Mahabharata 12.26.26 meaning
sukham va yadi va duhkham priyam va yadi vapriyam
praptam praptam upaseeta hridayenaparajitah
सुखं वा यदि वा दुःखं प्रियं वा यदि वाप्रियम्।
प्राप्तं प्राप्तमुपासीत हृदयेनापराजितः॥
Whether it is happiness or sorrow, pleasant or unpleasant, meet whatever comes with a heart that refuses to be defeated.
What it means
You do not get to pick what arrives at your door. You do get to pick the spirit you meet it with. An undefeated heart is not one that never hurts, but one that keeps standing.हिंदी में अर्थ
सुख हो या दुख, प्रिय हो या अप्रिय, जो भी आए उसे ऐसे मन से स्वीकार करो जो हार न माने।
दरवाज़े पर क्या आएगा, यह हम नहीं चुनते। पर उससे कैसे मिलेंगे, यह हमारे हाथ में है। अपराजित मन वह नहीं जिसे चोट न लगे, बल्कि वह जो फिर भी खड़ा रहे।
Spoken by Vyasa.
