Bhagavad Gita 2.1
तं तथा कृपयाऽविष्टमश्रुपूर्णाकुलेक्षणम्। विषीदन्तमिदं वाक्यमुवाच मधुसूदनः॥
sañjaya uvācha taṁ tathā kṛipayāviṣhṭamaśhru pūrṇākulekṣhaṇam viṣhīdantamidaṁ vākyam uvācha madhusūdanaḥ
Translation
Sanjaya said: To him thus with pity overcome, with smarting brimming eyes, despondent, Madhusûdana spake these words:
What it means
Krishna begins to speak to Arjuna, who sits with brimming eyes, overcome by pity. The teacher's first words come only after the student has fully broken down. Real teaching starts where pretense ends.
Try this today
Notice the teacher starts only after the student has fully expressed his despair. Let people finish emptying their heart before you answer it.
Something to reflect on
When someone brings me their despair, do I answer too quickly?
