The world is an agitation, the wise one subsides it || Acharya Prashant, on Bhagavad Gita (2020)

यस्मान्नोद्विजते लोको लोकान्नोद्विजते च यः।

हर्षामर्षभयोद्वेगैर्मुक्तो यः स च मे प्रियः।। 12.15 ।।

yasmān nodvijate loko lokān nodvijate cha yaḥ

harṣhāmarṣha-bhayodvegair mukto yaḥ sa cha me priyaḥ

He by whom the world is not agitated and who cannot be agitated by the world, and who is freed from joy, envy, fear and anxiety - he is dear to Me.

~ Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 12, Verse 15

✥ ✥ ✥

Questioner (Q): What is implied by, “He by whom the world is not agitated”? All the greats have indeed agitated some people around them: Rama agitated Ravana, and Krishna agitated Kamsa, Duryodhana, etc.
