Gita, Quotes - 2011

Love Is The Greatest Reality

5.3 Know that a man of true renunciation is he who craves not nor hates; for he who is above the two contraries soon finds his freedom.

5.7 No work stains a man who is pure, who is in harmony, who is master of his life, whose soul is one with the soul of all. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 5)

balance –> freedom

Balance appears to be a key to success, peace and happiness. When we’re even minded (at peace) our physical brain frequencies hum at a lower rate (alpha). This allows us to receive direct input from Universal Intelligence. That’s where the freedom comes from. We feel at ease, we’re not disturbed and we gain insights from the Creative Source daily!

the one soul

We are all connected at source. The stuff that reality is made of is the same stuff that our souls are made of. The way to connect to that ‘stuff’ is via a restful mind that uncovers the treasure trove of love inside us. That love guides us into understanding and experiencing how we’re all connected. Harmony results.

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM love.

Gita, Quotes - 2010

In Partnership With God

4.24 Who in all his work sees God, he in truth goes unto God: God is his worship, God is his offering…

4.39 He who has faith has wisdom…and he who finds wisdom, soon finds the peace supreme.. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 4)

it’s all god

The stuff that the universe is made of, comes from God. We come from God. When we keep that in mind, we can have God as our constant companion. It’s making this approach a habit that makes it very powerful.

faith leads to peace

When we consciously accept that God moves with us, we are guided, we are safe, we can now leave all outcomes to providence and we can slowly learn to let go… This faith helps us gain a certain peace, and that’s a goal we all seek.

Daily Affirmation: Today I see God in everything.

Gita, Quotes - 2010

How To Live Without Anxiety

4.19 He whose undertakings are free from anxious desire and fanciful thought, whose work is made pure in the fire of wisdom: he is called wise by those who see.

4.20 In whatever work he does such a man in truth has peace: he expects nothing, he relies on nothing, and ever has fullness of joy. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 4)

anxiety filled days

How much anxiety and stress do we tolerate daily? How much of the two are we even aware of? Once we’re aware of why we get depressed and sense the anxiety that engulfs our selves, we’re on our way… Our ‘fanciful’ thoughts about situations, about us and about others are the reason why we keep falling into the emotional thought maelstrom.

expectation is key

What do we expect from others? What do we expect from our day? What about our own selves? We make up ideas about what our life and our day should be like. Often these images get shattered because life doesn’t cooperate with our projected plans. The way to peace is to live in the moment, without any expectations of the future…

Daily Affirmation: Today I just AM, I expect nothing.

Gita, Quotes - 2010

How To Find Peace

4.16 What is work? … I will teach thee the truth of pure work, and this truth shall make thee free.

4.18 The man who in his work finds silence, and who sees that silence is work, this man in truth sees the Light and in all his works finds peace. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 4)

what is work?

This chapter continues its treatise on work, check out the book for more detail, God wants all mankind to understand ‘pure work’. Which is work that is done for the highest good, with no selfish motive and to which we are not attached regardless of the outcome.

peaceful silence

It is also work that engenders the peace ‘that passeth all understanding’. When we know we do ‘pure work’ and that the force of the Universe is behind our efforts, that we never fail, regardless of outcome, then we find a peaceful silence in the eternal now in which we conduct our work.

Daily Affirmation: Today I enjoy peaceful silence as I work…

Gita, Quotes - 2010

God Is Here Now!

4.8 For the salvation of those who are good, for the destruction of evil in men, for the fulfillment of the kingdom of righteousness, I come to this world in the ages that pass. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 4)

through the ages

Contrary to popular belief God never stopped paying attention to us. He and his messengers have been coming to earth to keep the message alive. The message is simple actually and at the same time very powerful.

god is

God created it all. He is ever present in us. His presence in us makes him ever accessible. He’s our forefather. For that reason everyone around us is our sibling. His pre-eminence and his universal family makes up this simple and life changing Truth.

Gita, Quotes - 2010

How To Rise Above…

3.42 … greater than the senses is the mind. Greater than the mind is Buddhi, reason; and greater than reason is He – the Spirit in man and in all.

3.43 Know Him therefore who is above reason; and let his peace give thee peace. Be a warrior and kill desire, the powerful enemy of the soul. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 3)

our world

We live in a manufactured world of our thoughts. It’s the level of our ego. We get ensnared by desires, thinking they’ll satisfy. We get hurt by what others say, as though words can really hurt unless we give them meaning. We seek to control life, and others, thinking that’s the way to safety. But the ego never lets go, unless we do.

a warrior

We’re asked to recognize the real ‘enemy’, which is our ego-driven mind and its desires. We’re asked to rise above this level of mind, by first recognizing that the Spirit resides within us and then attempting to find the peace that comes through identification with that Spirit. Such an embrace is hastened by discerning, self-questioning thoughts and stillness.

Daily Affirmation: Today I rise above my ego.

Gita, Quotes - 2010

God’s Will

3.31 Those who ever follow my doctrine and who have faith, and have a good will, find through pure work their freedom. – The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 3)

god’s way

There’s a better way to do almost anything in life. That better way can be found in divining God’s will for us. The methodology is imperfect but as long as we desire to, God’s way finds its expression in us.

freedom through work

Pure work is selfless work, done largely for the benefit of others. It is also work where the ‘doer’ leaves the outcome of his work to providence. Through such pure work is freedom to be found.

Daily Affirmation: Today I work for God.
