Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8, Verse 26

Krishna said

शुक्लकृष्णे गती ह्येते जगतः शाश्वते मते।एकया यात्यनावृत्तिमन्ययाऽऽवर्तते पुनः ॥8.26॥

śuklakṛṣṇe gatī hyete jagataḥ śāśvate mateekayā yātyanāvṛttimanyayā''vartate punaḥ

Meaning

These two paths of the world, the bright and the dark, are considered eternal. By one, a person goes and does not return; by the other, a person comes back again.

हिंदी में अर्थ

संसार के ये दो मार्ग, शुक्ल (उजला) और कृष्ण (अँधेरा), सनातन माने गए हैं। एक से जाने वाला लौटता नहीं, और दूसरे से जाने वाला फिर लौट आता है।

Practise it today

At two moments today, ask yourself: is this choice taking me toward light and growth, or toward the same old loop? Choose the brighter option once.

Reflect tonight

When did you choose the brighter path today, and what did it ask of you?
