता। वह समझता है कि "बस गुण ही काम कर रहे हैं" और स्थिर रहता है, डगमगाता नहीं।

Practise it today

During a heated discussion today, imagine watching it from the corner of the room. Speak only after you feel that small distance.

Reflect tonight

Did stepping back as a witness change what you said today?
