Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 45

Krishna said
त्रैगुण्यविषया वेदा निस्त्रैगुण्यो भवार्जुन।निर्द्वन्द्वो नित्यसत्त्वस्थो निर्योगक्षेम आत्मवान् ॥2.45॥

traiguṇyaviṣayā vedā nistraiguṇyo bhavārjunanirdvandvo nityasattvastho niryogakṣema ātmavān

Meaning

Krishna says: the Vedas largely deal with the three gunas (qualities of nature). Arjuna, rise above these three qualities. Be free of pairs of opposites, stay rooted in what is true, free of the urge to acquire and hoard, and centred in the self.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं: वेद अधिकतर तीन गुणों यानी प्रकृति के स्वभाव से जुड़े विषयों की बात करते हैं। हे अर्जुन, तुम इन तीनों गुणों से ऊपर उठो। सुख-दुख जैसे द्वंद्वों से मुक्त रहो, सत्य में टिके रहो, जोड़ने-बचाने की चिंता छोड़ो और आत्मा में स्थित रहो।

Practise it today

Today, skip one purchase or addition you don't really need. Notice the small freedom of not acquiring for its own sake.

Reflect tonight

Did you feel lighter today by not adding something you didn't need?
