Bhagavad Gita 16.3

तेजः क्षमा धृतिः शौचमद्रोहो नातिमानिता। भवन्ति सम्पदं दैवीमभिजातस्य भारत॥

tejaḥ kṣhamā dhṛitiḥ śhaucham adroho nāti-mānitā bhavanti sampadaṁ daivīm abhijātasya bhārata

Translation

Vigour, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, absence of envy and pride—these are his who is born with the divine properties, O Bhârata.

What it means

Vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, freedom from malice and from pride: these belong to one born for the divine estate. Strength is included among the virtues. The divine type is not fragile; it is clean power.

Try this today

The divine inventory closes: energy and forgiveness together - strength that does not keep score.

Something to reflect on

Can I be vigorous and forgiving at once - strong without a scoreboard?
