Bhagavad Gita is an ancient Hindu scripture that offers invaluable life lessons and guidance on how to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. It is a spiritual text that has revered for centuries for its profound teachings on philosophy, spirituality, and morality.
Our India is always refer to as the ‘land of Avatars’.
Time and again great Avatars have taken birth to uplift the mankind and free it from evil.
Even in times ahead, it is popularly believe that in Kaliyug, Kalki, will be born to save humanity and dharma.
We need to learn the less popular Bhagavad Gita verse 4.9 Janma karma ch me divyameva… in which Lord Krishna said that those who understand the divine nature of their Gurus’ or Avatars’ birth and activities, and who join them to accomplish their divine vision are free from the cycle of rebirths and attain liberation.
Our limiting beliefs make us think of God as a separate entity residing in Vaikuntha or Kailash.
As entire life we see God outside us, we wait for him to help us in our work and fail to recognise our true potential.
Our narrow world view ties us down with our endless desires, thereby creating more lust and greed.
Humans are manifestations of God and the supreme divine dwells inside the hearts of all living creatures.
When you know this, act upon and realise it, you are not different from an ‘Avatar’.
So, go beyond your limiting beliefs, understand your infinite potential and awaken the giant inside you by identifying yourself as one with God,
The almighty whom you believe to have supernatural powers and who can set right anything and everything.
As now-a-days, do you observe adharma, injustice taking place all around you, Are you sitting quietly and helplessly thinking some ‘Avatar’ will come and save you?
The time has come to realise your true potential, the purpose of your birth and restore the lost glory of our Country as a healthy, wealthy and spiritual leader of the world.
Today, we all are like Arjun in Kurukshetra, weak, confuse, self-center, ignorant and helpless in spite of having every potential to defeat the entire army of wick men like Duryodhan.
Shri Krishna enlighten Arjun about his duties and abilities and he became the most timeless and powerful warrior of all times.
Same, if you surrender yourself to a realise spiritual master, he makes you realise your own ‘virat roop’ which is the giant, the superpower within you.
Like Arjun, turn yourself into a devote student, have full faith in your spiritual master and realise the purpose of your birth.
Remember, when you bow down to one person, the world bows down to you.
