Gita reflection Ch 4 verses 5 & 6

 8th April 2024


  • How much of my own childhood do I remember? I only know about the pranks I played from my parents and elders who witnessed my growth. 
  • Additionally, who knows what I did in my past lives that resulted in who I am today in this human life? Only God knows! 
  • In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna tells Arjuna that he has passed through many lives, just like everyone else. However, while He knows all of his past lives, Arjuna does not. 
  • Our present is the result of our past karma. Krishna, however, was not born due to karma. He chose to descend using His power called maya! While we are mostly dictated by our past, we do have some choices that can change our behavior and actions. 
  • On the other hand, Krishna had complete choice at every moment of His life, despite being seen as human by everyone around Him. He always expressed His Godhood at all times! 
  • We, too, can discover the same by taking His guidance and grace to make intelligent choices in our lives.
