W e do not know which weight is worse to bear our conquering them or their conquering us.


quote 5538  | 




M y true being is unborn and changeless. I am the Lord who dwells in every creature. Through the power of my own Maya, I manifest myself in a finite form.


quote 5530  | 





Y ou and I have passed through many births, Arjuna. You have forgotten, but I remember them all.


quote 5519  | 




T he senses are higher than the body, the mind higher than the senses; above the mind is the intellect, and above the intellect is the Atman. Thus, knowing that which is supreme, let the Atman rule the ego. Use your mighty arms to slay the fierce enemy that is selfish desire.


quote 5508  | 




A n ignorant man is lost, faithless, and filled with self-doubt; A soul that harbours doubt has no joy, not in this world or the next.


quote 5503  | 




T he ignorant work for their own profit, Arjuna; the wise work for the welfare of the world, without thought for themselves.


quote 5500  | 




Y ou have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction. Perform work in this world, Arjuna, as a man established within himself – without selfish attachments, and alike in success and defeat. For yoga is perfect evenness of mind.


quote 5480  | 




T hey live in wisdom who see themselves in all and all in them, who have renounced every selfish desire and sense-craving tormenting the heart.


quote 5469  | 




T he meaning of Karma is in the intention. The intention behind action is what matters. Those who are motivated only by desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they are constantly anxious about the results of what they do.


quote 5467  | 




T hey are forever free who renounce all selfish desires and break away from the ego-cage of I, me and mine to be united with the Lord. This is the supreme state. Attain to this, and pass from death to immortality.


quote 5465  | 




W hen meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a lamp in a windless place.


quote 5455  | 




T here are three gates to this self-destructive hell: lust, anger, and greed. Renounce these three.


quote 5443  | 




D evout men who are intent thereon see the spirit seated in themselves; but the senseless, whose minds are unformed, see it not.


quote 5439  | 




W hatever you do, make it an offering to me – the food you eat, the sacrifices you make, the help you give, even your suffering.


quote 5428  | 




H e who is the same to friend and foe, and also in honour and dishonour, who is the same in cold and heat, pleasure and pain, who is wholly free from attachment; To whom praise and blame are equal, who is silent, content with every fortune, home-renouncing, steadfast in mind, and worships Me; that man is dear to me.


quote 5426  | 




H e who has neither delight nor aversion, who neither mourns nor desires, who renounces good and evil fortune, and worships Me, is dear to Me.


quote 5423  | 




T he man who is guileless, pure, upright, unconcerned, free from distress of mind, who renounces every enterprise and worships Me, is dear to Me.


quote 5417  | 




T hose who remember me at the time of death will come to me. Do not doubt this. Whatever occupies the mind at the time of death determines the destination of the dying; always they will tend toward that state of being.


quote 5413  | 




H e whom the world troubles not, and who troubles not the world, who is free from the emotions of joy, wrath, and fear, is dear to Me.


quote 5409  | 




T hose who worship other Gods with faith and devotion also worship me, Arjuna, even if they do not observe the usual forms. I am the object of all worship, its enjoyer and Lord.


quote 5408  | 




H e who hates no single being, is friendly and compassionate, free from self-regard and vanity, the same in good and evil, patient; contented, ever devout, subdued in soul, firm in purpose, fixed on Me in heart and mind, and who worships Me is dear to Me.


quote 5397  | 




T he Lord dwells in the hearts of all creatures and whirls them round upon the wheel of Maya. Run to him for refuge with all your strength, and peace profound will be yours through his grace.


quote 5390  | 




A nd whenever the mind unsteady and restless strays away from the Spirit, let him ever and forever lead it again to the Spirit. Thus joy supreme comes to the Yogi whose heart is still, whose passions are peace, who is pure from sin, who is one with Brahman, with God. The Yogi who pure from sin ever prays in this harmony of soul soon feels the joy of Eternity, the infinite joy of union with God.


quote 5386  | 




W ith a drop of my energy I enter the earth and support all creatures. Through the moon, the vessel of life-giving fluid, I nourish all plants. I enter breathing creatures and dwell within as the life-giving breath. I am the fire in the stomach which digests all food.


quote 5381  |
