Inspiring Verses of Bhagwad Gita

 

Friends, this is your friend Naresh interacting with you. In these difficult times of the Pandemic, I found the inspiring verses from the Shri Bhagwad Gita (and translated them into English): the primary purpose of Bhagwad Gita is to illuminate for all humanity the realization of the true nature of divinity; for the highest spiritual conception and the greatest material perception is to attain love of God.

For my friends in other countries: the Bhagavad Gita or Gita is a part of the epic Mahabharata. It has 700-Sanskrit verses by Lord Krishna. It is a compilation of dialogues between Pandava prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna during the Kurukshetra war. The holy book of the Hindus highlights the fundamental truths of life that have been inspiring the past and the present of everyone.

These words have given me a lot of strength and courage during this difficult phase of the Pandemic or the COVID 19, the worst times of our lives, when many of us must have been under depression.

For the benefit of all, I wish to share with you the same and I pray to Almighty to give us strength to overcome these times, when we are all suffering from the unexpected and uncertainty at all time. With my following talk and the words as recited by Supreme Lord Krishna Himself in the Holy Book, if I am able to bring some peace in the life of even one person, I will feel that I have achieved something in life.

These verses will surely heighten your perception and will help you look at your worries and your challenges in life in a different way.

Powerful  reminders:

Ø  To not get attached to your worldly possessions

Ø  To not burden yourself with the worry of things you cannot control

Ø  Do not identify too much with the world the way we see it.

Now the powerful verses as translated in English:



Ø  Why do you worry without cause?

Ø  Whom do you fear without reason?

Ø  Who can kill you?  

The soul is neither born, nor does it die.

Ø  Whatever happened, happened for good. Whatever will happen will happen for good. Whatever is happening is happening for good.

You need not have any regrets for the past. You need not worry for the future. The present is happening.

Ø  What will you lose that you cry for? What did you bring with you which you think you have lost? What did you produce, which you think got destroyed?

You did not bring anything! Whatever you have, you received from here. Whatever you have given, you have given it back only here.

Whatever you took, you took it from God and whatever you gave, you gave it to Him.



Ø  You came empty-handed and you will go back empty handed.

Ø  What is yours today belonged to someone else yesterday and will belong to someone else tomorrow.

You are mistakenly enjoying the thought that this thing is yours. It is this false happiness that is the cause of all your sorrows.

Ø  Change is the eternal Law of the Universe:

What you think of death is indeed life.

In one instance you can become a millionaire and in the other instance, you can be steeped in poverty.

Ø  Yours and mine, big and small:

Erase these distinctions from your mind, then everything is yours and you belong to everyone.

Ø  This body is not yours, neither you are of the body.

The body is made up of Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Ether and will disappear back into these elements, but your soul is permanent. So, who are you then?

Ø  Dedicate yourself  to God:

He is there to be ultimately relied upon. Those who know this support are forever free from fear, worry and sorrow.

Ø  Dedicate yourself to the existence of Almighty:

Whatever you do, do it as a dedication to God; this will bring you the tremendous experience of joy, inner peace and freedom.

Ø   Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed.

Ø  You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work.

You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction. Lord Krishna told Arjuna “Do your dharma and perform your karma or your work in this world, Arjuna, as a man established within himself – without selfish attachments, and alike in success and defeat.”

Friends, if we religiously follow these verses, recite OM regularly, we are sure to be strong and face the challenges that are disturbing our lives. Praying for health and peace for all.

As for me, these words have given me a lot of strength and courage to face the uncertainty of the Pandemic , brought me out of the depression and helped me live a peaceful life.

 

Thanks for Reading and Honestly Trying to Implement the same, in your Day to Day Life.

Ageing is inescapable, but it is also a glorious thing, you have done the work, you have learned many of life’s lessons now you can sit back and enjoy life without all that youthful angst and uncertainty. People who are over 60 think they’re old. I’ve heard it said, “You’re only as old as you think you are if you didn’t know when you were born”.

We can experience more happiness, more success, and get even better with age and experience.   I’ve heard stories of 101-year-old runners, 98-year-old yoga instructors, and plenty of other people who reinvent themselves, launch new careers and lead businesses well into their
