Even Happiness Can Bind · Holding Lightly to All
Meaning
"O Bharata, sattva binds one to happiness, rajas to action, and tamas, by covering knowledge, binds one to negligence."
Explanation
Even pleasant states like happiness can quietly become a kind of bond if we cling to them. Freedom means holding lightly to all three modes, not just the uncomfortable ones.
Today's Life Lesson
Notice today even the pleasant states you cling to — freedom means holding those lightly too.
