Bhagavad Gita 1.31
निमित्तानि च पश्यामि विपरीतानि केशव। न च श्रेयोऽनुपश्यामि हत्वा स्वजनमाहवे॥
nimittāni cha paśhyāmi viparītāni keśhava na cha śhreyo ’nupaśhyāmi hatvā sva-janam āhave
Translation
And I see adverse omens, O Keshava. Nor do I foresee any advantage from slaying kinsmen in battle.
What it means
Arjuna reads adverse omens and sees no good in killing kinsmen. A mind in crisis reaches for signs to justify what it already feels. The Gita will answer not the omens but the underlying confusion about duty and self.
Try this today
Distress starts interpreting the world: omens appear when the mind seeks reasons to stop.
Something to reflect on
Are the reasons I see for quitting real, or generated by my fear?
