Gita reflection Ch 15 verses 11 & 12

25th October 2024


The term "eye of wisdom" is often used in Hindu scriptures, and it is also said to refer to the third eye of Lord Shiva. 

While studying scriptures can provide knowledge, true wisdom comes from self-control and purity of mind. Wisdom lies in being able to see beyond the limitations of the eyes, thoughts and feelings of the mind, and the logic and rationality of the intellect. 

Lord Krishna emphasizes that the wise, who are diligent, can perceive the Self within themselves, while those lacking self-control cannot, even if they are diligent. 

The Self exists within every living being and sustains life in the phenomenal world. Lord Krishna identifies himself with the all-pervading Self, stating that the light in the sun, moon, and fire is a manifestation of His own light.
