Let us accept the inevitable! – Bhagavad Gita Verses 2.25, 2.26, 2.27

Dear Chith

You have explained very well. Week after week the atma part is getting clearer. we know sometimes grieving is a waste but still that we are so much tuned to that grieving to come out of it becomes very hard at times. But atleast keeping these things in mind helps a lot. Let me accept what I cannot change. But again there arises a confusion which can be changed and which cannot be changed?

Love
Vidhi

 

Dear Chithra,
Another Enlightening post on atma and anatma! Culture posts are becoming need of the hour for obvious reasons.
Your explanation is lucid.
Grieving and about accepting the unavoidable fact, both being the toughest to achieve, I believe at the most understanding of these two makes a start.Realising the "self" is a long journey though atleast for me,i'm sure if i read these posts from you after some years,it's going to help me climb the ladder to find a way to salvation.
Thanks Chithra for showing us the path.

 

Dear C

This is a great consolation post for a grieving person. I understand no loss nor no failure qualifies to be worthy of grief. When we say we should accept that which we cannot change, does the Satya of life and birth whirl the only unchangable fact or every life situation we encounter? Because, if we apply this is to every life situation, then we will not try to change anything and there would be no progress.

I really liked your comparison of our life to a flicker. How very true - an ego-taming fact lucidly said as usual. Also, the word's of Swami Chinmayananda clarifies the point. How very well he has said. Thanks for aptly placing it here for us to read.

Dear Mrs. C,

:wowwhat a lovely post on atma and inevitable. That we should just accept the situations without grieving. so, I am thinking here the choices we make whether if it turns good or bad. we should face the consequences by our choice and not grieve. Is this correct? love, Madhu

 

Dear Chithra,

Thru this post u really led us to Accept the Inevitable. What apt titles u r giving....and loved the simple explanations you are giving for the otherwise complicated verses.
I liked the way u compared atma and anatma to electricity and bulb.....very true and apt!
But all said and done it is Tough.....if we have to stop grieving, then we have to stay unattached. If it is so , why do we have to go thru the different motions and emotions in this world!?:idontgetit: I always felt that if we stay so uninvolved then why bother about all those ACTIONS which cause these grieving...
I know you will lead us to this explanation also which i am sure is in Gita....so will wait patiently. just thought of jotting down my thought processes!
Thanks for the wonderful post and the fbs......
