Bhagavad Gita CH 11 Universal Form

Bhagavad Gita CH 11
Universal form

Arjuna asks Krishna to reveal His splendor. Krishna gives him divine eyes with which he sees te universal Form. Arjuna is awestruck by this magnificent display. He bows down with folded hands and describes this spectacular vision.
Krishna then displays His raw power, all-devouring and fearful. Overcome with fear Arjuna asks Krishna to go back to His gentle form. Krishna shows his form, His gentle and gorgeous nature.
Krishna underscores the rare privilege earned by Arjuna. Even the gods long to see this form which cannot be seen by mere spiritual practices. But one who acts for Me, is devoted to me and regards Me as supreme obtains Me.

Inspired Living

Inspired Living

The modern generation, with all its gizmos and hi-tech entertainment, still finds life boring and depressing. The robotic patterns of waking up every morning, rushing to work and going through the motions of your job can be mind-numbing. What is sorely lacking in life is 'INSPIRATION'. To be inspired you must have a vision beyond your individual needs and aspirations and encompass the well-being of the world. This vision then translates into a goal that is pursued with relentless focus, deep devotion and outstanding work. Then you will be so fulfilled at work that you will no longer need a weekend. The annual vacation will become redundant as your vocation becomes a source of joy and excitement.
How many of us wake up inspired, looking forward to a day of service? Who among us finds exhilaration in contributing to society, adding value to others? Life changes magically from boredom to excitement when you are enthused to serve the world. You redefine norms and attain the impossible, paving the way to outstanding success. You find happiness at work, not in escaping from it. Most importantly, you evolve spiritually.
Inspiration gives ordinary people the courage to make life better for themselves and for future generations. It enables them to transform into extraordinary achievers.

Bhagavad Gita CH 8 Imperishable Brahman

Bhagavad Gita CH 8
Imperishable Brahman

The theme of the chapter is, 'As You Think So You Become'. You sculpt your future by guiding your thoughts towards the goal. If the goal is worldly, you remain caught up in the vagaries of the world. If you invest your thoughts in the spiritual ideal, you break free from the cycle of birth and death to merge into Brahman.
Krishna offers three options to humanity--the path of return, non--return and direct liberation. If you perform desire-driven noble actions, you go to heaven after death to enjoy the fruits of your goodness. Once this punya (merit) is exhausted, you return to the mortal world. If you aspire for Realisation but stray into desire-driven good actions you get liberation in phases. You go to heaven, enjoy the heavenly pleasures and then proceed to the fourth plane of Consciousness.
But the true yogi rises above these paths and pursues. You go to heaven, enjoy the heavenly pleasures and then proceed to the fourth plane of Consciousness.
But the true yogi rises above these paths and pursues direct liberation here and now.

Bhagavad Gita CH 5 Renounce To Rejoice

Bhagavad Gita CH 5
Renounce to Rejoice

The Bhagavad Gita expounds on the glory of renunciation.
Renunciation is not life denying. It is an exhilarating confidence in the higher aspects of life.
Renunciation is not giving up actions. It is acting in a spirit of renunciation.
Renunciation is not giving up things that are dear to you. It is growth to appreciate far more fulfilling avenues of enjoyment.
The Bhagavad Gita shows a way out of bondage to liberation while transacting with the world and enjoying its offerings.
In the end renunciation opens the doors to Realisation. A life in which you are not hampered by the limitations of the body, mind and intellect. You sail aloft, unaffected by the finitude of the world and enjoy the realm beyond.
