Geeta Quotes

In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagvat Geeta, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial; and I doubt if that philosophy is not to be referred to a previous state of existence, so remote is its sublimity from our conceptions. I lay down the book and go to my well for water, and lo! there I meet the servant of the Bramin, priest of Brahma and Vishnu and Indra, who still sits in his temple on the Ganges reading the Vedas, or dwells at the root of a tree with his crust and water jug. I meet his servant come to draw water for his master, and our buckets as it were grate together in the same well. The pure Walden water is mingled with the sacred water of the Ganges.

Krishna taught in the Bhadavad Gita: ‘karmanyeva-adhikaraste ma phalesu kadachana’, which means, ‘Be active, never be inactive, and don’t react to the outcome of the work.

Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures." Bhagwad Geeta chapter 7 verse 20

Yeah, sure, parental love is primitive, but the love that commits to the sacrifices, that puts their happiness and needs over mine, that does it daily on repeat—that’s a choice.” He squinted in the way Geeta now knew he did while thinking. Words came faster to him when he closed his eyes. “It’s a choice I make. It’s important, for me at least, to recognize that, because when you don’t, resentment creeps in.

There was a Geeta before Ramesh’s hands had found her, and that Geeta was still alive, and even if no one else was interested in knowing her, Geeta was.

During the infinite distance between your center and my perimeter; I feel, a continuous river of faith flowing for ages.

Anyone could sympathize with that scenario—a woman who couldn’t be, in their view, a woman. It was easier to throw pity than to wrap their minds around a woman who preferred it that way. But to Geeta, the actual saddest thing, the real waste, was a woman with children she didn’t want.

मय्यावेश्य मनो ये मां नित्ययुक्ता उपासते। श्रद्धया परयोपेतास्ते मे युक्ततमा मताः॥ ॥१२- २॥ Best but all are those that be, Absorved in My full faith truly, Devote themselves but absolutely, To My worship - ever diligently. 12. 2

The woman ran a business, she alone fed her kids and paid for her daughter's dowry and the wedding to which she'd been denied entry. It was, Geeta felt, just another example of women living within the spaces that others defined.

It wasn't, Geeta mused while walking, so much that women loved their husbands and couldn't live without them. It was that the outside world made life without them utter shit; you needed a man in the house in order to be left in peace.

Geeta suddenly wanted to tell her to retain some pride. To withhold parts of herself because there were plenty of people like her husband waiting to pilfer what they could. It was unlike Geeta, not only to intrude in others’ affairs, but also to offer advice. Advice was a cousin of caring; apathy was Geeta’s mantra.

Geeta did not notice when she'd begun crying. It was humiliating to narrate it all for them like she was announcing her appeal and how much she thought of herself. Opening herself to ridicule with the notion that she, looking as she did, could be the object of lust. She felt not only violated but conceited. Shame coursed through her and she couldn't even look at the others.

It should not be by their architecture, but why not even by their power of abstract thought, that nations should seek to commemorate themselves? How much more admirable the Bhagvat-Geeta than all the ruins of the East! Towers and temples are the luxury of princes. A simple and independent mind does not toil at the bidding of any prince. Genius is not a retainer to any emperor, nor is its material silver, or gold, or marble, except to a trifling extent.

Thus it appears that the sweltering inhabitants of Charleston and New Orleans, of Madras and Bombay and Calcutta, drink at my well. In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagvat–Geeta, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial; and I doubt if that philosophy is not to be referred to a previous state of existence, so remote is its sublimity from our conceptions. I lay down the book and go to my well for water, and lo! there I meet the servant of the Bramin, priest of Brahma and Vishnu and Indra, who still sits in his temple on the Ganges reading the Vedas, or dwells at the root of a tree with his crust and water jug.

