Titiksha

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

Sensory experiences of pleasure and pain are fleeting contacts that come and go—endure them with steadfast patience, for they are not permanent.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

The person who remains undisturbed by pleasure and pain alike—that wise, steady-minded one is fit for immortality.

Bhagavad Gita • Chapter 2

The unreal never truly exists; the Real never ceases to be—this is the fundamental insight that liberates the wise from all fear and delusion.

Bhagavata Purana - Book 10, Chapters 56-57

When Krishna is falsely accused of murdering Prasena for the magical Syamantaka jewel, he tracks the gem to Jambavan's cave. After fighting the ancient bear for 21 days, Jambavan recognizes Krishna as his former lord Rama. He surrenders the jewel and offers his daughter in marriage. Krishna returns the gem to Satrajit, clearing his name.

Rama & Bharata

True loyalty does not require reward and can wait as long as necessary - what matters is not what we endure but what we become through endurance.
