Bhagavad Gita 12.14

Ever content, steady in meditation, self-controlled, of firm conviction, with mind and intellect dedicated to me — such a devotee is dear to me.

Theme: Relationships

"Ever content, steady in meditation, self-controlled, of firm conviction, with mind and intellect dedicated to me — such a devotee is dear to me."

Modern explanation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: Contentment in yourself makes you safe to love. Restlessness leaks into every relationship.

Practical application

Quietly forgive someone — not for their sake, for your own. You don't have to tell them.

Reflection question

Who am I when I'm not performing for anyone?
