Geeta Marg · 2.71
Supreme Peace
विहाय कामान्यः सर्वान्पुमांश्चरति निःस्पृहः। निर्ममो निरहंकारः स शांतिमधिगच्छति॥
What does Bhagavad Gita 2.71 mean?
The person who gives up all desires and lives free from possessiveness and ego attains true peace.
How can I apply Gita 2.71 in daily life?
The root of all sorrow is attachment to 'I' and 'mine.' When the feeling of 'I' and 'mine' slowly dissolves from within, the whole world begins to feel like one's own, and the mind experiences deep peace.
Krishna's teaching
Krishna says that the path to true peace lies in becoming free from desires and attachments. Let go of the ego of 'I' and 'mine,' hold your endless desires in check, and learn to find contentment in what you already have.
Affirmation
I am gradually letting go of my attachment to 'I' and 'mine.' Instead of chasing after desires, I choose contentment, self-restraint, and inner peace. I accept what I have, and I act without attachment.
