Bhagavad Gita 18.31

That intellect which understands incorrectly what is right and wrong, what ought to be done and not done — that intellect is rajasic.

Theme: Decision Making

"That intellect which understands incorrectly what is right and wrong, what ought to be done and not done — that intellect is rajasic."

Modern explanation

In the middle of the day, return to this: Urgency distorts judgment. Slow the moment before you commit.

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?
