Strength sans attachment, and the limits of the material || Acharya Prashant, on Bhagavad Gita(2020)

बलं बलवतां चाहं कामरागविवर्जितम् ।

धर्माविरुद्धो भूतेषु कामोऽस्मि भरतर्षभ ।। 7.11 ।।

balaṁ balavatāṁ chāhaṁ kāma-rāga-vivarjitam

dharmāviruddho bhūteṣhu kāmo ’smi bharatarṣhabha

And of the strong, I am the strength, which is devoid of desire and attachment, among the creatures I am the desire, which is not contrary to righteousness, O scion of the Bharat dynasty.

~ Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 7, Verse 11

✥ ✥ ✥

ये चैव सात्त्विका भावा राजसास्तामसाश्च ये ।

मत्त एवेति तान्विद्धि न त्वहं तेषु ते मयि ।। 7.12 ।।
