Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 27

Krishna said

जातस्य हि ध्रुवो मृत्युर्ध्रुवं जन्म मृतस्य च।तस्मादपरिहार्येऽर्थे न त्वं शोचितुमर्हसि ॥2.27॥

jātasya hi dhruvo mṛtyurdhruvaṃ janma mṛtasya catasmādaparihārye'rthe na tvaṃ śocitumarhasi

Meaning

Krishna says: death is certain for whatever is born, and birth is certain for whatever dies. So you should not grieve over what cannot be avoided.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं: जो जन्मा है उसकी मृत्यु निश्चित है, और जो मरा है उसका जन्म निश्चित है। इसलिए जो टल नहीं सकता, उस पर शोक नहीं करना चाहिए।

Practise it today

Write down one thing you cannot change and one thing you can. Spend today's energy only on the second.

Reflect tonight

Did you spend today on what you can change, or on what you cannot?
