The Bhagavad Gita helps me overcome illusions of anger and misunderstanding and more.
Yesterday I was very angry with my sister.
I was feeling angry because she comes to my bedroom and sleeps in it because it’s tidier than her bedroom.
She goes back to her bedroom at night but yesterday I felt very possessive of my bedroom.
So I felt angry even minutes after she went back to her room.
But then I started reading the Bhagavad Gita.
And I read a couple of chapters, and my anger was dispelled fast.
Because when I read the Bhagavad Gita, it reminded me of the real goal of life.
It gave me clarity and I felt balanced and calm.
I also performed some of the psychological and breathing techniques that I learnt from NIMHANS.
And it helped me.
But the Bhagavad Gita was a real help.
My anger and possessiveness were illusions. They were not real. They were born of misunderstanding.
Sometimes I wonder why I didn’t read the Bhagavad Gita earlier.
Because if I had read it earlier, I would not have dropped out of the science stream after school.
But now there’s no point regretting it.
I need to use everything I have and not feel sorry for myself.
It’s never too late to change.
And now that I have the dispeller of all illusions — The Bhagavad Gita, I can relax.
I am thankful I read Bhagavad Gita.
Thank you for reading this line! It means a lot.
