Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 8

Arjuna said

न हि प्रपश्यामि ममापनुद्या द्यच्छोकमुच्छोषणमिन्द्रियाणाम्।अवाप्य भूमावसपत्नमृद्धम् राज्यं सुराणामपि चाधिपत्यम् ॥2.8॥

na hi prapaśyāmi mamāpanudyā dyacchokamucchoṣaṇamindriyāṇāmavāpya bhūmāvasapatnamṛddham rājyaṃ surāṇāmapi cādhipatyam

Meaning

Arjuna says he sees nothing that could remove this grief that is drying up his senses, not even an unrivalled, rich kingdom on earth or rule over the gods themselves.

हिंदी में अर्थ

अर्जुन कहते हैं कि यह शोक मेरी इंद्रियों को सुखा रहा है, और इसे दूर करने वाला मुझे कुछ नहीं दिखता, चाहे धरती का बेजोड़ समृद्ध राज्य मिले या देवताओं पर भी अधिकार।

Practise it today

When you feel low today, notice the thought "if only I had X, I'd be fine." Write it down and ask whether X would truly reach the sadness.

Reflect tonight

What did you think would fix your mood today, and was it really the cure?
