Glimpse of the Gita

Some really interesting words from the Bhagavad gita:

• To Remain absorbed in Krishna Consciousness
• That Reactions to all actions are burned up when action performed is devoid of sense gratification thus renouncing all material desires, no fruitive action is performed.
• Engaging in devotional service to the lord and abandoning all attachments to results of actions, be satisfied of gain which comes of its own accord.
• To remain steady in both success and failure.
• That work performed should be un-attached to the 3 modes of material nature, ie.mode of goodness, passion and ignorance.
• Acts of sacrifice should never be given up and these should always be performed like - mind control, control over the hearing process, restrained sex life, charity, helping the needy, no meat eating, no alcohol, pranaayam etc.
• That Without sacrifice one cannot live happily on this planet or in this life, what then of the next?
• To Practice remaining in a state of shutting out all external sense objects.
• That Mind is said to be a friend of soul and his enemy as well, one who has conquered his mind, mind will remain his best friend and to such a person happiness and distress, heat and cold, honor and dishonor all are same thus one remains neutral.
