उत्तिष्ठ Uttishtha
Arise with knowledge from the Gita & Upanishads
Find steadiness: choose one quality and let it guide your actions.
अहिंसा सत्यमक्रोधस्त्यागः शान्तिरपैशुनम् । दया भूतेष्वलोलुप्त्वं मार्दवं ह्रीरचापलम् ॥
Bhagavad Gita 16.2
Non-violence, truthfulness, freedom from anger, letting go, calm, not finding fault, compassion for all beings, freedom from greed, gentleness, modesty and steadiness.
This list offers a guide for a steady day. Choose one quality – gentleness, perhaps – and let it shape your actions. Remembering this list can bring calm, even when things are challenging.
When frustrated, pause, and ask yourself: 'Can I respond with gentleness?'
