| Bhagavad Gita |
Bhagavad Gita Summary : Krishna told Arjuna that he is
the seed giving father of all living beings and the form of body of all living
beings. As living beings are born, by the very nature, they get three gunas (Characteristics),
namely goodness (Sattva), Passion (Rajas) and Ignorance/Darkness (Tamas). Every
living being consists of these three gunas. The goodness consists of knowledge,
wisdom and illumination, the Passion consists desire, pleasure, pain,
attachment, etc and the ignorance consists of darkness, madness, cruelty. The
Goodness in a person can overrule passion and ignorance, similarly passion can
overrule the goodness and ignorance, similarly Ignorance can overrule the
goodness and passion, all of these happening at any instance in a living being
life and over a period of time. At the time of death if one mainly consists of
Goodness (over a period of time), then he reaches the heaven and he is born again
in between good rational people, if one consists of passion then he takes birth
again, in between greedy action oriented people and the one consists of
Ignorance goes to hell and born again with the similar people or as animal. The
one who understand all these three characteristics actually drives the living
being, and when he realizes it’s only the supreme god who is creating the
illusion, will stay away from them, by not attaching himself with action and it’s
result, he will not hate happiness or sadness as both are same for him, and
this person reaches the supreme god.
"Our Life: Let us put
few questions before us, is there any time we helped to the one who deserved? Is
there any time we felt really happy and thought, why doesn’t the time stops at
this instance or I can die at this instance? Is there any time really we felt
cheated or betrayed or we tried to give an unwanted feedback on someone? Truly for
most of us, the answer will be yes, it’s nothing but, we travel across the
goodness, passion and ignorance characteristics. When we help, if we
understand the person's condition is improved with that help, it’s goodness,
however if you feel happy for that, maybe we are entering in to Passion, and if
we feel only we can do that then we are ignorant. In a simple action, these
three characteristics can dominate a person. Most of us live in Passion as the
dominant character for us, because that drives us to do actions and makes us
feel happy, sense of achievement, etc... At the same time we become emotional,
sensitive, bring misery, etc... In an Indian common man life , he spends most
of his time in talking on politics, cricket(sports), movies and actors, share
market and land and then new addition is spirituality with meditation (or
health ) for some men/women it’s extended fashion and food & travel.
All of these are passion for us, we talk, we see, we read on all these
and satisfy our mind and sense, which is purely driven by the passion. More
than spending time on self-realization , leave it... We can’t sit quite for an
hour, without television, mobile, radio, or people... We always need
someone/something to satisfy or interact; this is where Passion drives us
mainly. If someone praises us or our action or our achievement, aren't we
happy? Yes, most of us like it... If someone comes and gifts you a wrapped box,
aren't we curious to open and see...Some of the also calculate the worth of the
gift, based on what we gifted for that person and we expect similar or high
return :)... Sometimes we are happy, when the who never listened to us get
punished/facing problems and then we like say to him, see I told you...
sometimes we go and aggressively pray to god, that the other person should get
good punishment for the activity he has done... some of us, also challenge
the other person, that we will teach them a lesson... Who are we? What do we
think we are doing? Good or bad it comes to a person as they act, if someone
deserves they will get... but we can’t dump our mind with ignorance and
darkness, just by showing vengeance... Yes... it’s difficult to
practice... However the more we restraint ourselves in teaching lessons to
others or asking god to go and do action for us, the better it’s for our mind...
Believe no one can go out of the rule here.... whatever we think that some are
enjoying their life , though they don’t deserve it... believe their life is
nothing but full of misery and they live in ignorance....
The life here is not measured by the wealth you have or caste you are born or position you are in... It’s only measured by how close you are with the supreme personality...truly, there shouldn't be any gap between us and him, because we are him and he is Us.... so what do we need here more! And what life could be better than this?!!!!!..."
