Bhagavad Gita 16.1

Fearlessness, purity of heart, steadfastness in wisdom and yoga — these are the qualities of one born to divine endowment.

Theme: Fear

"Fearlessness, purity of heart, steadfastness in wisdom and yoga — these are the qualities of one born to divine endowment."

Modern explanation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: Fearlessness is not the absence of fear, but the refusal to be commanded by it.

Practical application

Sit with the fear instead of around it. Ask it what it is trying to protect. Listen.

Reflection question

What would my life look like if I stopped letting this fear vote?
