Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Hello All, Reading in my 7 versions in English of the Bhagavad-Gita I find the chief import of verse IX.1 to be that teaching is given to those who are not given to carping, cavilling, hair splitting, who do not demur and who are free from ill-will. Openness is the key rather than automatic rejection, contrariness and cynicism. Naturally it is true that we are often at our most open when the devices and ploys that we normally use are seen to be inadequate to the situation we are in. We are empty and thus fit to recieve. Gratitude to the Master is a way of being full and empty at the same time.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Namaste Sri Michael: Your crip and precise summary of your understanding of Gita Verse IX.1 is quite inspirational. It also demonstrates that we can all get better insights if we read more versions of Gita with the proper perspective. I and other members of the list will gain more with your active participation in the Satsangh with your thoughtful insights and wisdom.
