Gita reflection Ch 2 verses 29 & 30

 22nd February 2024



True knowledge makes a man realize that he is "The soul with a body," but now in his ignorance, he thinks that he is a 'body with a soul" - Swami Chinmayananda

  • Knowledge of Vedanta can bring out a major shift in the way humans think
  • It can render our previous knowledge obsolete and reveal our true identity that we never thought of before.
  • After experiencing this shift, one begins to wonder how he lived for so long with such a fundamental misunderstanding.
  • A wise person, who lives and interacts with the same world as anyone else, is often a wonder to others because he is uniquely free from the usual idiosyncrasies of the ego.
