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

As the day quiets, hold this: Sometimes the right move is to stop. Sometimes the right move is to begin. Wisdom is telling them apart.

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?
