Learning the Gita |
|
|
by Swami Radhanandaji 
Studying the Gita is nothing but
learning about God and eventually becoming One with God. To learn about God
means first knowing and then becoming God. That means eradicating self-love, ego,
selfishness, and possessiveness.
This level of humility is essential to
realize that you yourself are God. The process is slow and requires a lot of
practice, but it can be done. It is feasible in this very life and in this very
world. It would be nice if you could go to a secluded place and learn from a
saint. Or, you can stay with your family, fulfill your obligations and learn
along the way. Either way, it requires total dedication, lots of worldly
sacrifices and constant practice.

|
|
Desirelessness or
renunciation does not come for the mere talking about it. It is not attained by
an intellectual feat. It is attainable only by a constant heart-churn.
