Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 34
इन्द्रियस्येन्द्रियस्यार्थे रागद्वेषौ व्यवस्थितौ।तयोर्न वशमागच्छेत्तौ ह्यस्य परिपन्थिनौ ॥3.34॥indriyasyendriyasyārthe rāgadveṣau vyavasthitautayorna vaśamāgacchettau hyasya paripanthinau
Meaning
Attraction and aversion are naturally present in every sense towards its objects. Do not fall under their control, for they are obstacles on your path.
हिंदी में अर्थ
हर इंद्रिय के अपने विषयों के प्रति राग (लगाव) और द्वेष (नफ़रत) स्वाभाविक रूप से रहते हैं। इनके वश में मत आओ, क्योंकि ये तुम्हारे रास्ते के लुटेरे हैं।

Reflect tonight
How many times did you pause today before reacting to a like or dislike? What changed in those ten seconds?
