- Religion
Religion, real religion, is ancient and older than time itself, yet ever new.
Religion needs no name. Love God, Serve All - that is Religion.
If a religion creates a division, then that religion is a fracture!
- Inspiration
The Lord has promised to look after us when we constantly think of Him.
How does He do that?
By inspiring others to do their duty.
One man's duty is another's pleasure and security.
- God
Even the descriptions of souls taking the paths of Light and Darkness may refer to Satva - purity and Tamas - inertia. The presence of fire is noticed by its own light - the Presence of God is realised in His own Light - Satva.
Though the Jiva is God, in Tamas it forgets God - smoke will make even the man who made fire close his eyes - electric shock will kill the inventor himself.
- Trick
A blind suitor to a beautiful girl wanted to prove he could see well and so stuck a needle on a tree and pretended he could see it. He went to the tree, got back the needle.
But in his excitement and hurry, while returning, tripped over a cow - thus revealing to the girl that his eye sight was defective and that the needle business was a pre-arranged trick.
- Control
To control the mind is comparatively easy.
Fear of hell, the police, bad name, etc., keep us away from evil action.
But control of emotion is much more difficult.
Gita tells us how to convert all our emotion into devotion.
