Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 22

Krishna said
यदृच्छालाभसन्तुष्टो द्वन्द्वातीतो विमत्सरः।समः सिद्धावसिद्धौ च कृत्वापि न निबध्यते ॥4.22॥

yadṛcchālābhasantuṣṭo dvandvātīto vimatsaraḥsamaḥ siddhāvasiddhau ca kṛtvāpi na nibadhyate

Meaning

Content with whatever comes on its own, beyond the pairs of opposites, free from envy, and balanced in success and failure, such a person is not bound even while acting.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो अपने आप मिल जाने वाली चीज़ से संतुष्ट रहता है, सुख-दुख जैसे द्वंद्वों से ऊपर है, ईर्ष्या नहीं करता और सफलता-असफलता में एक जैसा रहता है, वह कर्म करते हुए भी नहीं बँधता।

Practise it today

Reflect tonight

Did envy show up today? What helped you meet it with contentment instead?
