Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 11

Krishna said

अशोच्यानन्वशोचस्त्वं प्रज्ञावादांश्च भाषसे।गतासूनगतासूंश्च नानुशोचन्ति पण्डिताः ॥2.11॥

aśocyānanvaśocastvaṃ prajñāvādāṃśca bhāṣasegatāsūnagatāsūṃśca nānuśocanti paṇḍitāḥ

Meaning

Krishna says: you grieve for those who need no grief, and yet you speak words that sound wise. The truly wise do not grieve for those who have died or for those who live.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं: तुम उनके लिए शोक कर रहे हो जिनके लिए शोक करना उचित नहीं, और बातें ज्ञानियों जैसी करते हो। सच्चे ज्ञानी न मरे हुओं के लिए शोक करते हैं, न जीवितों के लिए।

Practise it today
