Look Within – Talks on the Bhagavad Gita by Swami Venkatesananda.

[Guest guest]

What is important to us in life is the truth – there is nothing

more.

 

If someone comes and asks you about me, what does that show?

 

That what is truth to you is not known to him. Why does he come and ask

you?

 

Because it is not obvious; and what is not obvious may not be true, it

is only an opinion – forget it!

 

If it is true, then I will know, he will know and there is no need even

to ask.

 

So, what is not obvious is perhaps an opinion – keep it to yourself.

 

What is obvious everybody knows, so why must I go about declaring it?

 

So in life, in all our relationships, is it possible for us completely

to ignore all these opinions, fears, and prejudices, and examine each

situation – and in each situation try to look for the truth?

 

If in this manner we are able to search, then we shall discover the

truth concerning God, the truth concerning the world and the truth

concerning oneself.
