Gita reflection Ch 11 verses 18 & 19

20th August 2024


We have the choice to live a life like everyone else or to live with a purpose that we feel is important as human beings. Arjuna suggests that the only entity worth knowing in this world is the Lord. 

Everything we know in one life does not carry over to the next, except for the knowledge of the Self or God Consciousness, which is about the eternal God.

Understanding Hinduism is not simply a matter of theology; it is about practicing to experience God as part of one's own essence. It is an everlasting science protected by the Lord himself, allowing us to discover his universal presence. 

In the Bhagavad Gita, God is depicted in tangible forms because the real nature of the imperishable One is abstract, beyond description, and incomprehensible. 

Arjuna praises the Lord, saying 'You are without beginning, middle, or end, with infinite strength, countless arms, and the sun and the moon as your eyes, with a mouth like a burning fire, and heating up the Universe with your own radiance.'
