Guest guest Posted May 15, 2002 Report Share Posted May 15, 2002 Chapter 2 Verse 65 Prasaade sarva-duHkhaanaa.n haanir asy'pajaayate / prasanna-chetaso hy aashu buddhiH paryavatishhThate // When peace is attained, all sorrow is destroyed. For, the intellect of the man whose mind is serene is soon established in firmness. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 11 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji In fact, the Self is free from all feelings of attraction and aversion. In short, there are no feelings or sensations in the Self. The moment you realize the truth that you are the Self, you become free from all miseries. Just imagine that a man takes birth in a rich family. But he does not know the place where the treasure is kept by his parents who are no more alive. So he becomes a beggar and leads a miserable life. But the moment he recollects the place where the wealth is hidden, he immediately becomes rich. He had not lost the wealth. Only he had forgotten about it. In the same way, the moment you realize your immortal nature, you get back all the peace you had before. In fact, you had not lost it. You had only forgotten it for the time being because of your preoccupations with the worldly objects. “When peace is attained, all sorrow is destroyed. For, the intellect of the man whose mind is serene is soon established in firmness” (Chapter 2, Verse 65).
