Chapter 3 • Verse 29
प्रकृतेर्गुणसम्मूढाः सज्जन्ते गुणकर्मसु। तानकृत्स्नविदो मन्दान्कृत्स्नविन्न विचालयेत्॥
prakṛiter guṇa-sammūḍhāḥ sajjante guṇa-karmasu tān akṛitsna-vido mandān kṛitsna-vin na vichālayet
Meaning
Those deluded by the modes of material nature become attached to material actions. The wise should not unsettle these less intelligent people who do not understand the complete truth.
Don't disturb those who can't yet grasp higher truths. Respect where people are in their journey. Advanced teachings given prematurely can cause confusion and harm.
Strength Reflection
"I respect each person's stage of development and share wisdom appropriately."
Devotional Surrender
Lord, grant me patience and wisdom in helping others grow at their own pace.
