Meaning

Arjuna asks: having slipped from both paths, without a firm footing and confused on the way to Brahman (the ultimate reality), does such a person perish like a scattered cloud?

हिंदी में अर्थ

अर्जुन पूछते हैं: हे महाबाहु, क्या ऐसा व्यक्ति, जो दोनों मार्गों से भटक गया है, जिसका कोई ठोस आधार नहीं और जो ब्रह्म (परम सत्य) के मार्ग में उलझ गया है, बिखरे हुए बादल की तरह नष्ट हो जाता है?

Practise it today

If you fear you have "fallen between two stools" in some area of life, write down one solid thing you still have, a skill, a person or a value, to stand on.

Reflect tonight

What solid ground did you find under you today? Does the fear of being lost feel smaller now?
