Whenever there is a decline of righteousness, O Arjuna, and the rise of unrighteousness, then I manifest myself.
Quotations
Srimad Bhagavad Gita
He who loves me is made pure; his heart melts in joy. He rises to transcendental consciousness by the rousing of his higher emotional nature. Tears of joy flow from his eyes, his hair stands on end, his heart melts in love. The bliss in that state is so intense that, forgetful of himself and his surroundings, he sometimes weeps profusely, or laughs, or sings, or dances; such a devotee is a purifying influence upon the whole universe.
One who is able to withdraw his senses from sense objects, as the tortoise draws his limbs within the shell, is to be understood as truly situated in knowledge.
This is true knowledge: to seek the Self as the true end of wisdom always. To seek anything else is ignorance.
Having attained human birth, which is an open gateway to Brahmn, one who… remains attached to the ties of the world is not fit to be called human.
By this attitude of complete renunciation you shall be freed from bondage, good and bad, of karma. You shall be liberated, and come to Me.
The Self-realised soul can impart knowledge unto you and when you have thus learned the truth, you will know that all living beings are but a part of Me-and that they are in Me, and are Mine.
Know that all creatures have evolved from this twofold energy, and Brahmn is the origin as well as dissolution of the entire universe.
