[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 2.65 · spoken by Krishna ]
Once that grace arrives, sorrow doesn't fade slowly. It's gone.
In that clarity, the destruction of all sorrows takes place. For one whose mind is content, the intellect soon becomes firmly established.
SANSKRIT
प्रसादे सर्वदुःखानां हानिरस्योपजायते । प्रसन्नचेतसो ह्याशु बुद्धिः पर्यवतिष्ठते ॥२-६५॥
KRISHNA’S LINE
“This is not a distant reward. In that clarity itself, every sorrow dissolves — not slowly, but at once. And the mind that was scattered for so long finally, quickly, settles.”
