Quote of the Week
"With the exception of actions performed for yagya (enlightenment) this world is in bondage to action. For the sake of yagya, engage in action free from attachment."
Bhagavad-Gita 3.9
Commentary: "Yagya" is any action that facilitates our path to enlightenment or the awareness of our divine union; it is action that leads to freedom, and away from the bondage of action. The performance of any action always results in some form of either: attachment, aversion, or neutrality; yagya is action that promotes a neutral state which is closer to our primeval or original state of creation. To "engage in actions free from attachment or aversion" is to perform actions that engender the awareness of our original state of divinity, our state of being: perfect, Spirit, free! These include the joyful expressions of: meditation, prayer, chanting, service, and anything that reminds us of our true divine nature.

This movie is a metaphor for how to live a divine life in the world of physical reality. The plot is loosely based on the Hindu sacred text the Bhagavad Gita in which Lord Krishna an avatar of the Divine, tutors the warrior-hero Arjuna on Life's purpose and how to best navigate through it. In this case, Bagger Vance played by Will Smith, tutors the nascent golf-hero Juna, played by Matt Damon on how to play and win the game of Life.
Hope to see you there! ☺
