Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 15, Verse 3

Krishna said

न रूपमस्येह तथोपलभ्यते नान्तो न चादिर्न च संप्रतिष्ठा।अश्वत्थमेनं सुविरूढमूल मसङ्गशस्त्रेण दृढेन छित्त्वा ॥15.3॥

na rūpamasyeha tathopalabhyate nānto na cādirna ca saṃpratiṣṭhāaśvatthamenaṃ suvirūḍhamūla masaṅgaśastreṇa dṛḍhena chittvā

Meaning

Its true form cannot be seen here, nor its end, its beginning or what it stands on. This deeply rooted tree must be cut down with the strong axe of non-attachment.

हिंदी में अर्थ

इस संसार-रूपी पेड़ का असली रूप यहाँ दिखाई नहीं देता, न इसका अंत, न आरंभ, न इसका आधार। इस गहरी जड़ों वाले पेड़ को अनासक्ति की मज़बूत कुल्हाड़ी से काटना होता है।

Practise it today

Choose one thing you cling to, such as needing praise for your work. Today, do that work well and let it go without checking for a reaction.

Reflect tonight

Were you able to let one thing go without checking back? What did that feel like?
