Greetings, my dear friends. This morning, as it is every morning, I read a chapter from The Bhagavad Gita, from the Eknath Easwaran translation. Occasionally, I follow this with a chapter from “Aphorisms of Yoga”, (though not this morning) translated by Shree Purohit Swami. I identify the authors of the translations because both the text and the attending commentary can be widely divergent from one another. I prefer less commentary and greater clarity and I usually find what I'm looking for because I don't stop looking until I do.
Remembering that I offered a less than verbatim extract from The Gita yesterday, and then finding myself reading the source I had extracted it from this very next day, I thought I might offer it for your consideration. If you can grasp what is being said here- and it is not hard to do- you will have all the basic principles and clarifications you will ever need. This chapter hit me with great power during the reading this morning. Sometimes that happens. Lately, it has been happening a lot. The winds of a great and sweeping spiritual change are blowing and growing stronger.
Portions of humanity are being pulled and influenced in several directions. Other portions are confused. Still, other portions are indifferent and altogether uninformed and disinterested regardless. Destinies are being written, altered; everything manifest is subject to change. Now is one of those intense periods of transition and few of us are handling it well. Far more of us have no idea it is even happening. Pray that God may inspire you all to a greater sense of urgency and of promise. God is calling. Answer God in the fashion that appeals to you.
