Gita reflection Ch 6 verses 32 & 33

28th May 2024

• We are always ready to participate in the joys of others, not in sorrows. If at all, it would be only those who are closer to us. 

• Conversely, a Self-realized saint would feel the joys and sorrows of everyone as if they were one's own. This is due to the realization of the Oneness of the Self.

• A natural doubt will arise in anyone who attempts to control the mind as the first step in meditation. Arjuna asked, "The mind is restless, so how will it ever remain steady in the Self?"

• "Deprived of the realization of the universal Self due to the restless mind, one can never obtain the vision of Oneness. The whole process looks far-fetched!"
