Bhagavad Gita 18.31

That intellect which understands incorrectly what is right and wrong, what ought to be done and not done — that intellect is rajasic.

Theme: Decision Making

"That intellect which understands incorrectly what is right and wrong, what ought to be done and not done — that intellect is rajasic."

Modern explanation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: Urgency distorts judgment. Slow the moment before you commit.

Practical application

Take ten minutes of full silence. Often the answer was waiting for room to speak.

Reflection question
