Bhagavat Gita Shloka: Part 5

-
LUST

Chapter 3
Text 37
Shloka: kama esa krodha esa raji guna samudbhavah
             mahasano maha papma viddhy enam iha vairinam

Translation: The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: It is lust only, Arjuna which is born of contact with the material mode of passion and later transformed into wrath and which is the all-devouring sinful enemy of this world.

Text 41
Shloka: tasmat tvam indriyany adau niyamya bharatarsabha
             papmansam prajahi hy enam jnana vijnana nasanam

Translation: Therefore, O Arjuna, best of the Bharatas, in the very beginning curb this great symbol of sin(lust) by regulating the senses, and slay this destroyer of knowledge and self- realization.

Text 43
Shloka: evam buddheh param buddhva samstabhyatmana atmana
             jahi satrum maha baho kama rupam durasadam

Translation: Thus knowing oneself to be transcendental to the material senses, mind, and intelligence, O mighty-armed Arjuna, one should steady the mind by deliberate spiritual intelligence (Krishna consciousness) and thus- by spiritual strength- conquer this insatiable enemy known as lust.


Chapter 5
Text 22
Shloka: ye hi samparsa ja bhoga duhkha yonaye eva te
             ady antavantah kaunteya na tesu ramate budhah

Translation: An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kunti such pleasures have a beginning and an end and so the wise man does not delight in them.


SEEKING PEACE

Chapter 2
Text 66
Shloka: nasti buddhir ayuktasya na cayuktasya bhavana
              na cabhavayatah santir asantasya kutah sukham

Translation: One who is not concerned with the Supreme (in Krishna consciousness) can have neither transcendental intelligence nor a steady mind, without which there is no possibility of peace. And how can there be any happiness without peace?

Text 71
Shloka: vihaya kaman yah sarvan pumanm carati nihsprhah
              nirmamo nirahankarah sa santim adhigacchati

Translation: A person who has given up all desires for sense gratification who lives free from desires, who has given up all sense of proprietorship and is devoid of false ego- he alone can attain retain peace.


Chapter 4
Text 39
Shloka: sraddhaval labhate jnanam tat parah samyatendriyah
             jnanam labdhva param santim acirenadhigacchati

Translation: A faithful man who is dedicated to transcendental knowledge who subdues his senses is eligible to achieve such knowledge and having achieved it he quickly attains the supreme spiritual peace.


Chapter 5
Text 29
Shloka: bhoktaram yajna tapasam sarva loka mahesvaram
              suhrdam sarva bhutanam jnatva jnatva mam santim rcchati

Translation: A person in full consciousness of Me, knowing Me to be the ultimate beneficiary of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods, and the benefactor and well-wisher of all living entities, attains peace from the pangs of material miseries.

                                    Becoming- A Netflix Documentary on Michelle Obama the First Lady of America is a 1 hour 30 min documentary full of accomplishment, proficiency, and growth from her book tour. The book is still on my reading list but I thought to first watch the documentary about her journey and some hardship she faced being the first "Black First lady". The documentary is all about her interviews during her book tour with Ophrah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Jessica Parker, Phoebe, Canon O'Brien, Gayle King, and Stephen Colbert. The interview has also embraced her mother, her brother, husband, and kids some vital people in her life. Mrs. Obama is been seen rounding herself with teenage girls where the girls have the privilege to ask her questions and get inspired by her philosophy on life and moreover on her hardships as a first "Black First lady". She is seen communicat...

I, Me and Myself

Hello I'm Tanisha Mohan Shet  It's a happy quarantined morning and the thought just crossed my mind to write something about me. Well, I thought to do that for my readers. I tried experimenting with a lot of skills during this lockdown to keep me busy like preparing a new dish and posting a video online but that's not what I enjoyed doing, sketching, writing, etc. So thought of writing and creating a blog as that's what kept me interested. I'm not a professional writer. I have just started to be in the flow and I'm just developing the skill and improvising the level for my readers. This quarantine actually made me start this blog which wasn't my thought but I'm loving it. I started with zero knowledge. This blog will be about what mankind wants. This page is going to be motivating and an inspiring kind of page for the readers and would be honored to serve people with it. I have a habit of being a perfectionist in whatever skill I make an...

Saturday 26,2020 This pandemic had really got all of us stuck at home but still people where travelling but that didn't apply for my family as they weren't allowing for a trip or anything so we friends decided to go to one day picnic in Ahmedabad itself which indeed turned out to be a half-day picnic but a worthy on. So it was planned with my ex-office colleagues the Ahmedabad University where are used to work before. So it was Me, Riddhi and Keita we three decided to travel with our two-wheelers in this bone-chilling winter morning to Thol Bird Sanctuary which is around 25 km and take 45 mins to reach and well it was worth getting up at 5am in the morning to watch the most beautiful winter sunrise. While were on the way to Thol there were a herd of camels in the farm and the sight was just splendid to my eyes. Thol is an artificial lake in Mehasan District surrounded with different species of birds, cranes etc and people take a brief walk above the lake on the semi constructed...
