Gita reflection Ch 18 verses 25 & 26

7th December 2024


When there is a lack of maturity in thinking, individuals often imitate those around them. This behavior is common among teenagers and young adults. 

However, even after reaching adulthood, if one engages in actions without considering one's own abilities to carry them out, the potential consequences, or the risk of losing resources and harming relationships, this is referred to as Tamasic action.

In contrast, what characterizes a Sattvic doer? For a Sattvic person, the thoughts directly translate into action. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the mindset of someone who embodies Sattvic qualities. 

Lord Krishna explains that a Sattvic doer is free from attachment and does not act from a place of egotism. He possesses fortitude and diligence, remaining unperturbed by both success and failure.
