Gita - divineastrology.com

The Bhagavad Gita ("Song of God") is the essence of the Vedas and Upanishads. It is a universal scripture applicable to people of all temperaments, for all times. It is a book with sublime thoughts and practical instructions on Yoga, Devotion, Vedanta and Action. The Bhagavad Gita has influenced many great thinkers over the years.

1. Why do you worry in vain, what or whom are you scared of? Who can kill you. The soul is immortal, it is neither born and neither will it ever perish.

2. Whatever happened, it was good. Whatever is happening and taking place, it is good. Whatever will come to take place, it will also be good. Don’t regret the past and do not worry about the future and the present is already ongoing.

3. What of yours has been taken away that you cry. What did you bring that you have lost? What did you create that has been destroyed? Neither did you bring anything with you nor will you take anything from here. Whatever you took and had you took from here. Whatever you gave, you gave it here. Whatever you took, you took from him and whatever you gave, you gave it to him. You came empty handed into this world and you will go empty handed. Whatever is yours or whatever you have today was somebody else’s yesterday. The same will be somebody else’s tomorrow. You think that it is yours and therefore feel happy and blissful. This exact feeling of joy is the cause of all your sorrows.

4. Change is the law and the rule of the world. That which you consider death is the actual life. In one instance, you become a millionaire and in the other, you are a pauper. Your and mine, small and big, my own and another’s are instances of the thoughts and feelings that your heart and head should remove and banish. Then all is yours and you are all.

5. Neither is this body yours nor do you belong to this body. The body is made of fire, water, air, earth and ether. It will go back and re-immerse in the elements. But the soul is stable and everlasting. Then what are you?

6. Dedicate and surrender yourself to God. This is the only supreme support. The person aware of this support and its strength, he will be forever removed and above fear, worries and sorrows.

7. Whatever you do, dedicate that to God as and when you do it. By doing this, you will experience the bliss of freedom from life – this sleep we call maya.
