Bhagavad Gita 16.12
आशापाशशतैर्बद्धाः कामक्रोधपरायणाः।ईहन्ते कामभोगार्थमन्यायेनार्थसञ्चयान्॥
āśhā-pāśha-śhatair baddhāḥ kāma-krodha-parāyaṇāḥ īhante kāma-bhogārtham anyāyenārtha-sañchayān
Translation
Held in bondage by a hundred ties of expectation, given over to lust and anger, they strive to obtain by unlawful means hoards of wealth for sensual enjoyments.
What it means
Bound by a hundred snares of hope, given to lust and anger, they seek unjust hoards of wealth for the gratification of desire. Expectation is described as bondage, a hundred ropes at once. The striving never rests because the goalpost is the self.
Try this today
Expectation as rope: a hundred threads of 'when I get X' binding one person.
Something to reflect on
How many 'when I get X' threads are currently tied to my peace?
