सदृशं चेष्टते स्वस्याः प्रकृतेर्ज्ञानवानपि। प्रकृतिं यान्ति भूतानि निग्रहः किं करिष्यति॥
sadrisham cheshtate svasyah prakriter jnanavaan api prakritim yanti bhutani nigrahah kim karishyati
Translation
Even a wise person acts according to their own nature. All beings follow their nature. What can repression accomplish?
Commentary
A remarkably modern teaching — even wise people act according to their nature. Repression does not work; transformation of nature is needed. Understanding and working with one's nature is more effective than fighting against it.
