Gita reflection Ch 3 verses 18 & 19

 24th March 2024


  • Our happiness is entirely dependent on what happens in our lives, and when anticipated situations fail to meet our expectations, it can cause us grief and misery.
  • We don't become disappointed or miserable from what we are detached from. Here, detachment doesn't mean staying away from something, but rather the absence of dependence.
  • A wise person who has achieved total contentment within oneself chooses to perform all actions without feeling compelled or obligated. 
  • It's important to take a moment to ask yourself whether the actions you do throughout your day are done out of choice or if you feel compelled to do them. 
  • If you're doing something out of your own desire, try leaving it aside and see if it makes you restless. If it's your responsibility to take care of family commitments, do your best and leave the rest.
