Bhagavad Gita 4.18

He who sees inaction in action and action in inaction is wise among people.

Theme: Decision Making

"He who sees inaction in action and action in inaction is wise among people. He is a yogi, and has accomplished all his work."

Modern explanation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: Sometimes the right move is to stop. Sometimes the right move is to begin. Wisdom is telling them apart.

Practical application

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

Reflection question

What is the choice I keep avoiding making — and what would it free up if I made it?
