THE GLORY OF THE GITA: QUOTE OF MAHATMA GANDHI AND ODE TO THE GIA

Image
  THE GLORY OF THE GITA: QUOTE OF MAHATMA GANDHI AND ODE TO THE GIA QUOTE ON THE GITA The Bhagavad-Gita calls on humanity to dedicate body, mind, and soul to pure duty and not to become mental voluptuaries at the mercy of random desires and undisciplined impulses. ~Mahatma Gandhi Ode to the Gita's Humble Way Oh, Gita's whispers, soft and deep, A secret knowledge, secrets keep. Of work we do, with open hand, No thought of gain, across the land. When worries rise, a tangled knot, What's right, what's real, we've clean forgot, The Gita's voice, a guiding star, Shows us the path, no matter how far. So shun no task, however small, Just give your heart, and give your all. With spirit bright, and purpose true, Your duty calls, for me and you. This wisdom flows, a timeless stream, A living truth, a waking dream. It binds us all, in every place, Beyond all bounds, with gentle grace.

Don't be bound by what you hear and say, True knowing blooms when thoughts drift away. When silence reigns, a wonder takes its hold, Before the boundless, stories yet untold. THREE HAUKU Worldly knowledge  That's limited play of words - Alp Namaiv Etat! Our words are finite And, finite is false, woeful Be not slave to words! Awakening dawns When mind's still and quiet – wordless - Wowed by infinite

  WORLDLY CONDITIONING THROUGH DESIRE TO BECOME SOMETHING IS ROOT CAUSE OF FEAR: INSPIRED COUPLETS AND J KRISHNAMURTI QUOTE J Krishnamurti Quote  If we can understand the question and problem of desire then we will understand and be free from fear. ‘I want to be something’ – that is the root of fear. When I want to be something, my wanting to be something and my not being that something creates fear, not only in a narrow sense but in the widest sense. So as long as there is the desire to be something there must be fear. (~J Krishnamurti)  INSPIRED COUPLETS Fear's a thought within your head, From what you hoped or others said. Both boldness, fear, from world's decree, Taught by all you hear and see. Boldness fights the fear inside, The world makes these two side by side. Look as is, be calm and true, Just to be, not to be new.

 A Limerick on 17th century public execution site at Grassmarket in Edinburgh In Grassmarket, a stage once stood, For traitors, bad and understood.
