Bhagavad Gita 4.18

He who sees inaction in action and action in inaction is wise among people.

Theme: Decision Making

"He who sees inaction in action and action in inaction is wise among people. He is a yogi, and has accomplished all his work."

Modern explanation

In the middle of the day, return to this: Sometimes the right move is to stop. Sometimes the right move is to begin. Wisdom is telling them apart.

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?
