    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.

    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.

    Divinity in Everything

    If the earth is divine, then whatever has grown on the earth is also divine, including our own body. Instead of realizing this divinity which is already there in us and around us, we construct temples to install God there.

    Theory of rebirth?

    Birth and rebirth are tentative propositions, one visible and the other invisible, to help man think about continuity of existence. When his sense of enquiry grows and deepens, this continuity will be probed, dissected as it were, to take him to the nonobject, the Subject entity,

    The truth about Samādhi

    To think that the practice of samādhi is the finale in spiritual life is wrong. The man of perfection is not one who is permanently immersed in samādhi. Even Samādhi is a state or avastha.

    Bhagavad Gita for Personality Transformation

    Right from birth, we are slave to our attraction and repulsion towards worldly objects and situations. Our mind constantly undergoes elation, depression, and agitation, depending on whether the objective situation we face is to our liking or disliking.

    The Right Focus

    Do not then look at thoughts or memories as disturbances, unfriendly or alien. Let them come or not, mind remains as Consciousness alone. Legs are legs whether they walk or run or sit. Think of this truth and allow all the mind-work to be on
