Two Good Books
It is always a pleasure to give a
message based on either book, the Bhagavatam or the Bhagavad-Gita.
A Zoom call for the morning brought listeners to the world of Vrindavan where
village and tribal women are drawn, like a magnet, to the personality of
Krishna. After all, Krishna literally means “the all attractive one.” So
handsome is He that all eyes are on Him and very little distractions can take
place. There are His looks, His moves and His charisma that somehow bedazzle
the villagers. Depictions of Him in the form of two- or three-dimensional
objects do not actually do justice. We are left to somewhat imagine this
epitome of beauty.
Lust is the word used to describe
the sensations of the women. That trait, found in all of us, can be directed to
the Supreme Male; Mr. Right.
My second message today
references chapter three of the Gita, which emphasizes the importance of
yajna, sacrifice. Actually, you can’t live without it. Sacrifice reaps
benefits. Lack of it leads to temporary alleviation of stress but, in the end,
breeds misery. The sacrifice has an intent to expressed gratitude to the
suppliers of nature. The bounties that are supplied come from the devatas
or demigods; cosmic department heads.
All who listened appreciated that
gratitude is an essential ingredient in leading a happy life. So, let’s get
happy and start expressing thanks.
May the Source be with you!
