Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
25 | On Bhagavad Gita | Samatva – the essence of Bhagavad Gita
Take away from your mind, O Arjuna, all sense of difference about the spiritual pursuit. It is the mind and intelligence that work in both cases. In Jñāna-niṣṭhā, they become very specific and exclusive. And in Karma-niṣṭhā, their application is broad, including all activities of worldly life. So, remove even the least sense of difference between the two niṣṭhās. For, they have the same emphasis as well as goal. Each will take the seeker to the same spiritual goal of inner fullness, abundance and ecstasy.

24 | On Bhagavad Gita | Experiencing Brahma-nirvana
Do not animals and birds live? Do they have desires like humans have? What about plants, trees and creepers? You cannot attribute desires to them. All of them live; their lineages also continue. They never indulge in desires. Learn the lesson from them and live, move and pursue the natural course of life joyfully, harmoniously, in a fulfilling manner.

17 | On Bhagavad Gita | How to attain dexterity in action?
Does not viveka, therefore, demand that between the short-living and everlasting goals, the discreet mind should choose the everlasting, not the short-living?

15 | On Bhagavad Gita | Act fervently but without Sanga
Gita does not deal with the objective results of actions at all, where the rules and laws of the objective world prevail. Krishna, as well as Vedanta, speaks only about spirituality, the science of inner mind, intelligence and Self. Possession, dispossession, delusion, clarity, enlightenment, etc. are concepts that relate to the inner personality of the human.

Fostering equality and impartiality towards sukha and duhkha alike is the only option for the wise, to live in this world and move forward steadily and gloriously.

11 | On Bhagavad Gita | Spirituality is not disconnected to life
True spiritual wisdom as well as the instructions on its basis, is not detached from the facts and truths of our life and its purpose. Spirituality as a science and direct experience is in full harmony with one’s life and seeking, to fulfil his ultimate needs and compulsions.

10 | On Bhagavad Gita | Knowledge of Self dissolves all grief
In the body of all, the indwelling ‘I’, the Self, is always unkillable. Know that all beings have equally the same single Self, which cannot be acted upon by anything whatever. Therefore, you do not deserve to grieve at all, thinking of death and what death brings about.

4 | On Bhagavad Gita | Bhagavad Gita, the Universal Message
Immortality, moksha, is the goal of human life, especially of a seeker. For, he always aims at freedom (moksha). What is freedom? It is certainly not the physical freedom from anything. The freedom or moksha the seeker aims at is ‘inner’. It is freedom from the shackles our mind and intelligence seemingly impose.

3 | On Bhagavad Gita | With Equanimity float in the Sukha-duhkha world
All the interactions senses have with the world objects do bring about only the sukha-duhkha dvandvas, nothing more or different. When you are able to meet and dissolve the sukha-duhkhas, you can deal with the world as a whole, in full. Is this not a clear, inner victory over the world?

Influence of Gunas–Are we helpless?
Everything is the effect of guṇas. Work, cessation, dream, sleep, wakefulness — all. But within these, the guṇas alone make you think, enquire, seek etc. See all as guṇas and flow with them. Do when you feel like doing. Stop and leave when you feel so. Be natural.
