- With friends: Going to a Goa trip with friends but worried about overdoing it? Enjoy fully, set your own limits in advance, and stick to them.
- Health & body: At a Diwali party full of mithai? Enjoy one piece slowly, without guilt and without grabbing more, then go chat with someone.
हिंदी में अर्थ
परंतु जो संयमी व्यक्ति राग-द्वेष से मुक्त और अपने वश में रहने वाली इंद्रियों के साथ विषयों के बीच विचरता है, वह मन की प्रसन्नता पाता है।
शांति के लिए दुनिया से भागना ज़रूरी नहीं। हम उसके सुखों के बीच पूरी तरह जी सकते हैं, बस लालसा और नफ़रत हम पर हावी न हों।
Spoken by Krishna.
