What it means
Three habits protect your peace: stop chasing the impossible, let go of what is already gone, and stay clear-headed in trouble. Practise these, and life's ups and downs lose much of their sting.हिंदी में अर्थ
समझदार लोग अप्राप्य चीज़ की चाह नहीं करते, खोई हुई चीज़ पर शोक नहीं करते और संकट में भी घबराते नहीं।
तीन आदतें मन की शांति बचाती हैं — असंभव के पीछे न भागना, गई चीज़ का शोक छोड़ना और मुसीबत में होश न खोना।
Spoken by Manthara the tortoise.
