Gita reflection Ch 12 verses 9 & 10

12th September 2024


The path to liberation or God-realization is unique for each person. Each soul's thoughts, feelings, experiences, and knowledge are distinctive. 

Lord Krishna acknowledges the difficulty in focusing the mind on God and suggests practicing conscious repetition of thoughts about God as a way to establish a steady focus. 

He emphasizes that spiritual practice should not be done mindlessly or mechanically and that the main purpose of all rituals is to keep the mind steadily focused on God.

Additionally, he suggests that if one is unable to practice repetition of thoughts on God, then performing actions related to God such as worship and puja can also lead to perfection.
