Bhagavad Gita 7.11 meaning
balam balavatam chaham kamaraga-vivarjitam
dharmaviruddho bhooteshu kamosmi bharatarshabha
बलं बलवतां चाहं कामरागविवर्जितम्।
धर्माविरुद्धो भूतेषु कामोऽस्मि भरतर्षभ॥
Best of the Bharatas, I am the strength of the strong that is free from greed and obsession. In all beings, I am the desire that does not go against dharma.
What it means
Strength and desire are not bad in themselves. Power used without greed, and wanting things in ways that respect what is right, are both expressions of the divine.How it helps in real life
- With money: Want to earn more but feel guilty about ambition? Pursue the raise honestly, pay fair taxes, and never cut corners for it.
- When you succeed: Now in a position of power at work? Use your strength to protect juniors from unfair blame, not to push your own agenda.
हिंदी में अर्थ
हे भरतश्रेष्ठ, मैं बलवानों का वह बल हूँ जो कामना और आसक्ति से रहित है। सब प्राणियों में मैं वह इच्छा हूँ जो धर्म के विरुद्ध नहीं है।
ताकत और इच्छा अपने आप में बुरी नहीं हैं। लालच के बिना इस्तेमाल किया बल और धर्म के अनुकूल इच्छा, दोनों में ईश्वर झलकता है।
Spoken by Krishna.
