Gita reflection Ch 14 verses 18 & 19

15th October 2024


Our thoughts determine our progress. Academic learning provides us with the means to live, while spiritual education gives us a vision of life. It inspires us to aspire to the highest human endeavor, to free ourselves from the sorrows in the present life, and to end the endless cycle of birth and death.

Those who maintain the quality of sattva in their minds reach a higher level of consciousness, both in this life and after death. Their soul can ascend to Satyaloka, the world of illumined souls! 

Those who are primarily Rajasic return to the human world after death, while those who are predominantly Tamasic by nature take on animal life after leaving the human body.

The ultimate 'seer' within us is the Self, which remains unaffected and witnesses the activities created by the three qualities of Nature. Those who remain identified with the Self recognize it as higher than the qualities of Nature and attain Godhood.
