Gita reflection Ch 2 verses 55 & 56

 6th March 2024


  • There is no direct relationship between fulfilling our desires and achieving happiness, although many people believe that there is. 
  • Our desires are not a path to happiness. In fact, desires are often the result of our imagination projecting happiness onto objects or people. If we examine this idea more closely, we will realize that it is just a fanciful thought with no logical basis.
  • Sometimes, we develop attachments (राग ) towards objects or people due to our imagination or because of habit. When we desire to own or possess something, it can lead to feelings of insecurity or fear (भय ) that we might lose it. This can cause anger (क्रोध ) to arise when obstacles prevent us from obtaining the object of our desire.
  • Self-perfection is a lengthy journey for the soul that has been under the illusion of finding happiness solely from external sources. It would be a miracle to change direction and start seeking it within oneself, and this cannot be achieved without the blessings of the Lord and the Guru.
