Inner Fulfillment · Unshakeable Ground

यं लब्ध्वा चापरं लाभं मन्यते नाधिकं ततः । यस्मिन्स्थितो न दुःखेन गुरुणापि विचाल्यते ॥

yaṁ labdhvā cāparaṁ lābhaṁ manyate nādhikaṁ tataḥ, yasmin sthito na duḥkhena guruṇāpi vicālyate.

Meaning

"Having gained which, one considers no other gain greater; established in it, one is not shaken even by the heaviest sorrow."

Explanation

When you've truly found what matters most, no loss elsewhere can shake the ground you stand on.

Today's Life Lesson

Ask yourself today what actually can't be taken from you, and let that be your steady ground.
