उत्तिष्ठ Uttishtha
Arise with knowledge from the Gita & Upanishads
See the divine in those around you, and appreciate their presence.
मातृदेवो भव । पितृदेवो भव । आचार्यदेवो भव । अतिथिदेवो भव ।
Taittiriya Upanishad 1.11.2
Honour your mother as divine. Honour your father as divine. Honour your teacher as divine. Honour your guest as divine.
You recognize goodness around you, and that’s a beautiful thing. Consider the people who contribute to that goodness – your parents, your teacher, your guests. Seeing the divine in them helps you see the divine in everything.
When interacting with someone today, briefly acknowledge their worth.
