Essence of Gita

ot a release today. don't feeling like releasing anything except stress. :-)

Off late, I contemplate a lot. - I keep on asking where am i?. why am i doing this?.
Is this what i want to do?. Things like that?.

I'm feeling better after reading a couple of pages of Gita.

I need to concentrate, got a release this evening

Essence Of Gita

  • Why do you worry without cause? Whom do you fear without reason? Who can kill you? The soul is neither born, nor does it die.
  • Whatever happened, happened for the good; whatever is happening, is happening for the good; whatever will happen, will also happen for the good only. You need not have any regrets for the past. You need not worry for the future. The present is happening...
  • What did you lose that you cry about? 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 only here. Whatever you took, you took from God. Whatever you gave, you gave to him. You came empty handed, you will leave empty handed. What is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday, and will belong to someone else the day after tomorrow. You are mistakenly enjoying the thought that this is yours. It is this false happiness that is the cause of your sorrows.


Lord Krishna in his youth
"Whatever you took, you took from God. Whatever you gave, you gave to him. You came empty handed, you will leave empty handed."
  • Change is the law of the universe. What you think of as death, is indeed life. In one instance you can be a millionaire, and in the other instance you can be steeped in poverty. Yours and mine, big and small - erase these ideas from your mind. Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone.
  • This body is not yours, neither are you of the body. The body is made of fire, water, air, earth and ether, and will disappear into these elements. But the soul is permanent - so who are you?
  • Dedicate your being to God. He is the one to be ultimately relied upon. Those who know of his support are forever free from fear, worry and sorrow.
  • Whatever you do, do it as a dedication to God. This will bring you the tremendous experience of joy and life-freedom forever.

Getting old

Suddenly realised that I'm getting old.
Irregular food and sleeping habits. all the parts on my body hurts.
i don't feel like working at all. I'm sick, really sick.
Wait a min, am i just sick or lazy.
Must admit, its both in equal measure.

I'm 32, unmarried, with very little bank balance.

What i have been doing the last 6 years? feel like have lost 6 years.
achieved very little. Well that's a different story all together.

Off late, I'm thinking marriage, kids, house,... that makes me really
sad. Is this just peer/parental pressure. I am the oldest guy in my team.
Off late, I have made attempts to hide my real age many time when someone
asks my date of birth.

Sick. isn't it?

Well, Right now i just want to improve my health, physique.
then lets see that happens

I'm feeling very tired, i need some rest.

Depressed

Today im feeling extremely depressed. yet another weekend working.
I have been working for the last 3 months without a offday. Im tired.
My mom called me yesterday and told me i have abandoned her.
Its 3 months since i visited my native even though its 100kms away.
It really sucks, Im struck in a rut.
I need to get out of here as soon as i can. too much work.
I need to organise my life, strike a decent balance.

That i can do only if i complete all my current assignments.

That will take another 2 months. ahhh. life is certainly not easy.
