Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 16, Verse 10

Krishna said
काममाश्रित्य दुष्पूरं दम्भमानमदान्विताः।मोहाद्गृहीत्वासद्ग्राहान्प्रवर्तन्तेऽशुचिव्रताः ॥16.10॥

kāmamāśritya duṣpūraṃ dambhamānamadānvitāḥmohādgṛhītvāsadgrāhānpravartante'śucivratāḥ

Meaning

Clinging to desires that can never be satisfied, full of hypocrisy, pride and arrogance, they grab hold of false ideas out of confusion and go about their work with impure intentions.

हिंदी में अर्थ

कभी न भरने वाली इच्छाओं का सहारा लेकर, दिखावे, घमंड और अहंकार में डूबे हुए, ये लोग भ्रम के कारण गलत धारणाएँ पकड़ लेते हैं और अशुद्ध इरादों से काम करते हैं।

Practise it today

When you feel 'I need this right now' about something today, wait one hour before acting and see whether the urge still holds.

Reflect tonight

Which want did you pause on today? Did it shrink, stay the same, or grow?
