असक्तिरनभिष्वङ्गः पुत्रदारगृहादिषु । नित्यं च समचित्तत्वमिष्टानिष्टोपपत्तिषु ॥ ९ ॥
asaktir anabhiṣhvaṅgaḥ putra-dāra-gṛihādiṣhu nityaṁ cha sama-chittatvam iṣhṭāniṣhṭopapattiṣhu
Translation
non-attachment, not clinging to son, wife, home and the like, and constant evenness of mind whether the wanted or the unwanted comes,
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
आसक्ति का अभाव, पुत्र, स्त्री, घर आदि में ममता का न होना, और प्रिय-अप्रिय की प्राप्ति में सदा चित्त का सम रहना,
Commentary
Two words are used carefully: asakti (non-attachment) and anabhishvanga (not identifying with). The Gita does not ask anyone to stop loving their family. It asks them not to fuse their identity with family and home, so that love can continue without possessiveness and grief.
