Bhagvad Gita a Must Read Book
"While contemplating on the objects of the senses, one develops attachment to them. Attachment leads to desire, and from desire arises anger. Anger leads to clouding of judgment, which results in bewilderment of the memory. When the memory is bewildered, the intellect gets destroyed; and when the intellect is destroyed, one is ruined."
Bhagvad Gita chapter 2 Verse 62 ,63
************************************************************************************************
No one can write about the greatness of that which encompasses everything...
It answers all questions about life!
That book is Bhagvad Gita, an ancient Indian spiritual treatise.
Its a collection of hymns, each priceless words of wisdom,
Even if one of them is practiced, eternal bliss is guaranteed,
Do read that book I would say, it will change you in a subtle way.
The purpose of human birth,
How to achieve salvation,
How to live perfectly,
Why and how of control over sense organs.
Death and the mystery surrounding it,
Human psychology,
How to handle tragedies,
How to be always happy and blissful.
Why there is disparity in the world?
Why bad times are better than good times?
It talks of this and much more,
List is endless...
Few of its gems I state below
Death is a mere change of cloth, soul moves from one body to another,
Bad days are better than good ones, they dissolve sins and give salvation.
However bad things may be, we have to be good,
bad deeds are punished, no questions asked.
We get back what we give, so should give what we want,
This applies to everything, be it money, help, love or talks.
Thoughts are powerful, thoughts brooded over decides our destiny,
We should have control over sense organs, not dance to their tunes.
When mind is fixed in the present moment, actions are perfect.
Only actions are in our hands not results,
so we should act without thinking of results.
Our actions of past and present birth decides our destiny,
we are the cause no one else!
And the list is endless...
A book of that magnitude cannot be encompassed in a poem,
A read of it is must for every human!
It can change whole perspective of life,
And make you a wiser and happier person.
