Dear readers.
I have been reading the Bhagavad Gita of late. I have been thinking about posting my understanding of the lessons it has to offer.
Just as I was going to do so, My friend posted this article on his Facebook Account
I have ( with permission :) ) copied his article, and posted it here for the benefit of the readers and my buildup of articles on my blog.
The article by Vipul is very well written and just could not help but re-post the same.

"Lessons (My takeaways from the 2nd & 3rd session i.e from the 1st & 2nd Chapter) from Bhagavad Geeta :
1. This physical world is all delusion. Do not fret, fear or ruminate… Hold fast to the awareness that you are following a path, the exact path, which you are intended to be following.
2. Choose your path, based on your nature; whether it be Karma yoga (the path of action), jnana yoga (the path of knowledge or wisdom), raja yoga (the path of meditation) or Bhakti yoga (the path of devotion or love)… all path’s lead to divinity. All paths are divine.
3. How you enter truth is irrelevant; whether you call your path Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Islam etc is not important, all paths lead to divinity. If your focus is on right action, action for the greater good, offering this action without attachment, you will arrive in the light. You are light.
4. The importance lies in the letting go, just be. Be. Trust in the Self.
5. Act out of love with no attachment to the outcome.
6. Have Faith in the knowledge of Oneness with the GOD(or any name by which you call the Supreme Being).
7. Simply know that there is so much more, infinitely more, beyond what can be seen, felt, heard by your physical senses.

Thanks Nikhil for sharing my understandings/learnings.Actually there is such a wealth of knowledge in Bhagavad Geeta & many of our ancient scriptures such as Yoga Vasistha,Narad Sutra,Ramayana,Ashtavakra Geeta & so on. Even if all read on of these scriptures with an intentention to understand and are able to apply some of these learnings than our Life shall be a blessing.Recommend each one of you to read Bhagavad Geeta or attend a discourse/course from a master who is living these ideals & not just teaching them such as Rajima ( Sr. AOL Teacher).
