Bhagavada Gita – One of the best lessons to learn

 

In today's otherwise busy world, here is something that I read, that brought a level of perspective rarely achieved.

 

Why do you worry ? Why are you scared ?
Whatever happened, it happened for good.
What is happening, is also happening for good.
Whatever will happen, that too will be for good.
What have you lost for which you weep?
What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
What did you produce, which has perished?
You did not bring anything when you were born.
Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
You came empty handed and you will go the same way.
Don't be remorseful about the past , nor worry about the future. The present is before you .
What is yours today was someone else's yesterday and It would be someone else's the day after. You may think all of yours is for you to keep. This is the main cause of the sorrow.
Change is the nature of life. Remove the thought "Mine and yours" and "Little and big" from your mind. Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone.
Then what are you? surrender yourself to the higher power, the only source of your strength.
He who realizes this will be free from fear, worry and emotion.

Questions around Double Amputee running against world class able-bodies athletes

I was amazed while reading this article earlier today. Amazed at this person who has the gumption and the drive to achieve what is otherwise an impossible task for many - let alone run- many don't attempt to walk if they lose both their legs. Amazed at the sheer hypocrisy of the people who complain about "unfairness". I cant get over the fact that many of the best known sportspeople in the baseball games build their muscles by pumping themselves with harmones - and go on to smash records- and you have people jumping over themselves to wish them well. In that crowd, one man who has taken on his own nemesis & managed to reach a stage where he can at least stand together with the world's best- needs to be acknowledged & respected. I respect him for what he has done! Way to Go.
