The Essence of Geeta

Why do you worry, Whom or what do you fear, Who can kill or harm you? The soul is never born... nor is it subject to death.

What has happened has happened, and it has happened for some good. What is happening is also for some good, and what will happen, will be also for your good. So, don't repent about the past, neither worry about the future. The present is here, just live it.

What have you lost that you grieve, What did you bring along that you lost, What did you produce or create that has been destroyed? You never brought anything along. Whatever you gained, you gained it from here. Whatever you lost, you lost it here.  You came empty handed, and you will leave empty handed. What is yours today, belonged to someone else before, and will belong to someone else tomorrow, and to another person at some other time. What you take as yours, the material things, relations etc. and feel so contended, those very things and the feeling of contention resulting from such thoughts, are the real cause of your sufferings.

Change is the essence of Life. What you think as Death, is in fact a new beginning in itself, a new life. In one moment you become a millionaire, the next moment you become poor. Remove such thoughts like.... yours & mine, big & small, ours & yours, etc.... then you will see that all belongs to you and you belong to all.

Neither this body is yours nor you belong to this body. It is composed of Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Space and will dissolve into these at your death. Only the soul is eternal, and is a part of that Bigger Soul, we call God.  He who understands this fact of life, is absolved of all fear, worries, sufferings and sorrow.

Whatever you do, just surrender your achievements or failures to God. This way you will experience eternal bliss void of any EGO, desires and sorrows.
