Status Updates From The Bhagavad Gita

• Anjana (Knowing fire exists)
• Jnana (Seeing the fire)
• Vijnana (Creating the fire)

“The immature think that knowledge and action are different, but the wise see them as the same.”

“Nothing is ever lost in following one’s own dharma…”

Obsessed with Arjun basically telling God, “You’re confusing me.”

“Therefore, having controlled all the senses and concentrating his mind, he should sit for meditation, devoting himself heart and soul to Me. For, he whose senses are under his control, is known to have a stable mind. The man dwelling on sense-objects develops attachment for them; from attachment springs up desire, and from desire (unfulfilled) ensues anger.”

Tough day to be a perfume addict.

“The sage, whose mind remains unperturbed amid sorrows, whose thirst for pleasures has altogether disappeared, and who is free from passion, fear and anger, is called stable of mind. He who is unattached to everything, and meeting with good and evil, neither rejoices nor recoils, his mind is stable.” This is so Queens-guard core.

“Action with a selfish motive is far inferior to this Yoga in the form of equanimity. Do seek refuge in this equipoise of mind, Arjuna; for poor and wretched are those who are instrumental in making their actions bear fruit.”

I have always struggled with the moral neutrality of this.

“Arjuna, perform your duties established in
Yoga, renouncing attachment, and be even-minded in success and failure; evenness of mind is called ‘Yoga’.”
