Bhagavad Gita 18.78 · Sanjaya
Where wisdom and action meet
यत्र योगेश्वरः कृष्णो यत्र पार्थो धनुर्धरः।
तत्र श्रीर्विजयो भूतिर्ध्रुवा नीतिर्मतिर्मम॥
yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo yatra pārtho dhanurdharaḥtatra śrīrvijayo bhūtirdhruvā nītirmatirmama
Where there is Krishna, Lord of yoga, and Arjuna, the archer, there will be fortune, victory, wellbeing and right living. This I believe.

What it means
The Gita ends with Sanjaya's conviction. Wherever Krishna, the Lord of yoga, is present, and wherever Arjuna, the archer, ready to act, is present, there will be fortune, victory, wellbeing and right living. Divine wisdom and human effort, together. That's the whole teaching in one picture.
The story
Sanjaya, speaking to the blind king, quietly tells him how the war will end. The side with wisdom and courage together cannot be defeated.
In your life
Remember the moments you combined real wisdom with brave action, and how they changed your life. Bring both together in one decision this week. Thank you for walking the Gita with us.
Where wisdom and courage meet, there is light.
