Quote of the Week
Indeed I do not see what could dispel the grief that dries up my senses, though I should obtain an unrivalled and prosperous kingdom on earth and even lordship of the gods.  
Bhagavad-Gita 2.8 

Commentary:  Arjuna, in the previous verse has completely surrendered to Lord Krishna, being unable to find a viable solution to the dilemma between doing his duty as a warrior which would cause him to kill many family and friends, or to shirk his warrior duties because he cannot bring himself to kill his kinsmen, even though they are desirous of gain.  Arjuna hopes that Krishna will find a solution, but he cannot conceive of any victory that would assuage his grief, not even the benefits of a prosperous kingdom on earth and lordship among the gods in Heaven.  So having reconsidered his logic as best he can, he leaves himself totally in the hands of Lord Krishna, just as a child who fell and bruised his nose, looks to his mother for comfort and guidance.  For Lord Krishna, the Creator and Lord of all that is, Arjuna's response presents the perfect opportunity for Him to express the perennial truths about our identity and about the world for Arjuna and for all posterity. 
Yogi Edmond.

Quote of the Week
 Partha!  Yield not to unmanliness, it is unworthy of you.  Shake off this paltry faintheartedness.  Stand up O Scorcher-of-enemies!.
Bhagavad-Gita 2.3 

Commentary:  Lord Krishna addresses Arjuna as Partha the son of Pritha, reminding him of his mother whose name symbolizes her connection to the Earth (Prithivi,) implying that her vast nurturing influence may also be tarnished by his decision not to fight.  At the same time, Krishna boosts Arjuna's confidence by reminding him that his faintheartedness is paltry, small and trifling, and it would be unworthy and unmanly of one who has the title of 'Scorcher-of-enemies.'  This causes Arjuna to begin to reconsider the consequences of his decision; he finds himself between the proverbial rock and a hard place:  If he chooses to fight, he must kill many members of his family, his teachers and friends; but if he chooses not to fight it will bring dishonor to his mother, his family and himself.  In the next few verses Arjuna therefore recounts for Krishna the logic of his decision not to fight.
Yogi Edmond.

Quote of the Week
If you detach yourself from the identification with the body and remain relaxed in and as Consciousness, you will, this very moment, be happy, at peace, free from bondage.
"The Ashtavakra Gita Dialogue" by Ramesh S. Balsekar,
and "Bringing Yoga to Life" page 57, by Donna Farhi 

Commentary:  This quote identifies 'body identification,' i.e. the belief that we are the body, as the cause of our bondage.  Because we believe that we are our bodies, as opposed to having bodies, we become subject to all its whims, wants, and wishes; we are in bondage to it, and it becomes our master.  We invest almost all of our time, effort and energy in trying to satisfy its insatiable and unending desires because we've been fooled into thinking that its needs and desires are identical with ours; this is the deception that substitutes slavery for self service, and the price we pay for this pitiable state is our emancipation, peace, and happiness.  In truth, without this body identification, the roles reverse and the body becomes servant to us, ready, willing and able to serve our every need.  The body in truth is thrall to the mind that identifies with its true identity, the one Consciousness that is the source of all that exists; this is our true identity, primordial divinity, and destiny; this is the only correction we need real-ize (make real) to be free, peaceful, and happy.  We need only relax.  When we relax, we naturally and effortlessly begin to return to our divine, primordial perfection.  Take but one breath in then let it out, and you can feel yourself easily move in the direction of your inner peace.  Wash, rinse, and repeat to remain relaxed in and as the very Consciousness we already are.
Yogi Edmond.

Conversation Night
