THE ESSENCE OF GEETA

All that happened, happened for the good. What is happening now is also for the good. Whatever will happen, that too will be for the good. Do not repent over the past. Do not worry about the future and the present will then carry on.

What have you lost that you should weep? What did you bring with you which you have lost? What is it that you produced, which has perished? You did not bring anything whatsoever. Whatever you have, you had it from here, and whatever you have given, you have given from here. Whatever you took, you took from HIM, the ALMIGHTY. Whatever you rendered, you rendered to HIM. You came empty-handed and will go empty-handed. Whatever is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday and will belong to someone else the day after tomorrow. You feel delighted in considering it as your own. Alas! This happiness is the root cause of your agonies.

Change is the Law of the Universe. What you understand as death is in reality life. In a few moments you become a millionaire, and the next moment you become a pauper. let these thoughts of mine and yours; small and big; my own and someone else's be wiped off from your mind. Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone.

Neither is this body yours nor do you belong to the body. The body is constituted of fire, water, air, earth and etheral fluid and it will disappear into these. Only the soul is steady and firm. But are you?

You should surrender yourself to GOD. He is the best anchor, one who knows about this anchor is liberated from fear, anxiety and sorrow forever.
