    Dear Vidhi,
    Yes, these verses have to be repeatedly read again and again for us to make out atleast something out of it.
    But do not ever think, this level is beyond our reach. Remember, making a beginning is the first step.
    Thankyou, Vidhi.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Mrs.Chitvish, today only i read this post.
    Nicely explained about Sat, Asat, Sathyam and Mithya.
    I have one doubt--is Asat and Mithya are the same--

    If everybody sees the Essence in all beings--there will be no commotion in this world of conflicts.

    Dear Bhargavi,
    Thanks for joining us here, as usual.
    Yes, asat & mithya refer to the same, that which is "fleeting", so to say !
    Your last line is too true - but we have to go a long way to reach that level !!
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Many thanks for the Sat posts...! I am still trying to comprehend the second verse concerning Sat Asat Satyam and Mithya, as you can see I have a lon...g way to go. However, I am extremely greateful to you for exposing the true facts of life...!

    Dear Gayathri,
    Please take your time to read repeatedly. As I always write, clarity will emerge verry gradually, but surely.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Chithra,
    I must say WOW! This is really a deep verse like u have said , but so full of profound meaning! I enjoyed your explanations on Sat and Asat.....and "I" .....this relationship and meaning if we can hold in our mind all the time, then we will be truly blessed i guess. But Life is not easy and we need to learn a lot from life too to understand the essence of Gita and put it into practise. But i am sure many of us are trying , thanks to your small doses every week, we are at least made to remember the Great Gita!
    I would not have been in the right frame of mind yesterday(athukaarar is sick!) but today felt good reading and it acted as a balm to soothe my overwrought nerves!:hatsoff

    Dear Sudha,
    Athukarar sick? More than anxiety, pampering the right way will be more important - do it dutifully !
    Just read repeatedly & enjoy doing that. That is the correct step at this stage - let us not think, we can understand Gita so easily !
    Thanks for your post, Sudha.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Chith,
    Another superb post! Getting to know more about Gita through your articles.
    Chith, I have read this article about three or four times to absorb the essence written. Not sure if I got it hundred percent. Will read again. I usually discuss with my husband in the evenings and will pass on the knowledge which I gained through your posts. I am also planning to take a note of the pointers from all your Gita articles.

    Thank you so so much!

    With best regards,
    Sindhu

    Dear Sindhu,
    Your FB is most welcome.
    My following lines to Sudha, hold good for you also:
    Just read repeatedly & enjoy doing that. That is the correct step at this stage - let us not think, we can understand Gita so easily !
    Nice to know that you have a "discussion time" & noting down points. I cannot ask for more !
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Mrs C,

    This post was a bit difficult for me to comprehend. But with repeated readings I will
    atleast get some sense of it. Thanks and looking forward for more on gita.
