The balance of mind is called Yoga.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
It is true that the mind is restless and difficult to control. But it can be conquered, through regular practice and detachment. Those who lack self-control will find it difficult to progress in meditation; but those who are self-controlled, striving earnestly through the right means, will attain the goal.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
Knowledge, the object of knowledge and the knower are the three factors, which motivate action; the senses, the work, and the doer comprise the threefold basis of action.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
For certain is death for the born... And certain is birth for the dead... Therefore, over the inevitable Thou shouldst not grieve.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes

Bhagavad Gita Quotes
There has never been a time when you and I have not existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist. As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old
age, so too at the time of death he attains another body. The wise are not deluded by these changes.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
Those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation will come to the end of sorrow through meditation.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
Still your mind in me, still yourself in me, and without a doubt, you shall be united with me, Lord of Love, dwelling in your heart.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
Be free from fear. Be fearless and have faith in the divine.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
Not by refraining from action does man attain freedom from action. Not by mere renunciation does he attain supreme perfection.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
As a person abandons worn-out clothes and acquires new ones, so when the body is worn out a new one is acquired by the Self, who lives within.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
Out of compassion, I destroy the darkness of their ignorance. From within them I light the lamp of wisdom and dispel all darkness from their lives. No work stains a man who is pure, who is in harmony, who is master of his life, whose soul is one with the soul of all.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
The happiness which comes from long practice, which leads to the end of suffering, which at first is like poison, but at last like nectar - this kind of happiness arises from the serenity of one's own mind.
Bhagavad Gita Quotes
The knowledge sacrifice is superior to any material sacrifice.

Bhagavad Gita Quotes
The backdrop to the Bhagavad Gita is the battle of Kurukshetra between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Arjuna finds himself reluctantly fighting for the Pandavas against his cousins the Kauravas. Before the start of the battle, Arjuna is a given a choice between having the help of either his beloved friend Krishna or the entire army of Krishna. Without hesitation, Arjuna chose to have Sri Krishna as an adviser, rather than his army. Most of the Bhagavad Gita comprises the discourse that Sri Krishna gave to his disciple Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. The battle becomes a synopsis for life and provides Sri Krishna the opportunity to explain to Arjuna the philosophy of Yoga and Vedanta, in a practical and meaningful way. The Gita begins with Sri Krishna explaining the essence of man is not the body but the immortal soul. On the eve of battle Arjuna is filled with deep misgivings; he feels to kill his relatives and friends would be a great sin. But Sri Krishna replies that Arjuna should not seem himself as the doer. It is only God who gives and takes life away. Furthermore, the death of the body does not harm the soul. As the immortal quote of the Gita runs. “The soul migrates from body to body. Weapons cannot leave it, nor fire consumes it, nor water drenches it, nor wind dries it. This is the soul and this is what is meant by the existence of the soul.” By revealing his universal form, Arjuna views Sri Krishna as not just a friend, but as an Avatar or incarnation of God. It is quite apt to note the English writer Christopher Isherwood would later comment on the Gita as being “like a university lecture delivered by God.” Their relationship changes from good friends to Master and disciple. It is Sri Krishna’s revelations that give the Gita its Divine power. Sanjaya the scribe of the Gita remembered the words of Sri Krishna and this is why the Gita is usually looked upon as śruti or revealed knowledge. Even though technically the Gita is Smrti because it was later remembered and written down by Sanjaya.
