Chapter 5 Lesson 7

My note:
What is the yardstick one uses to gauge whether one is growing spiritually?
In verse 20 of Chapter 5, Krishna answers: “One who does not rejoice when obtaining something pleasant and does not feel perturbed when encountering the unpleasant” (but remains equanimous).

My note:
Tough one is’nt it?

Let us just become aware of how our mind works. The more the pendulum moves towards ‘happiness’ when someone praises us, the same amount does the pendulum move towards despair when they criticize us!

Or when one makes money or loses it.
You may use any situation in its both aspects to experiment.

But supposing you were truly aware of your worth, or realized that everything has a beginning and an ending…would the pendulum move that much, one way and another?

Krishna says that a ‘knower of Brahma lives eternally in identity with Brahma’

My note: Who is the knower of Brahma?
He who delves deep into oneself and realizes ones true Divine nature.
And how does one delve deep?
Krishna replies:
“Through meditation”
