Bhagavad Gita 18.14 meaning
adhishthanam tatha karta karanam cha prithagvidham
vividhash cha prithak cheshta daivam ch-aivatra panchamam
अधिष्ठानं तथा कर्ता करणं च पृथग्विधम्।
विविधाश्च पृथक्चेष्टा दैवं चैवात्र पञ्चमम्॥
They are: the body as the base, the doer, the various instruments, the many different efforts, and fifth, the unseen hand of fate or the divine.
What it means
Every result needs a body, a person, tools, effort and forces beyond our control. You are one part of the picture, not the whole of it. That truth humbles us in success and comforts us in failure.How it helps in real life
- After a setback: Your restaurant failed despite your best effort. List the factors beyond you: rent, location, the pandemic. Learn your lessons and forgive yourself.
- When you succeed: Your app finally took off. In your launch speech, thank the team, the investors and plain luck, not just yourself.
हिंदी में अर्थ
वे हैं: शरीर जो आधार है, करने वाला, तरह-तरह के साधन, अलग-अलग प्रकार की कोशिशें, और पाँचवाँ, दैव यानी अदृश्य शक्ति।
हर नतीजे में शरीर, व्यक्ति, साधन, मेहनत और कुछ ऐसी शक्तियाँ होती हैं जो हमारे बस में नहीं। हम पूरी तस्वीर नहीं, उसका एक हिस्सा हैं।
Spoken by Krishna.
