Some of the words from Bhagavadgeetha.

  • Just as a fire is covered by smoke and a mirror is obscured by dust, just as the embryo rests deep within the womb, wisdom is hidden by selfish desire.

  • Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down when reasoning is destroyed.

  • Little by little, through patience and repeated effort, the mind will become stilled in the Self.


  • For those who wish to climb the mountain of spiritual awareness, the path is selfless work. For those who have attained the summit of union with the Lord, the path is stillness and peace.


  • Those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation, will come to the end of sorrow through meditation.


  • In Karma-yoga no effort is ever lost, and there is no harm. Even a little practice of this discipline protects one from great fear [of birth and death].


  • Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed


  • The senses have been conditioned by attraction to the pleasant and aversion to the unpleasant: a man should not be ruled by them; they are obstacles in his path.


  • This yoga is not possible, for the one who eats too much, or who does not eat at all; who sleeps too much, or who keeps awake.

  • For the one who is moderate in eating, recreation, working, sleeping, and waking, this yoga [of meditation] destroys [all] sorrow.

"Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana"...

One of the best message in Bhagavadgeeta-

If i Rise...Good Lyrics.

Dido and A.R. Rahman – If I Rise Lyrics

In your life, your mad
In your car, your sad
O’ your taller now I’ve found
Hold your fire course
O’ your fallen out
Go and sow your courses

If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
More than it is

If I rise, one more chance
All our dreams, more than this
O’ your taller now I’ve found
Hold your fire course
O’ your fallen out
Go and sow your courses

If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
It’s more than it is

If I thought I wanted more
Get the life more
Just one more call
Though I’ve never lost
Believe I don’t care
Never again

If I rise, they are on my drive
If I believe, it’s more than it is
It’s more than it is

If I thought I wanted more
Get the life more
Just one more call

If I believe, there’s more than this
Anymore than this

Today's learning:

"Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful."
- Swami Vivekananda
