Gita reflection Ch 4 verses 23 & 24

17th April 2024


  • Detachment or dispassion, when not supported by knowledge, will only be a temporary trait. It will be like fasting on religious occasions; it will not have a lasting effect on the mind or body. 
  • Once one realizes the ever-present blissful Self, the interest in worldly gains and pleasures gradually fades away. It's like not having to sing a lullaby to a child who is already fast asleep! 
  • However, a person who keeps their mind on Brahman, the Self in all actions and objects, will tirelessly engage and will not accumulate any bondage. 
  • The famous verse from the Bhagavad-Gita is chanted by Sadhakas just before eating food: "Brahman is the ladle, oblation, fire, and the sacrificer as well. One whose mind is in Brahman while in action, will reach only Brahman!"