With favoring winds it is wafted past the site of the fabulous islands of Atlantis and the Hesperides, makes the periplus of Hanno, and, floating by Ternate and Tidore and the mouth of the Persian Gulf, melts in the tropic gales of the Indian seas, and is landed in ports of which Alexander only heard the names.

सदृशं चेष्टते स्वस्याः प्रकृतेर्ज्ञानवानपि। प्रकृतिं यान्ति भूतानि निग्रहः किं करिष्यति॥ ॥३- ३३॥ इन्द्रियस्येन्द्रियस्यार्थे रागद्वेषौ व्यवस्थितौ। तयोर्न वशमागच्छेत्तौ ह्यस्य परिपन्थिनौ॥ ॥३- ३४॥ `Each is prone to follow his nature, His senses stormed by earthly pleasure, Submit not to them they be your foe, Else you will reap what ever you sow.’ 3. 33-34

My family’s tradition of ‘matching-matching’ names is so obsessive, it’s against the order of nature. When my uncles Anil and Anant married, they took advantage of a heinous custom in Marathi weddings. After the pheras, a dish of uncooked rice is placed before the newlyweds, and whatever name the husband chooses to write in the rice becomes the new name of his wife. Because marriage in our culture is akin to buying a puppy at a pet shop and saying, ‘I am your new owner, and I shall call you Flu y.’ So Anil Adarkar brought home Asha Adarkar (née Kiran), and Anant Adarkar brought home Anita Adarkar (née Geeta). And to complete this picture of divine perfection they named their children Aniket, and Ashwini and Ashleysha, respectively.

Tri-guna appears in discourse of Krishna prominently, To Arjun upon the battlefield of Kurukshetra clearly; That the backdrop for the Bhagwat Gita surely be, All three gunas are held to delude the world clearly: त्रिभिर्गुणमयैर्भावैरेभिः सर्वमिदं जगत्। मोहितं नाभिजानाति मामेभ्यः परमव्ययम्॥ ७.१३॥ tribhirguṇamayairbhāvairebhiḥ sarvamidaṁ jagat | mohitaṁ nābhijānāti māmebhyaḥ paramavyayam || 7.13|| World deluded by these Three Gunas does not know Me: Who beyond these Gunas and imperishable does but be. (7.13)

To mourn the unexpected death Of a thousand fetuses, I fire up the yellow dusk, and watch the time standing motionless.

To wipe darkness off the century, What can be the gifts Brighter than letters ?

Peep through the peep-holes; You will see the light Knocking your door now.

Sri Krishna said: Arjuna, when one thoroughly casts off all cravings of the mind, and is satisfied in the Self through the joy of the Self, he is then called stable of mind. ( Chapter- II, Shloka- 55)

One's own duty, though devoid of merit, is preferable to the duty of another well performed. Even death in the performance of one's own duty brings blessedness; another's duty is fraught with fear. ( Chapter III, Shloka- 35)

Saloni hesitated. “Should we, like, ‘get rid’ of him?” Geeta smacked her forehead. “Why is that always everyone’s go- to? I just want to ‘regular’ get rid of him, not get rid of him.

Those who are satisfied with temporary life, temporary pleasure, and temporary facilities are not to be considered intelligent, at least not according to Bhagavadgeeta. According to the Geeta, one whose brain substance is very small is interested in temporary things. We are eternal, so why should we be interested in temporary things? No one wants a nonpermanent situation.

Head-gear is a seal of protection for the two temple doors – the crown and third eye chakra. Some cultures realized the spiritual significance of this, while others continued the tradition of head-gear, justifying it as work or fashion-related. Nonetheless, whether or not societies have been conscious of the highest purpose of head-gear, throughout history both men and women have embraced the idea of covering the crown and third eye chakra.

This whole beautiful world will end for you the day you die, then why to bother for others, stay selfish stay happy.

