Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, Verse 37

Krishna said
यथैधांसि समिद्धोऽग्निर्भस्मसात्कुरुतेऽर्जुन।ज्ञानाग्निः सर्वकर्माणि भस्मसात्कुरुते तथा ॥4.37॥

yathaidhāṃsi samiddho'gnirbhasmasātkurute'rjunajñānāgniḥ sarvakarmāṇi bhasmasātkurute tathā

Meaning

Just as a blazing fire turns firewood to ash, Arjuna, so the fire of knowledge turns all karma (the binding effects of action) to ash.

हिंदी में अर्थ

हे अर्जुन, जैसे जलती हुई आग लकड़ियों को राख कर देती है, वैसे ही ज्ञान की आग सारे कर्मों के बंधन को राख कर देती है।

Reflect tonight

Did seeing your worry clearly on paper make it smaller? What remained?
