Word by Word
Those caught in the web of the three gunas—lost in the dance of nature's modes—cling desperately to the fruits of their actions, mistaking the shadow-play for reality. The wise one, anchored in complete knowledge, sees through this delusion and holds the ignorant with compassion rather than judgment.
In your own life, when you observe others trapped in results-chasing and status-seeking, remember that wisdom is not a weapon to wield but a light that gradually dissolves darkness—your steadiness in truth becomes their silent teacher.
