Gita reflection Ch 4 verses 1 & 2

 6th April 2024

• Buying vegetables from the market and cutting them to the required sizes does not, by itself, create a sumptuous lunch. The skill required to cook is entirely different from the preparation.
• Similarly, converting the action karma into the Yoga of action, Karmayoga, does not end the bondage; it only prepares the mind for freedom.
• The ancient knowledge imparted to Arjuna by Lord Krishna is most authentic since it came from the Lord Himself, and He admits that He was present even before creation!
• The eternal Self-knowledge was always imparted to the men of action, who were also the inspiring leaders of society.
• Self-knowledge loses its value when it is passed on by one who has not practiced it. Experience speaks volumes more than expertise.