St. John the Divine, in his "Revelation," has made Christ Jesus say: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end"—"which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty," [250:3] "the first and the last." [250:4] Hindoo scripture also makes Crishna "the first and the last," "the beginning and the end." We read in the "Geeta," where Crishna is reported to have said: "I myself never was not." [250:5] "Learn that he by whom all things were formed" (meaning himself) "is incorruptible." [250:6] "I am eternity and non-eternity." [250:7] "I am before all things, and the mighty ruler of the universe." [250:8] "I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all things." [250:9]

Quran‬, ‪Bible‬, ‪BhagwadGita‬ are your (as an follower) way of life and not everyone's way of life, so don't force people to change. These Holy books teach you to change yourself (for good) and not others.

श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात्। स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेयः परधर्मो भयावहः॥ ॥३- ३५॥ `Better one’s own duty, be it humble, Than that of another – else you’ll stumble, Better to risk death at the post of duty, Than perils of intrusion on others surely.’ 3. 35

Who knows the entire truth and who can speak about this creation ? What were the causative factors of this creation ? The gods have originated after the creation. Who knows the one from which this world has got created  ?                                   ( 10/129/6 )

When one has understood that all happiness or unhappiness is just a matter of reaction of the sense organs

Gandhi calls the GEETA his mother, and yet he cannot absorb it, because his creed of non-violence conflicts with the grim inevitability of war as seen in the GEETA. So Gandhi finds ways to rationalize the violence of the GEETA: he says the war of Mahabharat is only a metaphor, that it did not actually happen. This war, Gandhi says over and over again, represents the inner war between good and evil that goes on inside a man. The Kurushetra of the GEETA, according to Gandhi, is not a real battlefield located somewhere on this earth, nor is the Mahabharat an actual war. It is not that Krishna incites Arjuna to fight a real Mahabharat, Mahabharat only symbolizes the inner conflict and war of man, and so it is just a parable.

20. He is not born, nor does He ever die; after having been, He again ceases not to be; Unborn, Eternal, Changeless and Ancient, He is not killed when the body is killed.

न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि- न्नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः। अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो- न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे॥२०॥

Perfect morality can be declared and lived up to only by him who has sought to live and discover his real identity with the Self, which is ONE-WITHOUT-A-SECOND, EVERYWHERE, IN ALL BEINGS AND FORMS.

Man awakened to the Self’s Glory is God; God forgetful of His own glory is the deluded man!

When swimmers dive into my memory pool crystal waves rise in hundreds from the blurred water.

Listening to the music of fountain Humming after its melody You must have split the chains You must have left home.

शून्य दृष्टि में ही पूर्ण का आभास छिपा है।

परम तृप्ति की खोज धर्म है। धर्म उस चेतना को उपलब्ध होने का विज्ञान है। संन्यास एवं वैराग्य उसका आरंभ तथा जीवन्मुक्ति उसका अंत है।

काम सबसे शक्तिशाली है। काम से जीवन मिला है। वासना, कामना, सृजन की ऊर्जा ही काम है। यह सृष्टि काम का ही विस्तार है।

प्रीतियुक्त स्त्री और मृत्यु को निकट देखकर भी जिस ज्ञानी का मन अविचल एवं स्वस्थ (शांत) रहता है, उसी को मुक्त कहना चाहिए।

वासना, मोह, ममता, स्वार्थ आदि के कारण संसार के प्रति जो हेय-उपादेय की दृष्टि होती है, वह बदल जाती है। ऐसा ज्ञानी सर्वस्र उपेक्षा भाव से अपने स्वभाव में, अपने में स्वानुशासन से स्वच्छंद जीता है।

साधु विषयों से द्वेष करने के कारण दुखी रहता है एवं संसारी उनमें (विषयों में) लोलुप रहने के कारण

जब चित्त शांत हो जाता है, शून्य हो जाता है तो उसमें विचार, वासना, कामना की तरंगें उठनी बंद हो जाती हैं। यही कैवल्य की स्थिति है। ऐसा व्यक्ति केवल आत्मा में स्थित रहता है।

