भयाद्रणादुपरतं मंस्यन्ते त्वां महारथाः।येषां च त्वं बहुमतो भूत्वा यास्यसि लाघवम् ॥2.35॥

Krishna continues: the great chariot-warriors will think you fled the battle out of fear, and those who once held you in high regard will think little of you.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण आगे कहते हैं: बड़े-बड़े महारथी समझेंगे कि तुम डर के मारे युद्ध से हट गए, और जो तुम्हें बहुत मानते थे, वे तुम्हें छोटा समझने लगेंगे।

Practise it today

Before backing out of something today, ask: am I stepping back for a good reason, or because I am scared? Act on the honest answer.

Reflect tonight

Did you step back from anything today out of fear? What would courage have looked like?
