Gita reflection Ch 2 verses 57 & 58

 7th March 2024



  • Detachment does not mean indifference. It means remaining undisturbed by the inevitable experiences of life. 
  • Sorrows and joys come to us without our asking for them. Strangely, when we eagerly pursue joy, sorrows start to visit us regularly. 
  • Every coin has two sides - one cannot exist without the other. If we choose to accept one side of the coin, we must acknowledge the other side as well. This is true of both the joys and sorrows of life. 
  • Seeking pleasure through contact with sense objects is not a choice of the senses, but a habit of the restless mind. 
  • True wisdom is achieved by mastering the mind and freeing oneself from the habit of constantly appeasing our sense appetites.
