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.

Arjuna quotes old scriptures to support his conclusions and his “I’. Krishna had to say Geeta to dissolve his “I” so that he could just be an instrument. Now people quote Geeta to support their conclusions and their “I”.

Deep in the vagrant waters I fail to recognize my own image. but out of the piecemeal surface, too how could you come intact, and whole ?

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

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

Humanity should be our Religion and every Human should be our God, This world should be our Temple and doing good to fellow Humans should be our Prayer. Quran Bible and Bhagwad Geeta all have this message if not just read but also understood properly. Share it, even if one misguided person reads and understands it and gets back to humanity you will for sure be blessed!

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.

सक्ताः कर्मण्यविद्वांसो यथा कुर्वन्ति भारत। कुर्याद्विद्वांस्तथासक्तश्चिकीर्षुर्लोकसंग्रहम्॥ ॥३- २५॥ न बुद्धिभेदं जनयेदज्ञानां कर्मसङ्गिनाम्। जोषयेत्सर्वकर्माणि विद्वान्युक्तः समाचरन्॥ ॥३- २६॥ `Ignorant toil for result; wise – selflessly, Blaze the trail for detached action clearly, For the common weal, path to eternity, For the benefit of the entire humanity.’ 3. 25-26

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.

सभी प्रभु के पुत्र: ममैवांशो जीवलोके जीवभूत: सनातन:। मन: षष्ठानीन्द्रियाणि प्रकृतिस्थानि कर्षति।। (गीता, १५/७) सभी मानव ईश्वर की सन्तान हैं।

Therefore, perform your allotted duty; for action is superior to inaction. Desisting from action, you cannot even maintain your body. (Chapter-III, Shloka- 8)

In the words of the famous tea master Sen no Rikyu, a delicious cup of tea should be served so that it is cooling in summer and warming in winter.

Indeed, certain is death for the born, and certain is birth for the dead; therefore, over the inevitable, you should not grieve.

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.

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)

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. 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. 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

I don't believe in Sadhu,Santh and all..but I believe in our Granth(Bhagwat Geeta).They all bloody Sadhu and Santh utilize this in a wrong way for the money purpose.I believe only this "OM OR I".

I fear, if she would suspect me; but I wish she wouldn’t; for I am her teacher.

Through the lamp of trust, in the floor of heart, we should have fathomed each other.

Beaming or sobbing; friendship is what my heart welcomes, despite being despised.

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

Grasshoppers grow crops never: No hands they have to hold spades; Nor have they harrows to level fields; Only have they long trunks to suck.

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)

Your right is to work only and never to the fruit thereof. Do not consider yourself to be the cause of the fruit of action; nor let your attachment be to inaction.

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)

Therefore, go on efficiently doing your duty at all times without attachment. Doing work without attachment man attains the Supreme. (Chapter III, Shloka- 19)

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.

The callous walls you have raised are going to collapse under your very eyes.

Contrary to Le Corbusier’s adage of modern architecture, a traditional Japanese house is not simply a “machine to live in,” but a home for the soul.

I lost myself trying to please everyone else. Now I'm losing everyone while I'm discovering myself.

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]

When Bhagwadgeeta was spoken, it was pure and stinging truth. Even Arjuna couldn't digest it until Lord Krishna showed His universal-form. Generation after generation, human beings have diluted it so much that it doesn't sting anymore. It has become like water. Now everyone can give their own colour and flavour to it.

No one can love and no one can hate We're in dark days in this decade Only the doubt and only the fear All are in trouble who can hear !!

My best friend is a recent widow and I’ve been helping her with online dating. Don’t worry, Yash!” Geeta Auntie slapped Yash Uncle’s thigh. “I only have eyes for you.

अतः आत्मज्ञान के लिए मनुष्य को यह निश्चयपूर्वक मानना होगा कि मैं विशुद्ध बोधस्वरूप आत्मा हूँ, तब उसका अज्ञान रूपी अंधकार चाहे जितना घना हो, दूर हो जाएगा। अज्ञान ज्ञान का अभाव ही है।

अज्ञान के कारण मनुष्य की अनेक अपेक्षाएँ होती हैं और उनके पूरी न होने पर उसको दुख होता है। अतः जो मिला है, वह अमूल्य है। उसी में संतोष करके जीना, कृतज्ञ भाव से जीना ही परम सुख है।

