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

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 (23.09.2017) 

 

“The person whose likes and dislikes are replaced with wisdom and science, whose intentions are beyond any blemishes, who has thoroughly conquered his senses, and for whom dust, stone and gold are all alike; it is said such a yogi (ascetic) is complete and is on the right path or in other words, he has realized God.” “He is the purest and most worthy among human beings. He is unselfish and interested in the good of everyone. He does not distinguish between friend and foe. He treats alike, the virtous and the sinners.” 

“The person who keeps complete control over his body including his senses and his mind, he who does not live on vain hopes and is free from greed is a yogi. He should often seek a solitary place and meditate continuously with his devoted mind about the marvels of the Almighty.” 

If we spend sometime daily on contemplating what has been said above life would peaceful and stress free.

I request all friends to share these words of Lord Krishna for benefit of others.

Thought4TheDay (22. 09.2017) 

 

"The person who has controlled his mind, and gets endowed with the purity of thoughts, his 'atma' (soul) is no less than Almighty, as he is the embodiment of atma in all beings; Such a karamyogi carries on performing his duties without attachment"

"The man of wisdom, Sankhyayogi; when he touches or when he smells; when he speaks or he listens; when he eats or walks or sleeps or breathes; when he relinquishes or receives, and even when he closes his eyes or opens them, when he walks or sits, considers that all his senses carry on with their functions. He thinks that he, in fact, is not doing anything whatsoever." 

Thus the person who has dedicated all his actions to the Almighty (society, or humanity at large) gets rid of attachments of all kinds and performs his duty peacefully. He is like a lotus flower in muddy waters and doesn't get affected by sins of any kind. When the focus is just on doing what you are doing, the performance would be at par excellence,undoubtedly.

Thought4TheDay (20.9.2017)

A man is his own enemy or he can be his own friend. The difference happens according to his ability to give himself a direction befitting someone who wants to understand his higher self. Or he is just swayed by the wayward actions of his body due to inability to control mind and senses. Even when he knows that temptations are not good for him, yet he is compulsively drawn towards these sensory gratifications due to lack of self control. In such circumstances, the man is his own enemy.

The person who bears no agitation or attachment in pleasure or in pain, in summer or in rain or winter, in fact, pursues the right path of life. He is not affected by respect or disrespect by others due to their own lack of understanding of life. Such a person is his own friend.

His 'atma' (soul) has attained self realised freedom, and his mind is always creatively engaged in the Almighty. His wisdom teaches him that nothing is really as important as Almighty, the Lord.

Thought4TheDay (19.09.2017) 

Through the meditative technique which is described as follows, the practitioner can focus his attention and control his mind. He should fix mindfulness by thinking and visualising his gaze in the middle of eyes on his forehead. 

This will enable him to be rid of thinking of worldly objects. So, focusing mind in the middle of forehead, practitioner has to observe his breathing in and breathing out. The process of inhaling and exhaling of breath, then, needs to be equated. It means the same measure of breath should be inhaled and exhaled in equal duration. When it is achieved, the practitioner should meditate on God the Almighty, the all pervading being. Eventually, he develops his ability to perceive oneness with The Lord. 

In this manner, the selfless person will be able to realise that there is nothings more important than his presence in Lord the Almighty and presence of the Lord in him. There remains nothing for him which is more precious when compared to his experience. With this practice, he achieves highest form of peace, which is a far cry for humans attached and engaged in the worldly affairs, trying to fulfil their wishes and desires, which are all so short lived.

Thought4TheDay (18.09.2017) 

It is recommended that some time one must spend alone during the day. These moments need to be spent on contemplating one's own place or status in reference to life's vision one has defined and the mission and the goals set. 

Lord Krishna says, "The person who decisively listens to his soul and not his senses, who comforts with not what he has achieved in respect of material possessions, but who discovers joy in the good deeds carried out as devotion towards 'ME' for the good of the society is happy and truly wise. 

The person who finds his happiness only in his own atma (soul) and dwells in his atma, guided by his atma can alone experience oneness with 'ME' the all pervading, all powerful Almighty Lord. With such matchless position, he attains peace and tranquility."

Lord Krishnaexplained to Arjuna in response to his question whether renunciation of work is better or working with devotion is superior.

According to Lord Krishna Karamsanyas yoga, in other words yoga of renunciation of work is difficult for human beings.

It is difficult to eradicate ego from whatever efforts one makes. It is difficult to carry out .your duty believing at the same time that you are not the doer.

Your work, in any case, you have to do and you must do it to the best of your ability.

As compared to renunciation of work, carrying out your duty with devotion is easier. Here, you are not expecting any personal reward or fruit of the efforts. You are not expecting any profit. You are not acting because of any selfish motive. You are dedicating your efforts to 'ME' said the Lord. In fact, you are dedicating your efforts to the humanity. Because as I said earlier all beings, living beings are parts of 'Mine'. So, any efforts.of yours if these are bringing good to the society; these are in reality serving 'ME'.

Therefore, for us the common people, doing our work without selfish motive, or for the good of society or Karmayoga is a path we need to follow.

Thought4TheDay (05.09.2017)

Actions are the results of the 3 human 'gunas' or tendencies and their interaction in the human mind. These three attributes are: Satva, Rajas and Tamas. At different times one or the other dominates overpowering the remaining two. Each of these are responsible for particular activity or inactivity.

Satva, when in power, motivates the individual to engage in spirituality, charitable activities, gratitude, compassion, devotion to God etc.

Likewise, when 'Rajas' is prominent, the person becomes engaged in physical endeavours. Material desires take charge of him. At such moments, Satva tendencies are subdued. Such times are replete with human emotions. Happiness, anguish, sufferings, exhilarations etc. dominate life.

But when 'Tamas' dominates, the person becomes victim of laziness, indolence, dunes of mind, feeling of helplessness, negativity, pessimism etc.
