Bhagavad Gita 10.38 meaning
dando damayatam asmi neetir asmi jigeeshatam
maunam chaivasmi guhyanam jnanam jnanavatam aham
दण्डो दमयतामस्मि नीतिरस्मि जिगीषताम्।
मौनं चैवास्मि गुह्यानां ज्ञानं ज्ञानवतामहम्॥
I am the rod of justice among those who discipline, and wise strategy among those seeking to win. Among secrets I am silence, and among the wise I am wisdom.
What it means
Fair discipline, smart strategy and the strength to stay silent are signs of maturity. Winning the right way and knowing when not to speak are sacred skills.How it helps in real life
- At work: In a tense salary negotiation, plan your numbers in advance, and after making your ask, stay silent and let them respond.
- With friends: A friend told you a secret about her marriage. Keep it to yourself, even when the gossip gets juicy at the kitty party.
हिंदी में अर्थ
दंड देने वालों में मैं न्याय का दंड हूँ, जीत चाहने वालों में नीति हूँ। गोपनीय बातों में मैं मौन हूँ और ज्ञानियों का ज्ञान हूँ।
न्यायपूर्ण अनुशासन, समझदार नीति और चुप रहने की ताकत — ये परिपक्वता के लक्षण हैं। सही तरीके से जीतना और कब न बोलना, यह जानना पवित्र कला है।
Spoken by Krishna.
