Ask for Blessings on Focus
Today with our regular Gita class via Zoom, every Thursday at 5:55 p.m. EST, we covered in our discussion the first few verses of chapter 7. It is indeed a fine section of The Gita, which encourages the seeker or student to gain a vision of seeing spirit behind everything. As is stated in the second verse, the wisdom that brings you to this vision is complete. There is nothing more to be known because all that is phenomenal in the world regarding matter and spirit and our application is explained.
Not all seekers can capture this wisdom (verse 7.3). Not all go beyond theory. At least all who pursue this wisdom will eventually progress and fall into good fortune of a higher birth and hence work more on their spiritual progress in a more focused manner. That is explained in chapter 6.
I like the example of Arjuna who was, for the most part, a man of conviction. He displayed distraction just prior to the battle of Kuruksetra and also at a time when he was unable to protect the queens of Dwarka. Generally he was a focused person—a straight shooter.
I believe that’s what we all want. We wish to have a dream to fulfill, and then aim straight to reach our target.
When all became very quiet in the night I slipped away and moved on the conviction that I will get some distance in for walking. Yes, it was quiet in the hour I chose. And over a 3 km stretch I crossed paths with only three people.
Let’s stay focused on the goal. Ask for blessings from Arjuna.
May the source be with you!
3 km
