Reflect

Toward whom could I soften, and meet the day a little more evenly?

अद्वेष्टा सर्वभूतानां मैत्रः करुण एव च

निर्ममो निरहङ्कारः समदुःखसुखः क्षमी

॥ १२.१३ ॥

He who is free from malice towards all beings, friendly and compassionate, rid of 'I' and 'mine', balanced in joy and sorrow, forgiving by nature, ever-contented and mentally united with Me, nay, who has subdued his mind, senses and body, has a firm resolve, and has surrendered his mind and reason to Me, that devotee of Mine is dear to Me.

verses 13–14

Finishing today lights your diya
