Gita, Quotes - 2010

Gita: Real vs. Unreal

1.16 The unreal never is: the Real never is not. This truth indeed has been seen by those who can see the true.

1.20 He is never born, and he never dies. He is in Eternity: he is for evermore. Never-born and eternal, beyond times gone or to come, he does not die when the body dies. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 1)

Arjun the great warrior is perplexed about his duty on the battlefield. ‘Battlefield’ here is also a metaphor for life. He’s face to face with enemies who are his relatives and he’s not sure about engaging them and being the cause of their demise.

krishna

His charioteer is Krishna, the divine personage, whose ‘song’, or ‘Gita’ the Bhagavad Gita truly is! The divine charioteer can also be a metaphor for the ever present divinity inside each soul. Krishna reveals that the soul (our true identity) inside us is eternal. There’s nothing to be truly worried about in life.

No One Answer!

There’s never just one right answer…

And there’s never just one right question. – The Universe

settled philosophy, there isn’t

We’ll be lost if we ever think we know enough, about anything. The Universe and the Creator are infinite, time itself goes on forever, so if we’re to have any kind of a meaningful eternal existence, there better not be an ultimate truth that’s easy to reach and comprehend. Your thoughts?

q & a, plus more

Yes there’s certainly not one answer, to most questions. Questions there are many, that can be asked. In fact depending on the questions asked, the Universe responds. The question we ask determines what we see. The Universe and our existence is designed for continuous growth, discovery and adventure! Life is good, and it’s exciting!! Dream on….

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM asking more than I’m telling.

The Only Prayer!

You need only one prayer to cover every difficulty in life. That prayer is, ‘I pray to see more.’ – Vernon Howard

ultimately safe

Under what circumstances do we pray? And why? Depending on your religious/spiritual belief system you might agree with me that we’re eventually safe. Nothing can harm us from an eternal point of view. Given that, what should we pray for? What can we pray for?

true understanding

I pray to see more…

Wow, what beauty and simplicity! That’s all we can really ask for, true understanding about what’s going on, a larger view point which puts everything into perspective, and more patience as time and events rollout reality itself.

Daily Affirmation: Today I seek greater understanding.
