Gita reflection Ch 3 verses 42 & 43

 5th April 2024

• Can we experience the world without our sensory organs? If we lose even one of our senses, we would lose a vital field of experience, making our senses superior to the world of objects. 
• However, when the mind is preoccupied or agitated, even our available senses fail to engage with their usual fields of experience. This makes the mind superior to our senses.
• The well-informed intellect has the ability to reject irrelevant thoughts and engage in other useful thinking. This makes the intellect superior to the mind.
• But what is greater than the intellect? It is Consciousness or the Self and is not a thought, feeling, or sensory activity.
• The practice of meditation involves withdrawing from the usual activities of the senses, mind, and intellect to remain as the Self or Consciousness. This is the ultimate goal to be sought by a Karma Yogi.
