Bhagavad Gita 3.21

Whatever a great person does, others follow.

Theme: Relationships

"Whatever a great person does, others follow. Whatever standard they set, the world pursues."

Modern explanation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: You teach the people around you how to treat you and each other by what you do, not what you say.

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?
