Gita reflection Ch 14 verses 24 & 25

18th October 2024


Lord Krishna explains the behavior of an enlightened person who has transcended the qualities of nature. He praises the person's equanimity and dispassion. 

Such a person views worldly happiness and sorrows, criticism and praise, and what is agreeable and disagreeable as equal. He treats a lump of earth, iron, and gold as the same, not attaching any value to them as ordinary people do. 

However, he will recognize that others may value what he does not. He remains unaffected by honor and dishonor and maintains neutrality toward friends and foes.

With no personal interest in worldly gains or the afterlife, he renounces all actions. The wisdom of such a noble soul cannot be imitated but should be emulated by all sincere seekers.
