The Essence Of Geeta!!!

[fatima]

Why do you worry, Whom or what do you fear, Who can kill or harm you? The soul is never born... nor is it subject to death.


What has happened has happened, and it has happened for some good. What is happening is also for some good, and what will happen, will be also for your good. So, don't repent about the past, neither worry about the future. The present is here, just live it.


What have you lost that you grieve, What did you bring along that you lost, What did you produce or create that has been destroyed? You never brought anything along. Whatever you gained, you gained it from here. Whatever you lost, you lost it here.  You came empty handed, and you will leave empty handed. What is yours today, belonged to someone else before, and will belong to someone else tomorrow, and to another person at some other time. What you take as yours, the material things, relations etc. and feel so contended, those very things and the feeling of contention resulting from such thoughts, are the real cause of your sufferings.


Change is the essence of Life. What you think as Death, is in fact a new beginning in itself, a new life. In one moment you become a millionaire, the next moment you become poor. Remove such thoughts like.... yours & mine, big & small, ours & yours, etc.... then you will see that all belongs to you and you belong to all.


Neither this body is yours nor you belong to this body. It is composed of Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Space and will dissolve into these at your death. Only the soul is eternal, and is a part of that Bigger Soul, we call God.  He who understands this fact of life, is absolved of all fear, worries, sufferings and sorrow.


Whatever you do, just surrender your achievements or failures to God. This way you will experience eternal bliss void of any EGO, desires and sorrows.

An excellent insight of Geeta..though we all are aware of the essence of Geeta but in day to day rushes we forget our spiritual selves and entangled in all sorts of worries....really reading this post has taken some burden off my shoulders, of my deeds....thanks!

Yes this is great Geeta-saar. What Lord Krishna is saying here is that the visible world that we see around is is transient & illusory. It does not exist. The people take it to be real & thier whole & sole & thereby entagle themselves due to the idea of "I and Mine".
     But the highest knowledge that is given by the Lord here is that "O Arjuna, you are neither different from me, nor are you a part of me, you are EXACTLY ME."   The jeevas think that they are different from the lord. To clear this misconception, one needs the grace of the guru.
