So good, Meredith. I've read the Gita years ago as part of a yoga course, and looking back now - I wasn't ready to receive its message just yet. Back then I was still looking for an escape, or perfect version of life with no challenges. Now I understand it as you wrote: "It does not ask us to escape life, but to face life’s challenges with dignity and poise". Reading this, and the Vedanta Treatise, have inspired me to pick it back up. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing invaluable philosophies and lessons from the Gita. Brought back many memories while growing up Mom used to translate the shlokas and explain them. Loved reading it!
I love how you threaded this piece with powerful quotes from throughout history, Meredith. Like you, the Gita is a beloved companion and continues to be a teacher to me as I travel this path of life.
This really resonated with me. The Gita has a unique way of offering clarity exactly when the mind feels restless, and I think your writing reflected that beautifully 💛
