Gita reflection Ch 5 Verses 22 & 23

8th May 2024


  • Anything that has a beginning must also have an end. Any experience of pleasure that is born out of contact with objects of the senses ultimately leads to sorrow. 
  • Before gaining such pleasure, there is anxiety, and once it's over, there is the sorrow of loss. 
  • This cycle often leads us to repeat the same pleasures, which in turn strengthens our vasanas.
  • True wisdom lies in understanding that nothing is permanent except for the Self.
  • Only those who possess profound wisdom and can withstand the push and pull of desires that arise out of these vasanas, as well as the anguish caused by loss, can be truly happy in this world.
