Daily living

 Bhagavad gita for daily living

Eknath easwaran 

The Gita is neither philosophy nor theology, metaphysics nor poetry.

 It is a practical manual for daily living in any age, in any religious tradition

this commentary shows how to apply its teachings specifically to the problems facing us in modern life.

Livinghas never seemed more futile. In spite of all our technological advances and material prosperity,

we have no peace of mind and live in fear and anger in the midst of increasing violence. 

We are caught in the lurid dream that the pursuit of pleasure will lead us to joy, the pursuit of profit will lead us to security, 

most of us have no other purpose in life than this driving urge to bring about our own private fulfillment even if it is at the expense of other persons, races, or countries.

The Gita shows us how we can awaken from this dream. 

the underlying Reality of life is called by a simple but very powerful name: advaita, ‘not two.’ 

“You and I are not ‘we’; you and I are One.”Meher Baba

There is no division, no fragmentation in life st all; no matter how much we may appear to differ on the surface;the welfare of each one of us is inseparable from the welfare of all others.
