Gita reflection Ch 2 verses 45 & 46

 1st March 2024

• The world is a place where we can achieve what we want through work. Knowledge is knowing what to do, but success is possible only when we apply what we know to get what we want.
• Our work is a reflection of our wants. When our wants are few, we tend to work less. Conversely, we can keep working endlessly if we always remain dissatisfied. 
• We can find contentment when we realize that satisfying our ego will only lead to more wants and desires. It is like adding fuel to a fire that will never stop burning.
• To overcome our ego, the Bhagavad Gita advises us to stop feeding it and turn within to discover the ever-content Self. Once we accomplish this, the world can no longer offer us anything.
• A wise man works in the world not to fulfill what he wants or to feed his ego, but simply out of love for God, residing as his own Self, to whom he is forever indebted.
