The Bhagavad-Gita

reading this text it is even more epiphanic then woolf.... every page has a new , deeper meaning of what life is and what life has to offer... again i feel that i cant really explain what each part of the sttory means but i know what parts of the text that move me and i really enjoy. again i have to say that i feel blessed to read another piece of literature that moves me in a way that i didnt think possible.

'Sensous objuects fade
when the embodied self abtains from food,
the taste lingers, but it too fades
in the vision of higher truth.'

'Delights from external objects
are wombs of suffering;
in their beginning is their end,
and no wise man delights in them.'

'doomed by his double failure,
is he not like a cloud split apart,
unsettled, deluded on the path
of the infinite spirit?'

'I will teach the deepest nystery
to you since you find no fault;
realizing it with knowledge ad judgement,
you will be free from misfourtune.'

'Do not tremble
or suffer confusion
from seeing
my horrific form;
your fear dispelled,
your mind full of love,
see my form again
as it was.'

'know that passion is emotional,
as the delusion of every embodied self;
it binds one with negligence,
indolence, and sleep. Arjuna.'

'From lucidity knowledge is born;
from passion comes greed;
from dark inertia come negligence,
delusion, and ignorance.'
