Chapter 16 · Daivasura Sampad Vibhaga Yoga
Strength With Gentleness · A Divine Nature Holds Both
Meaning
"Vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, absence of malice, and freedom from excessive pride — these belong to one born with a divine nature, O Bharata."
Explanation
Strength and gentleness sit side by side in this list — vigor and forgiveness aren't opposites here, they're companions. A divine nature holds both firmness and softness together, rather than choosing one over the other.
Today's Life Lesson
Today, try holding both firmness and forgiveness together in how you respond — they aren't opposites, they work as a team.