केवल यह निश्चय कर लेना है कि मैं संसार नहीं हूँ, संसारी नहीं हूँ, मैं तो आत्मा हूँ। यह आत्मा ही परमानंद का आनंद है, फिर भय-दुख व्याप्त ही नहीं हो सकता। तू ज्ञान ही नहीं, स्वयं ज्ञान है, बोध है। इस आत्मज्ञान से सारे संशय मिट जाएँगे, भ्रम दूर हो जाएगा। संसार के प्रति जो दृष्टि है, वह बदल जाएगी। ज्ञान होने पर इस काल्पनिक भय का अंत हो जाएगा।

अनासक्त पुरुष कर्म करता हुआ परम पद को प्राप्त होता है।

योगः कर्मसु कौशलम्’-अर्थात् योग ही कर्म में कुशलता है। जो योग में स्थित होकर अर्थात् स्थितप्रज्ञ होकर कर्म करता है, वह भी मुक्ति का अधिकारी है।

संसार परिवर्तनशील है, अनित्य है। अध्यात्म में इसी अनित्य को भ्रम कहा है। जो आज है, वह कल नहीं रहेगा। शाश्वत केवल वही चैतन्य आत्म-तत्त्व है।

अतः पाप-पुण्य कर्म में नहीं, आसक्ति में हैं। आसक्ति, राग, द्वेष, ईर्ष्या, बदला लेने की भावना से युक्त जो कर्म किए जाते हैं, वे ही बंधन बनते हैं।

But Geeta had been forged in fire and fire shaped her metal.

दोनों सबसे अलग साथ निकल गये, सर्दी की गुनगुनी दोपहर में बाजार से होते हुए वो घर के रास्ते में थे, नभ ने जब देखा कि आस पास ज्‍यादा लोग नहीं है तो वो रुक गया। धारा हैरानी से पीछे मुड़कर नभ को देखने लगी। नभ मुस्‍कुरा रहा था थोड़ा घबराया-सा भी लग रहा था, धारा उसके पास गई और इशारे से पूछा कि वो क्‍यों रुका बात क्‍या है? नभ ने घबराई हुई आवाज में धीरे से कहा, “धारा मुझे कुछ जरूरी बात करनी है तुमसे, सुबह से सोच रहा था कैसे कहूं?” धारा ने कहा, “हां कहो ना, इतना डर क्‍यों रहे हो? नभ ने अपने बैग से एक कार्ड और एक छोटा-सा सफेद टेडी बियर निकाला और धारा की तरफ बढ़ा दिया धारा देखकर हैरान थी उसने पूछा, “ये क्या है? आज तो मेरा बर्थडे भी नहीं, तो ये किसलिये नभ?” नभ ने बड़ी मासूमियत से घबराते हुए, नजरें चुराते हुए कहा, “धारा, क्‍या तुम मेरी गर्लफ्रेंड बनोगी ?” - Geeta Sharma, Pyar Mujhse jo kiya Tumne

हम अपनी जिंदगी का सबसे बड़ा राज़ उसे ही बता पाते हैं जो हमारे सबसे करीब होता है। जिस पर खुद से ज्‍यादा भरोसा होता है। दोस्‍तों के लिये राज़ को राज़ रखना कोई बड़ी बात नहीं होती।

मैं जानता हूं तुम मुझसे खुश नहीं हो पर जानता हूं एक दिन तो आएगा जब मैं भी तुम्हारे लिये सब कुछ बन जाऊंगा जैसे तुम हो मेरे लिये, जानता हूं धारा मुझे यहां अचानक देखकर तुम शॉक हो, शायद यही मेरी गलती है बिना वजह यूं ही टपक जाता हूं तुम्हारी लाइफ में, पर पता नहीं क्यों इतनी बार दूर जाने के बाद भी तुमसे अलग नहीं हो पाता...." - 'प्‍यार मुझसे जो किया तुमने' गीता शर्मा

This fundamental truth that is very well-known and easily comprehended by all, is in the language of the Geeta a simple statement: “If success you seek, then never strive with a mind dissipated with anxieties and fears about the fruits.” In this connection it is very interesting to dissect carefully and discover exactly what the shastra means when it says; ‘fruits-of-action’. In fact the reward of an action – when we understand it properly – is not anything different from the action itself. An action done in the PRESENT when is conditioned by a FUTURE-time appears as the fruit-of-action. In fact, the action ends or fulfils itself only in its reaction, and the reaction is not anything different from the action.

