Gita reflection Ch 8 verses 25 & 26

2nd July 2024

• The six months of Southern Solstice, it is believed to be the path of return for those who have not lived their lives understanding their karma and failed to realize their essential nature as Brahman. 

• Even in those six months, the dark fortnight and nighttime are considered the most inauspicious. The path is characterized by smoke and only the light of the moon, as the earth is far from the Sun. 

• Both the path of the Sun and the path of the Moon are known to be eternal paths. One is the path of no return, and the other is the path of return. 

• The path of return is to be born again only to experience the results of one's own actions and the inherent vasanas which are not exhausted.
