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

As the day quiets, hold this: Skill in action is choosing well from a settled mind, not a frantic one.

Practical application

Sleep on it. The first thought tomorrow morning will tell you more than another hour of analysis tonight.

Reflection question

If I had to choose right now, with no more information, which would I pick — and why?
