instructions on Yoga, devotion, Vedanta and action. It is a marvellous
book, profound in thought and sublime in heights of vision. It brings
peace and solace to souls that are afflicted by the three fires of
mortal existence, namely, afflictions caused by one’s own body, those
caused by beings around one, and those caused by the gods." </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> "The <i>Gita </i>is not merely a book or
just a scripture. It is a living voice carrying an eternally
indispensable and vital message to mankind. Its verses embody words of
wisdom coming from the infinite ocean of knowledge, the Absolute
Itself."</p>
"The <i>Gita </i>is a source of power and wisdom. It strengthens you
when you are weak, and inspires you when you feel<br>
dejected and feeble.
It teaches you to embrace righteousness and to resist unrighteousness."

Knowledge<br>
</b><i>Jijnasa </i>means thirst for knowledge, a desire for
knowledge. Our ancients were men of <i>brahma-jnana </i>(direct
knowledge of Brahman). They were <i>brahma-jnanis</i>,<i> atma-jnanis</i>,<i>
</i>they had knowledge. Modern scientists, physicists,
mathematicians, nuclear physicists, they also have knowledge. They are
also <i>jnanis</i>.<i> </i>But then, what is the difference?
<p>Our ancient <i>jnanis </i>realised the oneness of all
existence, that life is one: <i>Isavasyamidam sarvam yat kimcha
jagatyam jagat </i>(All this, whatsoever in this universe moves (or
moves not) is indwelt by the Lord). Therefore, to harm anyone is to
harm yourself. Recognising this oneness of life, the immanence of the
one hidden Spirit in all things that exist, they realised the sanctity
of all life. So they declared <i>ahimsa paramo dharmah </i>(non-violence
is the highest duty). Not to injure anyone, not to harm anyone, not to
hurt anyone, is the supreme good, supreme law. And therefore their
prayer was <i>lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu </i>(may all beings be
happy), <i>sarvesham svastir-bhavatu </i>
(may auspiciousness befall all beings). And they lived in order to
fulfil this prayer <i>sarvabhutahiteratah </i>(engaged in the welfare
of all beings)—living only to constantly work for the good of all, the
happiness of all, the auspiciousness and blessedness of all. They lived
to benefit life around them. Their life, therefore, was a source of <i>satyam</i>,<i>
sivam</i>,<i> sundaram</i>—all that is true, all that is good and
auspicious, all that is beautiful—to life around them.- Swami
