18:54 One absorbed in Brahman is full of spiritual joy and no longer laments or desires. Such a person, being equal toward all beings, attains pure devotion for me. 🌸 I am so happy to have completed reading the Bhagavad Gita Talks between the Soul and God. There are times when obstacles get in the way of reading, meditating, chanting; but I must keep moving forward. Sometimes at a different pace, but that's okay. 🌸

17: 14-16 Three Penances Penance of the body is to serve God, the devout, the teacher and superiors, and to be clean, simple, chaste and nonviolent. 🌸 Penance of the voice is to speak what is truthful, pleasing, edifying and gentle, and to recite the scriptures. 🌸 Penance of the mind is peacefulness, simplicity, silence, self-control and purity of heart. 🌸

16:24 Therefore be guided in how to live and what to avoid by learning from sacred books, and live in this world by their teachings. 🌸

15:15 I am seated in everyone's heart. From me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. All sacred books lead to me, their knower and creator. 🌸

14:17 From goodness is born knowledge; from passion comes greed; darkness brings forgetfulness, delusion and ignorance. 14:20 The soul who rises above these three earthly qualities is freed from birth, death, old age and their distresses, and tastes the nectar of eternal life. 🌸

13:18 He is the light of all that shines, beyond the darkness of matter. He is knowledge, the end of knowledge and the goal of knowledge. He dwells in everyone’s heart. 🌸

I have missed some sessions due to life happening over here, but I wanted to say that I really LOVE the REALationship sessions so much. There is a lot of information that I am putting into practice here slowly on my side. I have been with my husband 29 years and many times we are just here. So your 3 Questions to Explore really hit home. Thank you Dhyana and Vira! 🌸

12:13 One who bears no hatred, who is a compassionate friend to all creatures, who is not possessive or selfish, equal in happiness and distress, and forgiving. 🌸

11:8 But you cannot see me with your present eyes, so I give you divine eyes. Behold now my mystic opulence! 🌸

10:9 With minds absorbed in me and lives surrendered to me, they enlighten one another and find deep satisfaction in speaking of me always, tasting transcendental bliss. 🌸

9:29 I am equal to all: I reject none and I favor none. But those who serve me with devotion live in me, and I live in them. 9:32 All those who seek my shelter, whatever their birth, gender, caste or status, attain the supreme destination. 🌸

8:12 Closing the doors of the senses, focusing the mind on the heart and moving the vital force to the top of the head, you are established in yoga. 8:14 For those those who remember me without deviation, Arjuna, constantly serving me with devotion, I am easy to obtain. 🌸

7:8 God is Everywhere I am the taste of water, the light of the sun and moon. I am the syllable Om in the Vedas, the sound in ether, and ability in human beings.🌸

6:30 One who sees me everywhere and sees everything in me, never loses me and is never lost to me. 6:40 A person of faith is not lost in this world or the next. One who does good, my friend, is never overcome by evil. 🌸

5:18 The wise see with equal vision a learned and gentle priest, a cow, an elephant, a dog and an outcaste. The Lord himself is the friend of every creature, dwelling inside their hearts and treating them equally without discrimination. If we can understand this we also will feel friendship toward every being. 🌸

@dhyanamasla This really stood out to me as well. All you have to do is open your heart to receive Krishna’s love.

4:7 Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religion and a rise of materialism, at that time I manifest myself in this world. 4:11 As they seek my shelter, so I reveal to them my love. All beings everywhere are on my path. 🌸

3:31-32 Those who follow this teaching of mine, faithfully and with open hearts, are freed from the bondage of karma. Be assured that those who have no regard for these teachings and do not follow them will be misguided and lost. 🌸

2:48-49 Work with a spirit of detachment, being equal to success or failure. Such evenness of mind is called yoga. Through the practice of yoga, avoid selfish work and surrender yourself to the guidance of inner divine wisdom. Those who seek rewards from work do not find happiness. 🌸

1:44 How terrible that our greed for earthly power should drive us to such sinful deeds as the destruction of our own families. It is no accident that such a desperate and confusing time should be chosen by Krishna for delivering his teaching on how to bring an end to suffering.🌅
