how one man changed himself to change the world

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In these verses from the Bhagavad Gita, which is set on a battlefield 

representing the human heart, a warrior prince named Arjuna,

who represents you and me, asks Sri Krishna, the Lord within, how

one can recognize a person who is aware or God in each moment

or his life. 

The reply is:

 

They live in wisdom who see themselves in all and all in them,

whose love for the Lord of Love has consumed every selfish desire

and sense craving tormenting the heart. Not agitated by grief or

hankering after pleasure, they live free from lust and fear and anger.

Fettered no more by selfish attachments, they are not elated by good

fortune nor depressed by bad.
