Gita reflection Ch 7 verses 11 & 12

  • Only a desireless person can stay firm on noble convictions. The best example is Sri Rama, who could renounce his kingdom with no regrets or hesitation. So too Sri Lakshmana who could serve the Lord in his entire life. 
  • Dharma, or righteousness, is the Lord's glory! Every desire to follow dharma is the stepping stone to reach Him. 
  • The difference between person to person is due to the qualities of the mind that are broadly divided as Sattvic (pure), Rajasic (active), and Tamasic (inactive). These are also the expressions of the Lord Himself.
