Bhagavad Gita Teachings
(Gita Press, Gorakhpur)
Personally, I feel that the "Bhagavad Gita? is a lot more than just a religious book.
If you try to apply it?s teaching you will yourself experience improvements and benefits in your day-to-day life. Here is an effort I make to help everyone who reads this. Following are some of the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita to ponder upon and apply in your life.
The contacts between the senses and their objects, which give rise to the feelings of heat and cold, pleasure and pain etc., are transitory and fleeting therefore ignore them. The wise man to whom pain and pleasure are alike, and who is not tormented by these contacts, becomes eligible for immortality.
Your right is to work only, but never to the fruit thereof. Be not instrumental in making your actions bear fruit, nor let your attachment be to inaction.
Perform your duties established in yoga, renouncing attachment, and even-tempered in success and failure; evenness of temper is called yoga.
When your intellect, confused by hearing conflicting statements, will rest, steady and undistracted (in meditation) with God, you will then attain yoga, that is, the everlasting union with God.
When one thoroughly dismisses all cravings of the mind, and is satisfied in the self through the joy of the self, then he is called stable of mind.
The sage, whose mind remains unperturbed amid sorrows, whose thirst for pleasure has altogether disappeared and who is free from passion, fear and anger, is called stable of mind.
The man dwelling on sense-objects develops attachment for them, from attachment springs up desire and from desire unfulfilled ensues anger.
From anger arises infatuation, from infatuation, confusion of memory, loss of reason and from loss of reason one goes to complete ruin.
But the self-controlled man while enjoying the various sense-objects through his senses, which are disciplined and free from likes and dislikes attains placidity of mind.As the water of different rivers enter the ocean, which though full on all sides remain undisturbed, likewise he in all enjoyments merges himself and attains peace, not he who hankers after such enjoyments.
