29) The Beauty Of The Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita tells us in the second chapter:

"When we overcome the confusions of the physical world, we experience a kind of unity with all life, and then peace and clarity follow."

The confusions are the ripplings of the mind.

If we learn to control these ripplings, these disturbances, we can see the beauty of now.

Then we can learn to live in the present moment, without constantly thinking about yesterday or tomorrow.

If we can also learn to interpret the world around us correctly, as simply a result of cause and effect, then we realise that no one is to blame.

All we need to do, is live ethically, love without expectation, give our time generously with no thought of reward, be kind, be compassionate.

If we can do this, we will live a life full of equanimity, joy and happiness.
