BHAGWAD GITA
buddhau saranam anviccha
krpanah phala-hetavah (2.49)
“Remaining ‘centered’, move on in Life. If
you are not united with yourself, neither your
intellect will be bright nor your emotions get
enriched.” And when you are not at peace
emotionally, how can there be happiness in
your life?
asantasya kutah sukham (2.66)
When you are disturbed, and when there is
no peace in you, there can be no happiness.
“So Arjuna, get back to your Self. Collect
everything together - your mind, body,
emotions and intellect, everything. Wake
up!”
Then Krishna goes on to describe people
who go about proclaiming, “This is the final
Truth and this is the only way to Heaven.
There is nothing beyond this!”
Perhaps, there were Evangelists even in
those days, who would say, “This book is the
final book and this book has all the secrets
and all the truth and.....so on!”They would talk and talk, and talk, but don’t
have the compassion to guide people to
the truth. Krishna said, “Beware of all these
people. They are not going to lead you to
the freedom you are looking for.”kamat krodho ‘bhijayate (2.62)
They create a lot of desires in you. More
miracles, more desires are created in you.
Desires bring about anger, and anger brings
about delusion. Delusion makes you forget
the Truth, the reality.buddhi-nasat pranasyati (2.63)
And, delusion destroys one completely.nasti buddhir ayuktasya
Na cayuktasya bhavana (2.66)
One who is not connected with the Spirit,REMAINING
CENTERED
