Gita reflection Ch 2 verses 49 & 50

 3rd March 2024

• 
  The human psyche can be divided into four parts, namely the mind (मनः), the intellect (बुद्धिः), the ego (अहंकारः), and the memory (चित्तं). All four are essentially thoughts, but they differ in their character. 
• The mind is doubtful due to conflicting memories and tends to succumb to the ego's adamancy and arrogance. 
• The intellect, on the other hand, is decisive and has a steady vision of the goal of life, based on its gathered knowledge. 
• The Bhagavad Gita advises us to keep the intellect at the forefront while pursuing all actions. 
• When the Yoga of evenness of the mind is practiced diligently with the guidance of the intellect, instead of the adamant ego or the repetitive memory, it naturally leads to the Yoga of dexterity in action.
