Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 14, Verse 7

Krishna said

रजो रागात्मकं विद्धि तृष्णासङ्गसमुद्भवम्।तन्निबध्नाति कौन्तेय कर्मसङ्गेन देहिनम् ॥14.7॥

rajo rāgātmakaṃ viddhi tṛṣṇāsaṅgasamudbhavamtannibadhnāti kaunteya karmasaṅgena dehinam

Meaning

Know rajas as the nature of passion, springing from craving and attachment. It binds the embodied self through attachment to action, Krishna says.

हिंदी में अर्थ

रजस को राग (लगाव) का रूप समझो, जो तृष्णा और आसक्ति से पैदा होता है। यह आत्मा को कर्मों से लगाव के द्वारा बाँधता है।

Practise it today

Before adding one more task to your list today, ask, "Is this needed, or am I just unable to sit still?" Drop one that isn't needed.

Reflect tonight

Which task did you drop today, and did anything bad actually happen?
