उत्तिष्ठ Uttishtha

Arise with knowledge from the Gita & Upanishads

Cultivate a clear mind, gentleness, and quietness within.

मनः प्रसादः सौम्यत्वं मौनमात्मविनिग्रहः । भावसंशुद्धिरित्येतत्तपो मानसमुच्यते ॥

Bhagavad Gita 17.16

A clear and cheerful mind, gentleness, silence, self-control and a pure heart: this is called discipline of the mind.

A clear mind, gentleness, and quietness bring discipline. Today, consider how these qualities might shape your actions. Even small steps towards these qualities can bring steadiness to your day.

For one hour, notice and gently correct any harshness in your speech.
