Geeta Gist
1. Duty is not a duty if you desire your profits while doing
social welfare in any way.
2. The river of desires overwhelms the ordinary man without
absorbing anything. The perfect man, however, can absorb it and still not cross
his limits. Arjun! Become like the sea. Sea is knowledgeable. So be it. Arjun=
all of us
3. Basically and more importantly there are two types of people in the world
Mediators, who search for God within themselves. This is the
path of knowledge.
Doers, who Try to attain God through actions.
Both are actions. There is no freedom for action.
4. The ordinary man is prey to temptation. This is the aim
of his awakening. His thoughts are selfish.
But Perfect man's thoughts are selfless. He is beyond
selfishness, hunger, and thirst. He doesn’t think of the fallen fruit but the
tree.
5. The ordinary man needs fuel for his survival in the blue planet. He'll go on
cutting trees till the forest is destroyed. The perfect man thinks of the
importance of forests, about the balance of nature and the relation of forests and
seasons.
6. The perfect man is also interested in solutions that's why we say wise man always goes for solutions. This is
what separates him from an ordinary man.
7. The perfect man doesn’t suppress the senses but controls
them, gives directions to the actions.Wise and perfect man realizes his options. Also, he knows how to
organize them during the time of need.
8. Action is essential for salvation.
9. A person's life becomes valueless if he does not take
part in the life cycle.
10. The desire for the reward is the real obstacle for the
person. It is the real millstone around the neck. Desire to something is the greatest enemy of all. This causes the person reasonable for profit and loss. Life can be
spent in action without desire.
11. We need to realize that Society is not a part of us. We are a part of it. So,
your prime duty is the people's welfare. Actions for the peoples good is your salvation. Selfish action is a sin.
12. Why a man is compelled to sin?
Lust, selfishness, anger, and temptation compels him to do
so. We should recognize these 4 enemies. Desire, anger, and lust cloak
knowledge.
13. The power of the senses is no doubt greater but greater
than that is the mind. But soul> mind. Worry about the soul. Take it beyond
the senses and mind.
14. Why does truth suffer?
Truth suffers when a man cannot avoid temptation. I desire
no reward, so my action is not contaminated.- Lord Krishna
15. after the actions True man does not wait for a reward,
he moves to the next action. The fire of his knowledge burns anger, temptation,
ambition, pain, sorrow, loss which purifies his actions.
karma= ACTIONS
No desire for the fruit of every action (MAKES TRUE AND PERFECT MAN AND ACHIEVE SALVATION)
16. Worship and offerings
Offerings and worships are 4 types
Dravya (dhan)
– Wealth is used for society and the welfare of peoples.
TAPO- When a person makes his actions his penance (TAPASYA).
YOG- Meditation.
GYAN, knowledge-
Knowledge frees the man from temptations and desires.
The world is the realm of your actions. You'll be judged by
your actions. Do not run away from actions. Duty is our religion.
He who has either faith or knowledge, he who is forever in
doubt, is lost all the time. Such a person never becomes happy neither on earth nor in heaven and doubts make him so. We
should get rid of the doubt.
17. Reason for Illusions
His ignorance covers his wisdom.
18. He who can control his ego, mind, and senses will be his
friend. Those who are controlled by the senses they ll become his enemy.
19. Soul never dies
20. We should try to be perfect and wise man and that's the reason for our lives. We shouldn't say that we can't be perfect and do nothing. There are millions of rooms to improve any person. Be wise, therefore.
Good one