बुद्ध कहते हैं कि अपना प्रकाश स्वयं बनो, दूसरों के दीपक से काम नहीं चलेगा।

समस्त भूत-सृष्टि, इंद्रिय, देह आदि उस चैतन्य आत्मा के विकार हैं। जब इनको चैतन्य से भिन्न देखा जाएगा, उसी क्षण मनुष्य बंधन से मुक्त होकर अपने स्वरूप में स्थित हो जाएगा।

बंधन से मुक्ति के लिए केवल दृष्टि-परिवर्तन करना है। वस्तु को अपने स्वरूप में देखना ही ज्ञान है।

अंत में आत्मा, ईश्वर आदि के भी त्याग से ही मुक्ति होती है। महात्मा बुद्ध ने भी आत्मा को असत्य कहा है।

मनुष्य की तृष्णा ही उसका संसार है।

सृष्टि के समस्त कार्यों का संचालन प्रकृतिजन्य है। उस चैतन्य की उपस्थिति मात्र से ही सब होता है। इस प्रकार जो व्यक्ति आत्मज्ञान को उपलब्ध हो गया, वह अपने को प्रकृतिजन्य समस्त कर्मों से ऊपर चैतन्य आत्मा मानकर निर्विकार और क्लेश-रहित होकर सुखपूर्वक ही शांति को उपलब्ध होता है।

भाग्य में जैसा लिखा है वैसा ही होगा आदि धारणाएँ भारतीय धर्म का अंग हैं। इससे जीवन में कोई तनाव, अशांति नहीं है। भौतिक सुख-समृद्धि के अभाव में भी वह प्रसन्नचित्त रहता है।

विपत्ति और संपत्ति दैव योग से ही समय पर आती हैं। जिस ज्ञानी को ऐसा निश्चय हो जाता है, वह सदा संतुष्ट एवं स्वस्थेंद्रिय रहता है। वह न किसी की कामना करता है, न अप्राप्त अथवा वस्तु के नष्ट हो जाने पर शोक ही करता है। वह हमेशा मानसिक तनावों से बचा रहता है।

जहाँ अहंकार है वहीं कर्ता भाव है, वहीं फलाकांक्षा एवं चिंता होगी। जहाँ चिंता है वहीं दुख है।

जो ईश्वर की सत्ता में ही विश्वास नहीं रखते, उनका जीवन अनेक प्रकार की कुंठाओं से ग्रस्त रहता है। अतः मानसिक संतुलन को बनाए रखने के लिए ईश्वर की ऐसी धारणा अत्यंत महत्त्वपूर्ण है। ईश्वर है या नहीं, यह इतना महत्त्वपूर्ण नहीं है जितना उसका मानना महत्त्वपूर्ण है।

अज्ञानी शरीरों को देखता है, पदार्थों को देखता है, इसलिए उसे भिन्नताएँ दिखाई देती हैं; किंतु ज्ञानी इस संपूर्ण सृष्टि के मूल तत्त्व ब्रह्म को, आत्मा को देखता है-जिससे इस सृष्टि का अस्तित्व है-इसलिए उसे इस संपूर्ण सृष्टि में एकता दिखाई देती है।

यह सृष्टि मेरी नहीं बल्कि मैं ही सृष्टि हूँ, मेरे से भिन्न कुछ है ही नहीं, ऐसा व्यक्ति निर्विकल्प हो जाता है, शांत एवं शुद्ध हो जाता है। ऐसा व्यक्ति प्राप्य से न तो मोह करता है, न अप्राप्य की चिंता। वह दोनों से सर्वथा मुक्त हो जाता है। यही ज्ञानी की स्थिति है, यही मुक्ति है।

सृष्टि अपने नियमों से चलती है। वह हर मनुष्य के सुख-दुख की चिंता नहीं करती। मनुष्य अपने को उन नियमों के अनुकूल बनाकर सुखी हो सकता है।

आत्मा का केवल अनुभव होता है, ज्ञान होता है, बोध होता है।

आत्मा तो सदा उपलब्ध है, जागकर देखना मात्र है। दृष्टि पर्याप्त है, क्रिया आवश्यक नहीं है।

निष्कर्म का अर्थ है-कर्ता का अभाव। कर्म को छोड़ना, कर्म का अभाव या निक्रियता निष्कर्म नहीं है। जहाँ कर्म के पीछे उद्देश्य फलाकांक्षा नहीं है, वही निष्कर्म है। निष्कर्म अपेक्षा-रहित होता है।

माँगना संसार है, नहीं माँगना साधना है।
