Gita Simplified
Why do you worry
without cause?
Whom do you fear
without reason?
Who can kill you?
The soul is neither
born, nor does it die.
Whatever happened,
happened for the good;
whatever is
happening, is happening for the good;
whatever will happen,
will also happen for the good only.
You need not have any
regrets for the past.
You need not worry
for the future.
The present is
happening...
What did you lose
that you cry about?
What did you bring
with you, which you think you have lost?
What did you produce,
which you think got destroyed?
You did not bring
anything, whatever you have, you received from here.
Whatever you have
given, you have given only here.
Whatever you took,
you took from God.
Whatever you gave,
you gave to Him.
You came empty
handed, you will leave empty handed.
What is yours today,
belonged to someone else yesterday, and will belong to someone else the day
after tomorrow.
You are mistakenly
enjoying the thought that this is yours. It is this false happiness that is the
cause of your sorrows.
Change is the law of
the universe. What you think of as death,is indeed life.
In one instance you
can be a millionaire, and in the other instance you can be steeped in poverty.
Yours and mine, big
& small erase these ideas from your mind.Then everything is yours and you
belong to everyone.This body is not yours,neither are you of the body.The body
is made of fire, water, air, earth andether, and will disappear into these
elements.
But the soul is
permanent - so who are you? Dedicate your being to God.
He is the one to be
ultimately relied upon. Those who know of his support are foreverfree from
fear, worry and sorrow.
Whatever you do, do
it as a dedication to God.
This will bring you
the tremendous experience of joy and life-freedom forever.
