"Ever content, steady in meditation, self-controlled, of firm conviction, with mind and intellect dedicated to me — such a devotee is dear to me."
Modern explanation
In the middle of the day, return to this: Contentment in yourself makes you safe to love. Restlessness leaks into every relationship.
Practical application
Send one honest, warm message to someone you've been meaning to thank.
Reflection question
Where am I treating a person as an obstacle rather than as a soul?
