Bhagavad Gita 14.12 meaning
lobhah pravrittir arambhah karmanam ashamah spriha
rajasy-etani jayante vivriddhe bharatarshabha
लोभः प्रवृत्तिरारम्भः कर्मणामशमः स्पृहा।
रजस्येतानि जायन्ते विवृद्धे भरतर्षभ॥
Greed, constant activity, starting new ventures, restlessness and craving: these arise when passion grows strong, best of the Bharatas.
What it means
Can't sit still, always chasing the next deal, never satisfied? That's passion in overdrive. Ambition is useful, but when it turns into restless greed, it's time to pause and breathe.How it helps in real life
- With money: Third crypto app this month, chasing the next big coin? Close them, write down your actual goals, and sleep on any new bet.
- At work: Starting a fourth side business before the first three are stable? Pause new ventures for three months and fix what you already have.
हिंदी में अर्थ
हे भरतश्रेष्ठ, जब रजोगुण बढ़ता है तब लोभ, लगातार काम में लगे रहना, नए-नए काम शुरू करना, बेचैनी और लालसा पैदा होते हैं।
चैन से न बैठ पाना, हमेशा अगले सौदे के पीछे भागना, कभी संतुष्ट न होना: यह बढ़ा हुआ रजोगुण है। महत्वाकांक्षा अच्छी है, पर लालच बने तो रुककर साँस लें।
Spoken by Krishna.
