Gita

Someone very dear to me, wrote this and gave it to me. Although I realise the truth about it, I am far from following this. This is a translation of Bhagwatgita's Chapter 2, Shlokas 62, 63, 64 and 65


For a person thinking of sense objects, there grows an attachment for them, from attachment arises desire, from desire anger, from anger results delusion, rom delusion results confusion of memory, from confusion of memory results destruction of intelligence and from destruction of intelligence, he perishes

But that person of controlled senses, who moves about amidst sense objects with the senses governed by the self and free from attachment and aversion- he attains serenity.

When this serenity is attained, there results the destruction of all his misery, verily, the wisdom o the serene minded one gets steady soon.

For the uncontrolled person, there is no knowledge, nor there is meditation for him, and for the unmeditative person, there is no peace and for one bereft of peace, how can there be happiness
