Gita reflection Ch 2 verses 17 & 18

 16th February 2024

'The words "Fight, O Son of Bharat" means that it is a religious call to every Hindu to discard his defeatist mentality and face whole-heartedly and sincerely, the situations in every given field of his life at every given moment of his existence.'- Swami Chinmayananda

• Pure existence is 'Real' in philosophy and the same in the Hindu religion is 'God'
• From the religious standpoint, everything that 'exists' is God and therefore, everything is worthy of worship
• From the philosophical standpoint, everything 'exists' eternally and nothing perishes. All changes are only temporary changes of name and form
• No one can 'know' God but feel His presence as eternal 'existence' within oneself. A continuous awareness of this is the sadhana for every seeker.
