Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 16, Verse 8

Krishna said

असत्यमप्रतिष्ठं ते जगदाहुरनीश्वरम्।अपरस्परसम्भूतं किमन्यत्कामहैतुकम् ॥16.8॥

asatyamapratiṣṭhaṃ te jagadāhuranīśvaramaparasparasambhūtaṃ kimanyatkāmahaitukam

Meaning

Krishna says such people claim the world has no truth, no firm foundation and no guiding Lord; that it came about without any ordered cause, and that desire alone is what drives it.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण बताते हैं कि ऐसे लोग कहते हैं कि यह संसार असत्य है, इसका कोई आधार नहीं और कोई ईश्वर इसे नहीं चलाता; यह बिना किसी क्रम के अपने आप बना है और केवल कामना ही इसका कारण है।

Practise it today

When did cynicism creep in today, and what helped you steady yourself?
