Wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita
yat tad agre viṣam iva pariṇāme ’mṛtopamam tat sukhaṁ sāttvikaṁ proktam Ātma-buddhi-prasāda-jam (18:37) That which is like poison at first, but in the end is like nectar, that pleasure is declared to be satvik (pure), born of the purity of one’s own mind due to Self-realization. For more Gita resources, visit The Holy Gita Swami Sharananandaji’s Gita classes are at 10am every Sat and Sunday
Swami Sharanananda ji says
Brahmacharya (student life) is when we learn the rules and regulations of life, how to transact with the world and how to lead a meaningful life. Since learning is the focus, education and discipline are most important at this stage. For More Follow : @ChinmayaMissionChicago
