Bhagavad Gita 1.30
गाण्डीवं स्रंसते हस्तात्त्वक्चैव परिदह्यते। न च शक्नोम्यवस्थातुं भ्रमतीव च मे मनः॥
gāṇḍīvaṁ sraṁsate hastāt tvak chaiva paridahyate na cha śhaknomy avasthātuṁ bhramatīva cha me manaḥ
Translation
Gândîva slips from my hand, and my skin burns all over, I am not able to stand, my mind is whirling,
What it means
His bow slips from his hand, his skin burns, his mind whirls. The celebrated archer cannot hold his weapon. When identity and duty collide, even trained competence deserts a person until the deeper question is answered.
Try this today
Stress now costs him his tool - the bow of a warrior. Overwhelm first takes away exactly the capability the moment demands.
Something to reflect on
What is my 'bow' - the core skill stress takes from me - and how do I protect it?
