Bhagavad Gita 12.18 meaning
samah shatrau cha mitre cha tatha manapamanayoh
sheetoshna-sukhaduhkheshu samah sangavivarjitah
समः शत्रौ च मित्रे च तथा मानापमानयोः।
शीतोष्णसुखदुःखेषु समः सङ्गविवर्जितः॥
One who is the same toward enemy and friend, in honour and insult, in cold and heat, in pleasure and pain, and who is free from clinging,
What it means
Imagine not being shaken by praise or insult. Treating people fairly whether they like you or not, and staying steady in good and hard times, is real strength.How it helps in real life
- At work: Your boss praised you on Monday and shouted at you on Friday. Take both with the same calm, note the useful feedback, and keep working.
- When you succeed: Your team won the corporate cricket tournament. Shake hands warmly with the losing side and buy them chai too.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जो दुश्मन और दोस्त के प्रति, मान और अपमान में, सर्दी-गर्मी और सुख-दुख में एक-सा रहता है, और जो आसक्ति से मुक्त है,
सोचिए, तारीफ़ या अपमान से न डगमगाना कैसा होगा। चाहे लोग पसंद करें या न करें, सबसे न्याय करना और अच्छे-बुरे समय में स्थिर रहना ही असली ताकत है।
Spoken by Krishna.
