And I wash my Psyche with the Bhavagad Gita - Henry David Thoreau (Walden)
The Bhavaghad Gita will be the most important read of this year and my adult life for a long time, it taught me this life have always had problems most of which are invariably acquired, proffering also stoic,and resolute solutions that work no matter the turmoil of whatever epoch we find ourselves.
They center around self discipline and having a resolve above all things, According to Pema Chodron, Things never get resolved they form up or fall apart the goal is to have enough room in you to allow it happen, and like the Gita says You must be content in your atman. For the world is entirely for your notice and everything, I mean everything in life ends up in knowledge the only thing
Here some quotes culled from it
What will we do with kingdom or the pleasure of life itself, for whose sake we want the kingdom are gather here in war ready to give their house and their riches, Go ahead and slay!!!
The soul paves through childhood growth and age in the body, Those who know don’t get bewildered by this. What is true cannot be destroyed as the one discard rags the soul discards old body and acquires new ones
Death is inevitable of birth
Aversions are obstacles. Realize the atman, be content in your atman,
You have the right to the action, never the right to the fruit. (My favourite)
Nature drives all beings why should we use restraint Unwavering in intellect content in on own atman Nature is the doer
The yogi is now who is neither pleased nor ish he dissatisfied,
I came into existence Through my own resolution
Detach even from action, performing all action though and only through the body, he doesn't attain the bondage of sin , All action and their fruit end in knowledge
The Yogi Doesn't desire, don’t hate yogi give up attachments
Pleasure from touch have a beginning and end the reason for unhappiness, Control lead to desire and anger
An ascetic performs prescribed action without attachment to the fruit of the action. Stay in a secluded place pacify your atman, and be content in your atman
I am established in indifference these acts cannot tie me down. I preserve them for what been attanin and yet to be attained
These have been slain by me , you will only be the instrument
Satisfied with whatsoever is obtained, to perch alike between criticism and praise without habitation
Sacrifice austerity and donation purify the heart of the learned
All actions are tainted, Natural action cannot lead to sin
This is important for people to have a mind above rituals, Say to hunger and desire,: it just that
Be without desire and filth for the way of the universe is decay. Be focused on your purpose like an ant and never gloat.
Knowledge Is the only thing that matter - mind expansion - supreme peace
Run far from mediocrity and live a life of service and selflessness. If this text is made common place among the young generations of Nigerians, could change and greatly improve the country’s entire mindset in the long run.
