Chapter 2 · Sankhya Yoga · 05
Verse 2.5
Reflect on this shlok
गुरूनहत्वा हि महानुभावान् श्रेयो भोक्तुं भैक्ष्यमपीह लोके। हत्वार्थकामांस्तु गुरूनिहैव भुञ्जीय भोगान् रुधिरप्रदिग्धान्।।2.5।।
Meaning
It is better even to live on a beggar's fare in this world than to slay these most venerable teachers. If I were to slay my teachers, though they may be degraded by desire for wealth, I would only be enjoying blood-stained pleasures here.
Essence
This verse offers a lens for reflection, duty, and a wiser way to live.
A life example
Bring this teaching into one decision today with awareness and compassion.
