Gita reflection Ch 5 Verses 14 & 15

4th May 2024


  • We are the architects of our lives. The Self does not participate in what we do, but makes our actions possible by its presence. 
  • The 'doership' and attachment to the results of action do not belong to the Self. It is a mistake of ignorant people who think they are the doers and enjoyers of results. 
  • However, in the transactional reality, God resides in each individual and engages them to act according to their vasanas - the impressions deposited in their psyche. 
  • The sins and merits of actions do not belong to the Self, but to the doer and enjoyer. We can become free of sins and merits by remaining as the Self. 
  • However, deluded by ignorance that apparently covers awareness, we forget the Self and suffer the ups and downs of life.
