Gita reflection Ch 3 verses 36 & 37

 2nd April 2024


  • To speak untruth, one must know the truth in the first place. Such is the split within a person, between the one who knows the truth and the one who speaks the opposite.
  • The same goes for sin, where there is a dichotomy between the person who knows it and the one who commits it. What is the cause of this split? 

  • According to Lord Krishna, it is the evil that comes from within and is born out of a lack of Self-knowledge. 
  • This evil expresses itself as desire, which in turn becomes anger when the desired object is denied. 
  • Our worst enemy is within us, and until we conquer our inner evil called desire, we will continue to be consumed by it, life after life.
