Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 15, Verse 8

Krishna said
शरीरं यदवाप्नोति यच्चाप्युत्क्रामतीश्वरः।गृहीत्वैतानि संयाति वायुर्गन्धानिवाशयात् ॥15.8॥

śarīraṃ yadavāpnoti yaccāpyutkrāmatīśvaraḥgṛhītvaitāni saṃyāti vāyurgandhānivāśayāt

Meaning

When the soul, the master of the body, takes up a body and when it leaves one, it carries the senses and mind along, just as the wind carries scents away from flowers.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जब आत्मा, जो शरीर का स्वामी है, कोई शरीर पाती है और जब उसे छोड़ती है, तो इंद्रियों और मन को साथ ले जाती है, जैसे हवा फूलों से सुगंध ले जाती है।

Practise it today

Pick one thought pattern you want to stop carrying, like a grudge. Each time it comes up today, set it down gently.

Reflect tonight

What thought did you try to stop carrying? How many times did you set it down?
