experience

From every experience I have learned this: kindness should walk with wisdom, and compassion should be guided by discernment. I do not fear the world, but I remain alert. I neither rush to believe every story nor let every voice enter my mind. My peace is protected by conscious awareness.”
Beginning – Bhagavad Gita (2:50)

“One who acts with wisdom and equanimity becomes skillful in action.”

The Seeker asked, “Why do I stay so alert now?”

The Sage replied, “Because awareness is not fear. The world contains kindness and deception alike. Let your heart remain open, but let your discernment remain awake. Listen before believing. Observe before reacting.

Not every thought deserves your attention, and not every story deserves your trust.

Protect your inner stillness, for a steady mind is not easily disturbed.”

“Let a person lift oneself by oneself and not degrade oneself. For the self alone is the friend of oneself, and the self alone is the enemy of oneself.”
