[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

In the conditioned soul the desire to enjoy the fruitive results of work is so deep-rooted that it is very difficult even for the great sages to control such desires, despite great endeavors.

Peacefulness, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, knowledge, wisdom and religiousness--these are the qualities by which the brahmanas work.

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

For sense gratification, a man in the mode of passion wants some honor in society, or in the nation, and he wants to have a happy family, with nice children, wife, and house.

An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with the material senses.

One who is not self-controlled and whose mind is not undisturbed cannot practice meditation.

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

Material nature consists of the three modes--goodness, passion and ignorance. When the living entity comes in contact with nature, he becomes conditioned by these modes.

Nonviolence in politics may be a diplomacy, but it is never a factor or principle.

Knowledge that one is one in quality yet different in quantity is correct transcendental knowledge leading one to become full in himself, having nothing to aspire to or lament over.

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

The highest benefit one can render to human society is relieving one's neighbor from all material problems.

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

Lusty intelligence influences the spirit soul to acquire the false ego and identify itself with matter, and thus with the mind and the senses. The spirit soul becomes addicted to enjoying the material senses and mistakes this as true happiness.

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

He who is satisfied with gain which comes of its own accord, who is free from duality and does not envy, who is steady both in success and failure, is never entangled, although performing actions.

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

The laws of nature do not allow a second beyond what one is destined to enjoy.

Material activities and their results end with the body.

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

Persons who are unknowledgeable falsely identify with gross material consciousness and are full of material designations.

Gradually knowledge will develop to the point of meditation.

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

Those who are situated in the mode of goodness, who neither hate inauspicious work nor are attached to auspicious work, have no doubts about work.

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

without the help of sun, moon and fire, no one can live.

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

The unintelligent cannot understand how things are taking place.
#observation

[Wisdom of Geeta @WisdomGeeta]

When one can see that the various bodies of living entities arise due to the different desires of the individual soul and do not actually belong to the soul itself, one actually sees.
