Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Chapter 5 Verse 20 Na prahrishhyet priyam praapya n'odvijet praapya chaa'priyam / sthira-buddhir asammuudho brahma-vid.h brahmani sthitah // Established in Brahman, with intellect steady and undeluded, the knower of Brahman, neither rejoices on receiving what is pleasant nor grieves meeting with the unpleasant. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 51 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji Compiled by: Swami Dattananda Bhakti Mala, March 1997 "Established in Brahman, with intellect steady and undeluded, the knower of Brahman, neither rejoices on receiving what is pleasant nor grieves meeting with the unpleasant." The intellect of the ignorant man is deluded. It is unsteady like a weathercock and turns round and round by every gust of wind. But he who is established in Brahman has a steady intellect and is undeluded. The man of steady intellect is the one who has the firm conviction of the existence of the one and the same taintless self in all beings. Such a man is not delighted by getting what is desirable and not dejected by getting what is undesirable. He has realized fully well that dejection and delight and pain and pleasure pertain to the body alone and not to the self. Hence in his case there can be no acquisition of desirable or undesirable objects. Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.
