Bhagavad Gita 2.50

Endowed with wisdom of evenness of mind, one casts off in this life both good and evil deeds.

Theme: Decision Making

"Endowed with wisdom of evenness of mind, one casts off in this life both good and evil deeds. Therefore, devote yourself to yoga; yoga is skill in action."

Modern explanation

In the middle of the day, return to this: Skill in action is choosing well from a settled mind, not a frantic one.

Practical application

Reduce the choice to its core trade-off in one sentence. Decisions hide inside word-clutter.

Reflection question

Which option would my wisest, calmest self choose?
