Bhagavad Gita 6.7

For one who has conquered the self, the Self is a friend.

Theme: Anxiety

"For one who has conquered the self, the Self is a friend. In cold and heat, joy and sorrow, honor and dishonor, it remains the same."

Modern explanation

In the middle of the day, return to this: When the inner ground is steady, outer weather loses its power to disturb you.

Practical application

Pause for sixty seconds. Feel your feet on the floor. Notice that this moment is, in fact, survivable.

Reflection question

If I removed the imagined future, what's actually happening right now?
