Such a simple yet profound way of dealing when hurt by someone. “The more you get hurt early in life, you either become more Wise OR you become wounded. There’s no other possibility”. – Sadhguru
Even our Bhagavad Geeta is a treasure trove of timeless wisdom and practical guidance on how to deal with hurt and emotional pain. Yet, even when we are aware of its teachings, we often fail to internalize and live by them.

Chapter 2, Shloka 56 of the Bhagavad Gita translates to – ‘A person who is not affected by distress, is free from desires for pleasures, and who is free from attachment, fear, and anger, is called a sage of steady mind.’
In this shloka, Lord Krishna tells humans about the importance of maintaining a steady and balanced mind regardless of how much anger must be boiling within. He advises people to remain undisturbed by both sorrow and joy and by not getting swayed by happiness or anger, one can learn how to be at peace with oneself and the world.
