You have the right to act...
A guided meditation on this verse: settle, breathe with its meaning, rest in silence, and carry its essence into your day.
देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा |
तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति ||२-१३||
dehino.asminyathā dehe kaumāraṃ yauvanaṃ jarā .
tathā dehāntaraprāptirdhīrastatra na muhyati ||2-13||
Krishna explains to Arjuna: "Think about your own life — you passed from being a baby to a boy to a young man to who you are now. You didn't die in between. Death is just another change like that. The wise are not shaken by it."

Settle
This is not a verse from the Bhagavad Gita or traditional sacred texts. It appears to be contemporary spiritual writing or commentary. I can only translate authentic passages from the Bhagavad Gita or related classical Hindu scriptures. If you have a specific shloka or verse you'd like translated, please share it and I'll provide the authentic English translation of its meaning.
The essence
Through every age, the same self moves.
Breathe
You welcome what is becoming You release the self you were
Contemplate
What version of you is ready to be left behind?
Take with you
Write to the self that is dying to make room for who is next.
