SRIKRISHNA (BHAGAVAD GITA)

Ths verse is taken from the Bhagavad Gita, a short Sanskrit work of seven hundred verses that has fascinated and inspired mystics, physicists psychologists, and philosophers of many countries, for three thousand years. Set on a battlefield on the morning before a fierce battle, the gita warfare as a metaphor for our personal battle with the challenges of life.

The gita’s message is simple but profound: our native state is freedom. What we want most from life is to be free of all the mental compulsions that keep us from living in peace with our selves, with others, and with the environment.

This desire for freedom is at the core of our personality, says the Gita, and our failings whether they be insensitivity to the suffering of others, or greed, or anger, or fear - only hide our real nature like dust obscuring the face of a mirror.
