Bhagavad Gita 2.14

Contacts with their objects, O son of Kunti, give rise to cold and heat, pleasure and pain.

Theme: Anxiety

"Contacts with their objects, O son of Kunti, give rise to cold and heat, pleasure and pain. They come and go and are impermanent. Endure them bravely."

Modern explanation

Begin today by remembering: Feelings are weather, not climate. The strongest storm still ends.

Practical application

Before opening any message or task, take three slow breaths and name one thing that is already steady in you.

Reflection question

What am I gripping that I could loosen for the next hour?
