The Bhagavad
Gita is the ultimate book of knowledge and is duly recognized as such
throughout the world. Its wisdom transcends the limits of time and space. I
publish daily one message from the book which can be related to our daily life
titled: Thought4TheDay
These are
widely read and highly appreciated by my connections on LinkedIn, friends on
Facebook and followers on twitter totally about 27000 people. As recommended by
some friends, I am posting the same here. You may ask questions and/or post
your comments which be appreciated. Hope you will find the initiative very
rewarding.
Thought4TheDay
(19.10.2019)
Lord Krishna
says to Arjuna, "The person who has conquered his self, his senses and his
body, and has given up all objects of worldly pleasures; such a person, without
his dependence on hopes of any kind, can carry out his normal duties and
perform all his work utilising his body and senses and yet remain free from sin
of any kind."
He accepts
with joy whatever he receives, because he is not bound by his desire nor
hankers after worldly objects. The person who has freed himself of ego, envy or
jealousy of any kind, and who transcends the effects of pleasure or pain,
remains calm and composed in success or failure. Such a person remains free
from attachment. He continues to perform his duty with joy."
When we understand and contemplate on these
words of Lord Almighty, we find the futility of attachment with the result of
our efforts. It does not mean that our efforts are affected by the lack of
interest. It only means that we put our mind and soul in performance of our
duty, without our anxiety about the results. We achieve the best what is
possible. That is progress. That is growth. And, that is the real prosperity.

Lord Krishna
says, " Arjuna, the ignorant people do not understand My prime attribute
and consider Me like other ordinary human beings. Even though I attain the
human form and wander amongst worldly life, I do so only for the benefit of
human society. Yet they inadvertently consider Me the Almighty, as any other
common human being."
"These
people are engaged in futile actions and nurture unproductive knowledge. In
fact, these are the people who have limited intellect and assume 'rakshasi',
'asuri' or ' Mohini' Prakriti' (lower category of human character)."
"But
Arjuna, the great souls assume 'devi' Prakriti (divine nature) and they
understand Me as the endless cause of all living beings. They consider Me alone
as the immortal and beyond destruction. They worship Me whole heartedly."
It's only when
we realise the presence of Lord Almighty in all things and everywhere that we
maintain the right path. We are not lost in bewilderment which abounds in this
illusionary world. We realise our significance of life and we contribute to the
progress and growth of human society.
