Bhagavad Gita Quote of the Day



The mind acts like an enemy for those who do not control it.

~~~~~~~~

One who has control over the mind is tranquil in heat and cold,

in pleasure and pain,

and in honor and dishonor;

and is ever steadfast with the Supreme Self.

~~~~~~~~

The wise sees knowledge and action as one;

they see truly

~~~~~~~~

You have the power to act only--you do not have the power to influence the result

--therefore you must act without the anticipation of the result--

without succumbing to inaction.

~~~~~~~~

A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place,

and when we expect nothing in return.

~~~~~~~~

The disunited mind is far from wise;

how can it meditate?

How be at peace?

When you know no peace,

how can you know joy?

~~~~~~~~

Man is made by his belief.

As he believes, so he is.

~~~~~~~~

A person is said to have achieved yoga,

the union with the Self,

when the perfectly disciplined mind gets freedom from all desires,

and becomes absorbed in the Self alone.

~~~~~~~~

The mind is restless and difficult to restrain,

but it is subdued by practice.

~~~~~~~~

Little by little,

through patience and repeated effort,

the mind will become stilled in the Self.

~~~~~~~~

People will talk about your disgrace forever.

To the honored, dishonor is worse than death.

~~~~~~~~

There is nothing lost or wasted in this life.

~~~~~~~~

Hell has three gates:

lust,

anger,

and greed.

~~~~~~~~

Fix your mind on Me,

be devoted to Me,

offer service to Me,

bow down to Me,

and you shall certainly reach Me.

I promise you because you are very dear to Me.

~~~~~~~~

Creation is only the projection into form of that which already exists.

~~~~~~~~

One can become whatever one wants to be

[if one constantly contemplates on the object of desire with faith].
