The Bhagavad Gita Talks 15



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 (05.10.2017) 



The knowledgeable and the wise understands that our significance in this life is best served if we serve the Almighty, the Super soul incorporating the entire humanity selflessly. This service is the greatest form of worship. No rituals are required for the service of mankind. All that is needed is performance of one's duty which is dedicated to the upliftment of those who are suffering and who need help. Some people, who strive to work hard to get the rewards of their efforts in achieving what they want in the form of worldly possessions, they get them. But these are transient, perishable, because all these are left behind when we depart and leave this body. 

The wise does not get attached. All achievement are made for the progress of society. There is no doubt that nothing worthwhile is achieved without contributions from the other members of the society. 

The worst is suffered by the person of tamasik nature, when the person hates to work. Laziness, procrastination and indecision leading to inaction produce guilt in the mind and the concerned one suffers. 

" Duty first, always in mind, greater joy you will never find."

Thought4TheDay (04.10.2017) 

Lord Krishna says, "Hidden amidst My yoga maya (illusion), I am not visible to everyone. Therefore, ordinary people are not in a position to realise My presence everywhere. I am birth less and immortal unlike common human beings". "Whoever has lived and whatever has happened in the past, I know it all. I know about the present and the future. But whoever is not My true devotee will never understand Me, realise Me". 

"Born out of desire and envy, people get pleasure or pain. These are the ones who are enamoured by My maya and remain in their own ignorant world. They are not the seekers of truth. They remain devoid of knowledge". 

Quest for knowledge is the first step towards self realisation. Who am I? What am I doing? what is my significance? What is the purpose of my life? When you contemplate on these pertinent perennial questions, your anxiety, worry or stress of any kind is bound to vanish. You start understanding life. You realise that life does not offer poetic justice. You start accepting life as it is and become a person at peace with self.

Thought4TheDay (03.10.2017) 



The persons whose wisdom is captured by the desire to own the worldly possessions, motivated by their dominant attributes, start worshiping deities. The Lord Almighty helps in them to strengthen their belief and make them more focused in their objectives. Thus a person with faith is never a loser. In fact, someone who lacks faith, who also lacks in self belief, is the one who has lost path and is not even able to pursue his own goals. 

Faith helps to shape your actions. Self belief gives you the confidence that you are able to achieve what you desire. That motivates you to be consistent in your approach. But if you lack faith, you are bound to lose your path. Instead of building your self esteem by trying your best to reach your goal, you get distracted and in such a situation, it is not possible to persevere in your efforts. Therefore, you are not able to achieve what you want; your efforts are wasted. 

Faith in God and self belief followed by consistent hard work constitute the necessary ingredients of your achievement, your success.

Thought4TheDay (02.10.2017) 

 
There are four types of devotees: 1. Those who worship God with a desire to achieve material, worldly objects. 2. Those who are in dire difficulties and want to come out of these. 3. Those who have quest for knowledge. 4. And the wise. 

Lord Krishna tells Arjuna that all the four types of devotees are dear to Him. But the wise or the knowledgeable is most loveable because such an individual is, in fact, His own reflection, who has merged in Him, realised Him. 

The individual who finds God in everything around is always at peace with self. There is no stress, no worry, no difficulty, even no calamity that can disturb mental stability and peace of such an individual. No doubt, it is rare to find such a sacred soul. 

At the same time, we observe that response of everyone is not the same to the dreadful circumstances. Life is like an ocean: sometimes calm and peaceful, but at other times, it may turn violent and full of fury. But for the knowledgeable that is life, different facets, a constant battle between the good and the evil, a unique creation which is our reality.

Thought4TheDay (01.10.2017) 


There are three tendencies present in the mind of any individual. These are - 'Satvaguna', 'Rajoguna' and 'Tamoguna'. Satvaguna drives the person to pursue the spiritual and saintly activities; Rajoguna promotes desire for worldly possessions, and Tamoguna drives one to be lazy and insolent who avoids to do any work. 

"Actions, born due to interaction of these three Gunas (attributes) – Satva (endowed with goodness), Rajas (endowed with passion) and Tamas (ignorance) influence all living beings and leave them enamoured." 

“Because my maya (a deceptive illusion of reality) is full of wonder and perplexity, it is extremely difficult to overcome. But seekers, who worship Me and meditate transcend above the influence of this maya (illusion).”

 The three tendencies-Satva, Rajas and Tamas interplay among themselves in any ordinary individual all the times. When Satvaguna becomes strong overpowering the other two, the individual gets engaged in devotion to the Almighty, works for the good of humanity, performs duty without being attached to the results. 

Likewise, Rajoguna suppresses the other two and Tamoguna becomes dominant among the three at different times.

THought4TheDay (30.09.2017) 



"Arjuna, I am the immortal seed of life on earth. I am the wisdom of the wise and I am the divinity of the divine. I am tapa(penance) of the saints. I am the courage of the brave; knowledge of the knowledgeable; heat of the fire; life in all living beings.

" Thus, excellence in any activity is the gift of the Almighty, His grace. When we know this, we are motivated to do our best in whatever we do because that is nothing but service to Him. Insolence is against His wishes. Inactivity takes us away from Him. The application of mind, all inventions and developments of the material and the intellect invoke His divine pleasure. The lessons that we draw will never allow us to lose our chosen path. The consistency and perseverance without which no worthwhile project can be achieved are His grace. This should be considered by us as our worship and devotion to Him. 

In fact, performance of our duty to the best of our ability takes us closer to Him when it's performed without any selfish motive.

Thought4TheDay (29.09.2017)



Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna that He is omnipresent. The entire cosmos is created by Him. In fact, He is the entire cosmos. He is the Nature. He is the light and heat of the sun. He grants liquidity to water, He is the ether; the air; the vegetation; the ocean with all its aquatic life, and everything the we see and perceive. Thus, when we recognise this and respect Nature and the entire cosmos, we are recognising Him, we are respecting Him. He is the beginning, He is the end; He is the cause and He is the result.

If that be so, all we must do to live significantly is to accept life as it is. We must never feel dejected or neglected. Life was never the same for everyone; it is never same now and will never be the same in times to come. It, however, would not mean that we have no contribution to make. It only means that whatever role we are playing, we should do that to the best of our ability, our might. Because, we are a part of Him, belong to Him; we only have to dedicate all our efforts to Him.

Progress is assured according to the efficacy of our performance, but more importantly, we remain at peace with ourselves. Live Stress free Life; Read Gita.

Thought4TheDay (28.09.2017)



Lord Krishna to Arjuna: 

"I will explain to you the complete divine wisdom based on Science. Once you acquire this Knowledge, nothing remains worthy to be known anymore.”
“Among thousands of people, only one really tries to realise Me. And among those yogis rarely one, devotes himself whole heartedly to Me, understand Me correctly and in the true sense.” 

“Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and ego – My nature is divided into these eight elements. These elements comprise My basic nature. The other side of My nature is responsible for all living beings. It is the living consciousness.” 

We are indeed a minuscule part of Lord, the Almighty. Without undermining our progress, we need to meditate, devote some time to think about significance of life, about our duty which is to serve Lord the Almighty by serving the humanity at large. In this way we can be at peace with ourselves and experience true happiness.
