Gita reflection Ch 17 verses 3 & 4

12th November 2024


Our minds typically focus on two main channels. One channel involves our desires and pleasures, while the other is related to our faith. Most people place their faith in either God or in wealth, power, position, fame, etc. 

Faith serves as the driving force behind our enthusiastic engagement in any endeavor, despite facing temporary failures and setbacks. As Lord Krishna asserts, 'A man is what his faith is!'

When our actions fail to produce the desired results, we turn to something higher than ourselves in which we have faith, for help. Those with Sattvic qualities will worship their personal gods, while those with Rajasic qualities will seek help from deities who protect wealth.

Individuals with Tamasic tendencies, such as laziness and sleep, will seek help from evil forces that can influence situations through negative means.