अष्टावक्रजी सर्वप्रथम उस आत्मा अथवा ब्रह्म को नमस्कार करते हैं, जो एकमात्र है। सृष्टि में उससे भिन्न कुछ भी नहीं है। वह आत्म-स्वरूप शांत है और तेजोमय है।

संसार कल्पना मात्र है। मनुष्य अच्छी-बुरी जैसी कल्पना करता है, संसार उसे वैसा ही दिखाई देता है। कल्पना का नाम मन है।

विचारशून्य होने पर ही उसका ज्ञान होता है। आत्मा निर्विकार है, निर्दोष है, अलिप्त है, सदा उपलब्ध है। वह विस्मृत है। उसे पुनः स्मृति में लाना मात्र है। यह आत्मा मुक्त और सनातन है।

मोह के कारण केवल संसार ही दिखाई देता है, पर मोह हटने पर संसार लुप्त हो जाता है; फिर जो भी दिखाई देगा, वह आत्मा ही है।

अहंकार गिराकर सहज हो जाना ही मार्ग है।

व्यक्ति में उपस्थित चेतना का नाम आत्मा है तथा समष्टिगत चेतना ही ब्रह्म है।

सृष्टि ही परमात्मा है। ऐसा निश्चयपूर्वक वही जानता है, जिसे इसका अनुभव हो गया है। यह स्वयं के भीतर प्रवेश करने से, निःशब्द, शांति, मौन में शून्य होने से ही जाना जा सकता है। जब तुम मिटोगे, तभी परमात्मा है।

सदा ही आत्मा का सर्वस्र अनुभव करता हुआ नित्य आत्मानंद में ही मग्न रहता है। आत्मज्ञानी अहंकार एवं संकल्प-विकल्प से रहित होने पर हर स्थिति में अनाग्रहपूर्वक रहकर स्वाभाविक जीवन जीता है।

मन की अच्छी-बुरी सभी वृत्तियों का शांत हो जाना ही मोक्ष है। सभी भेद समाप्त कर उस एक परम तत्त्व में स्थित हो जाना ही मुक्ति है।

ज्ञानी वासना-रहित हो जाने के कारण संसार को देखता हुआ भी नहीं देखता है। वह नित्य आत्मा को ही सर्वस्र देखता है।

सर्वस्र एक ही ब्रह्म की अनुभूति होती है, फिर कौन किसका चिंतन करे! ज्ञान की यही चरम स्थिति अद्वैत की है।

जो चेतना है, वही उसकी आत्मा है।

इंद्रियों के भोगों से तृप्त हो जाता है, उसे उसमें कोई सार नहीं दिखाई देता, उसे उसमें रस नहीं आता, तब संन्यास का जन्म होता है।

संन्यास संसार के अनुभवों का सार या निचोड़ है, उनकी निष्पत्ति है।

संन्यास लिया नहीं जाता, होता है। यह कार्य नहीं है, अनुभूति है, उत्कृष्ट जीवन की ओर बढ़ा हुआ एक कदम है।

बुद्धिजीवी अनेक प्रकार के विचारों में उलझा रहता है। वह संसार, कर्म, भोग, अध्यात्म, ईश्वर, परमात्मा, आत्मा आदि अनेक विषयों का अध्ययन, चिंतन एवं मनन करता है; किंतु उसे शांति नहीं मिलती।

जिसने संसार को भोगा है तथा जो चिंतन की पराकाष्ठा पर पहुँचा है, वही आत्मज्ञान के फल को प्राप्त करता है।

अहंकार ही मूल पाप है।

मुक्ति के लिए कर्म नहीं छोड़ना है प्रत्युत अहंकार छोड़ना

अहंकार पहले उद्देश्य निश्चित करता है, फिर कर्म में प्रवृत्त होता है। उसे फल चाहिए, जिससे उसकी वासना की तृप्ति हो सके।
