Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 33
सदृशं चेष्टते स्वस्याः प्रकृतेर्ज्ञानवानपि।प्रकृतिं यान्ति भूतानि निग्रहः किं करिष्यति ॥3.33॥sadṛśaṃ ceṣṭate svasyāḥ prakṛterjñānavānapiprakṛtiṃ yānti bhūtāni nigrahaḥ kiṃ kariṣyati
Meaning
Even a wise person acts according to their own nature. All beings follow their nature; what can mere forceful suppression achieve?
हिंदी में अर्थ
ज्ञानी व्यक्ति भी अपने स्वभाव के अनुसार ही काम करता है। सभी प्राणी अपनी प्रकृति के अनुसार चलते हैं; ज़बरदस्ती दबाने से क्या होगा?
Practise it today
Instead of fighting a bad habit by willpower alone today, change one thing around it: move the phone away, keep fruit within reach, set an alarm.
Reflect tonight
What did you change around your habit today? Did it work better than forcing yourself?
