Krishna said

निर्मानमोहा जितसङ्गदोषा अध्यात्मनित्या विनिवृत्तकामाः।द्वन्द्वैर्विमुक्ताः सुखदुःखसंज्ञै र्गच्छन्त्यमूढाः पदमव्ययं तत् ॥15.5॥

nirmānamohā jitasaṅgadoṣā adhyātmanityā vinivṛttakāmāḥdvandvairvimuktāḥ sukhaduḥkhasaṃjñai rgacchantyamūḍhāḥ padamavyayaṃ tat

Meaning

Those free of pride and delusion, who have overcome the fault of attachment, who stay focused on the inner Self, whose cravings have ended, and who are released from the opposites called pleasure and pain, reach that eternal state with clear minds.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो अहंकार और भ्रम से मुक्त हैं, जिन्होंने आसक्ति के दोष को जीत लिया है, जो सदा आत्मा में टिके रहते हैं, जिनकी कामनाएँ शांत हो गई हैं और जो सुख-दुख के द्वंद्वों से छूट गए हैं, ऐसे ज्ञानी उस अविनाशी पद को पाते हैं।

Practise it today

When you feel the urge to prove you are right in a conversation today, stop, and simply listen to the other person instead.

Reflect tonight

When did your pride want to speak today? What happened when you chose to listen?
