Bhagavad Gita is a sacred scripture that is filled with wisdom that can not only change the course of an individual’s life, but also open the doors of Moksha in front of him. Each and every word uttered by Bhagwan Krishna during Mahabharata war contains eternal truths about human life, existence and ultimate liberation from the eternal cycle of life and death. In this article, we will explore 3 powerful lessons from the Gita that we can integrate into our lives in order to align ourselves with our purpose and also for succeeding in all the endeavours that we take up.
1. Lord Krishna About the Power of Belief
Bhagwan gifted Arjuna a key truth about human life through these words:
“Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.”
A fundamental and essential aspect for succeeding in whatever that we do in life is belief. Whether it is the success in our spiritual journey or material pursuits, belief will gift us the strength and will power to strive through adversities. As a matter of fact, a focused mind that believe in its abilities will naturally attract success and the elements that will take him or her towards their goal. Hence, by realising the truth contained in Bhagwan’s words, lets maintain absolute faith in ourselves after orienting our goals towards the greatest good for everyone.
2. Lord Krishna About Swadharma
“It is better to strive in one’s own dharma than to succeed in the dharma of another.”
In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna emphasised the importance following one’s Swadharma numerous times. Bhagwan famously noted that it is better to perform one’s own duty imperfectly than engaging in someone’s else’s duty perfectly. Therefore, devotees should evaluate themselves very deeply and orient their lives around their own purpose in life. Once you set your goals based on your own innate nature or Swabhava, life situations and temperament, plunge into its fulfilment without worrying about the results. These steps are very important for maintaining cosmic order and spiritual development.
3. Lord Krishna About “Eternal Bliss”
“The yogi who is happy within, who rejoices within, and who is illuminated within, becomes fully liberated in the Brahman and attains the supreme eternal bliss.”
Taking care of our internal world and deciding what elements should be allowed entry into it are very important steps for attaining true inner peace and balance. Our mind is an inner cosmos that is directly connected to the Brahman or the ultimate truth of existence. In short, in order to attain Moksha and “supreme eternal bliss”, we have to purify our minds from the depth, liberating it from all kinds of accumulated cravings and aversions. To achieve this, we can engage in meditation. Yogic exercises, asanas and pranayamas will also help us a lot in this journey. Moreover, fulfil your duties as your offerings to the Supreme or Lord Krishna.
May all of us receive the blessings of Bhagwan, thereby liberation from all earthly attachments and bondages.
