Bhagavad Gita or the Song of God

 Bhagavad Gita or the Song of God 



*


The Song of God . In 18 beautiful chants and throughout 700 verses , wherein Arjun, a royal warrior, a kshatriya of the most noblest extraction is asked to go to war against relatives he reveres as most honorable men but that circumstances oppose. In those songs his companion of war , Lord Krishna disguised as an an ordinary horseman guides him through his fears and teaches the honor of duty  Meditation , Dhyana,  the unmistakable characteristics of a noble character .


*



 Action however dire, heartbreaking , soul tearing  it seems if it must be taken must be taken beyond feeling and personal opinion or emotion, knowing desire, Mara is the greatest enemy of the Truth Seeker . One must, inch by inch conquer the empire of the senses then that of the emotions then that of the mind 


*



Ascetic techniques of meditation detachment from the actions and doing them with a pure heart and still mind dedicating them to the Divinity , Yahgya make them irreproachable and activate no karmic retribution nor Strenuous attachment. The book of the Bharati,  with which sadhus, sages, Brahmins, Kings Sages have found the part to illumination(including Swami Vivenakanfa and Mahatma Gandhi) , non attachment and liberation , i.e Moksha freedom from the wheel of rebirths:  samsara

Panum & Otium or the Hefty Lessons of Governance of Self and the Inner Empires

  Panum & Otium or the Hefty Lessons of Governance of Self and the Inner Empires * * A wise king doesn't drink too early, it is said in Lemuel . It's now 10:44 AM . Monday. Day of the Moon so just on the fringe, the limit of the acceptable . So some golden silk of velvety wine to unwind. Bob Marley " Running away" (from what exactly : ascribed purpose? Perhaps) is playing in the background, in the beautiful city of PARIS. Paris , the Muse of so many brilliant artists and minds. *  The intimate knowledge that something has shifted. What exactly ? For the sake of sacred mystery best quiet it . No qualm.  * All is well . The Golden disc is a shining free design of power . Forget the strikes and provocations. A wise man puts his honor in forgetting offenses the wise King of Proverbs advises. Rough lessons of leadership. The One Man Army and Garrison . Sometimes, most of the time:  a rough game. * The human condition , its tightly knit conundrums : 8 billions of human

Reviews (3) : a Triptych

Image
[Reviews January 2024] * Reviews (3) : a triptych  * [Review I] * " Dreamer ", Dave Chappelle  * * With his habitual sharky, snarky , gnarly yet elegantly graceful angle, unmistakable trademark , one of the greatests of our times in stand up comedy history and culture,  Dave Chappelle shows us and reminds us the power of well applied imagination and well incubated dreams . * With extremely well studied mechanics of comic genius, Chappelle plays with our emotions and gets us where it hurts ( and as a defense mechanism we hilariously burst in laughter) yet he does so to help us recover : such is triggered de facto, his healing capacity as one who knows the intimate ails of humankind and in consequence whom he has the knowledge to soothe them.  * Some, it is rightly believed , some (a theory says most of us if not all) have the god given gifts and commissions to help us alleviate the burdens of the human experience and restore us, somehow,  to some wholesomeness for a time howev
