उत्तिष्ठ Uttishtha

Arise with knowledge from the Gita & Upanishads

Cultivate these qualities: humility, honesty, patience, and steadiness.

इन्द्रियार्थेषु वैराग्यमनहंकार एव च । जन्ममृत्युजराव्याधिदुःखदोषानुदर्शनम् ॥

Bhagavad Gita 13.8

Humility, sincerity, non-violence, patience, honesty, respect for one's teacher, purity, steadiness and self-control.

These qualities—humility, honesty, patience—are a guide for your day. Consider how you can show one of these qualities in a small interaction. It’s a steady path, one step at a time.

In one conversation today, practise patience: let the other person finish before you reply.
