I’ve been reading the Bhagavad Gita and I already see changes in my life.
Bhagavad Gita : Story Time
I recently started cooking lunch and dinner.
Earlier me and my sister used to order lunch and dinner from restaurants.
But now I cook them.
Although I order the curry and side dishes, I prepare the main staple dish.
I cook rice or rotis. And order vegetable or chicken curry.
And I also know that my psychiatric medication has a big part to play in this.
But I also think the Bhagavad Gita definitely has a part in causing these changes in my life.
I feel more grounded and am sleeping better.
I’m having less problems waking up early or sleeping early.
Religion
The Bhagavad Gita is a Hindu scripture. But I’m not a Hindu, I’m an Adivasi(Saridharam- truth religion).
But I find that reading the Bhagavad Gita helps me a lot.
I can relate to Arjuna from Chapter 1 itself.
Doubts
Sometimes I doubt if indeed the Gita is the word of God. Or whether Gita is true.
And I think it is good to doubt to some extent.
I don’t need to have blind faith. I need to challenge the Gita and experience its truths for myself in real life.
Conclusion
I need to treat it as a manual but the real realisation would only be possible if I act and actually “assemble the parts” or “attain spiritual realisation” or “moksh” by following it.
So yeah I’m reading the Bhagavad Gita and this journey never ends because unless one attains “moksh”, there’s no stopping.
Thank you for reading this line! It means a lot.
