Bhagavad Gita 18.22 meaning
yat tu kritsnavad ekasmin karye saktam ahaitukam
atattvarthavad alpam cha tat tamasam udahritam
यत्तु कृत्स्नवदेकस्मिन्कार्ये सक्तमहैतुकम्।
अतत्त्वार्थवदल्पं च तत्तामसमुदाहृतम्॥
The knowledge that clings to one small thing as if it were everything, without reason, without grasping the truth, narrow and shallow, is called tamasic.
What it means
Tunnel vision, treating one opinion, one fear or one obsession as the whole truth, is the dullest form of knowing. Stepping back to see more is the way out.How it helps in real life
- When you are worried: One bad medical report and your mind is sure it's the worst. Ask your doctor for the full picture before deciding anything.
- When you are angry: Convinced your manager hates you because of one email? Look at six months of interactions before deciding what's true.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जो ज्ञान किसी एक छोटी बात को ही सब कुछ मानकर उससे चिपक जाता है, बिना तर्क के, सच्चाई को समझे बिना और संकुचित होता है, वह तामसिक कहलाता है।
किसी एक राय, डर या ज़िद को ही पूरा सच मान लेना सबसे धुँधली समझ है। थोड़ा पीछे हटकर बड़ा देखना ही इससे बाहर निकलने का रास्ता है।
Spoken by Krishna.
