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

When the day pushes against you, remember: Skill in action is choosing well from a settled mind, not a frantic one.

Practical application

Flip a coin — not to decide, but to notice which result you secretly hoped for. That hope is data.

Reflection question

Which choice would I respect myself for, regardless of outcome?
