This is a sharing of my learnings from the Gita. This blog has bits of Gita knowledge that I find interesting with application / relevance to daily life. When I am in the uplifted mode I can see Gita principles in many things around me that its my endeavour to pen them down for common good. There are days when I see Gita in maths and in cartoons and so on. So to be able to capture these lovely thoughts and share them, the blog is a great place.

Love & Happiness
You may not buy love or happiness but you may make it while your life flows by.
Love and Happiness are the very essence of life. But are not commodities & services you can buy or barter.
They are the innate most as well as the most natural feelings of human beings.
They say meeting a little baby or a puppy always brings out the aspect of "unconditional love" in all people and makes they joyful. There may be exceptions , but the momentary feeling of giving love makes them smile.
So its all about giving love, which has a never ending source - our very core.
So shower your love where ever you go and make the world a happier place :-)

The U clip, key ring and spirituality
Have you noticed that the U clip - it is open on both ends, its a wire really in a certain shape that has the ability to hold papers together.
Its the shape that enables it to do a job of holding papers together without spoiling the papers & with out an attachment!
Can we relate it to a person leading a way of life in this world that is open ended, not bonded, manages his life in such a way that holds everything and can let go easily and paper bears little impression of him & it looses its grip if used on a thick bunch of paper.
Use the clip too much or mess the shape and it looses its capacity to do the job.

Some one may say what a crooked & convulated wire !!! But its the shape that makes it capable else its a metal wire.
People (including me) often play with and ruin U clips and turn them into a messy piece of wire.
Now think of a key ring...its similar except its circular and made of much harder material and we cant usually meddle with it. Keys can come into the ring and go out with out impacting the ring much. Whilst the keys are in the ring they are together and later no bond & no impression.
The key ring we can relate it to a teacher - does a job and does not get attached and can do the job again and again! Relentlessly.

Square & Circle
As per the formulae
- Square with side A, area is A sq & perimater is 4*A
- Circle with Radius A is 2 Pie A sq & circumfrence is 2 PieA
So if A = 4 and when squared its 16
So a square with a side A with have area 16 Sq and a circle with radius A will have the area 25.12(value of pie being 3.14)
Square is a polygon with 4 sides and the largest circle that will fit inside will be the one with radius = 1/2 A
& the smallest circle that will take the A square inside it will be one with radius of 4.47 (use Pythagoras's theorem) and the area of that circle will be 28.06
Why all this geometry with area et all.
Now just view this from a spiritual angle.
A person if creates a polygon with his potential & square (said to be the perfect polygon). Its area of coverage with be A sq
If the person wants to remove his corners & edges & be round like the Earth or the air bubble , with no beginning & end & no corners, and grow into a circle, the minimum area will be 28.06....
Think about it!!!!!
Think about it!!!!!
Conflicting phrases
White & Black are very definitive in a world with so many distractions & relatives. Imagine a bucket of white paint & a drop of black - results in ripples with shades of grey
Similarly is there a thing "pound of flesh"? Think Merchant of Venice , it always comes with blood.
And for left & right - the heart is on the left and is always right.
And Mona Lisa is the most talked about woman in history of art - and she has no eyebrows??? Is that beauty or deformity!??
And in case of Truth & Dare, does truth need any daring? Its just there.
These are just phrases. They serve a purpose to communicate and not worth an analytical debate. Transient like humans here on Earth for a reason - to serve God & be part of his creation. Not to analyse why me & why not him????

Covered by layers
Think about
1. The onion and its many layers . The cabbage & its layers. The colour & texture of the layers changes as we go in wards or outwards. How the inner leaves of lettuce have a different shape & size & colour
2. Coats of paint of the wall - the fisrt coat on a newly built wall looks patchy & un smooth & what it looks like after a couple of coats. After that put as many coast the change is not visible since the wall's original colour & texture is lost in the layers of paint.
3. Nail paints - the shade looks different after 1st & 2nd coat. But 3 rd onwards the color does not change cause the original nail colour is completely hidden.
Acknowledging the layers, their uniqueness & their impact will change perspective.
Some layers are protective layers - protecting the inside
Some layers are strengthening - like the base coat on a new wall on when doing nails
Some coats give a new look - colours on walls & nails
And some coats just make it look good ...usually the 2nd/3rd coat on nails
And not to forget that top coats are their to only protect & give a shine.
Spiritual awareness makes us aware of our layers that we have around us and sometimes enable us see through the layers of others as well.
