उत्तिष्ठ Uttishtha
Arise with knowledge from the Gita & Upanishads
Meet all experiences with balance; let your heart remain steady.
समः शत्रौ च मित्रे च तथा मानापमानयोः । शीतोष्णसुखदुःखेषु समः सङ्गविवर्जितः ॥
Bhagavad Gita 12.18
The same to friend and foe, the same in honour and dishonour, in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, and free from attachment.
Whatever comes your way today – praise or criticism, comfort or discomfort – meet it with the same evenness. This steadiness doesn't mean you don't care, but that you don't let circumstance rule your heart.
When facing a small challenge, notice how you react and then try to respond evenly.
