Gita reflection Ch 4 verses 31 & 32

 21st April 2024


  • In the Sanatana Dharma culture, food offered to God is called prasad. When food is touched with divinity, it becomes holy. 
  • Similarly, a song becomes a bhajan, water becomes teertham, a place becomes a pilgrimage, and an action becomes seva when touched by the divine.
  • If one mindlessly indulges in passion without recognizing the divinity in all, even this world or life is incomplete for them, and there is no hope of a higher world for them.
  • All religious sacrifices are actions that, though performed with reverence, will bring only limited results. Anything caused by something is subject to end. 
  • Only by knowing the limitation of action and results, one gains true dispassion in all worldly pursuits.
