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.
क्रोधाद्भवति सम्मोहः सम्मोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः |
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ||२-६३||
krodhādbhavati sammohaḥ sammohātsmṛtivibhramaḥ .
smṛtibhraṃśād buddhināśo buddhināśātpraṇaśyati ||2-63||
Krishna continues the chain: "Anger clouds your judgment. Clouded judgment makes you forget the lessons you've learned. When those lessons are gone, you lose the ability to tell right from wrong. And once that is gone — you are completely lost."
