Bhagavad Gita 6.7

For one who has conquered the self, the Self is a friend.

Theme: Anxiety

"For one who has conquered the self, the Self is a friend. In cold and heat, joy and sorrow, honor and dishonor, it remains the same."

Modern explanation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: When the inner ground is steady, outer weather loses its power to disturb you.

Practical application

Sit for five minutes without your phone. Watch your breath. Don't try to change it.

Reflection question

Beneath all the noise, what does my deepest self already know?
