Dear ones,

Have we forgotten the pain of others?
Can we accept the sufferings of others?
Do we only think about our personal pain?
Where are we in our pursuit of the Divinity?

Quotes from Abhinava Gupta’s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. Chapter 6.

He who is established in Yoga sees the same atman everywhere. He sees the atman present in all beings and all the beings in the atman. – Verse 30

He, who sees Me everywhere, and sees everything in Me, I am not lost to him nor is he lost to Me. – Verse 31

The Yogin, who is established in unity and worships me who is present in all beings remains united with me, regardless of the circumstances he lives in. – Verse 32

The fully realized Yogin, through the experience of being united with the Lord, realizes his omnipresent nature. As a result of such knowledge, the Yogin remains untouched by activity regardless of the condition in which he lives.

He who sees equally, whether in pleasure or pain, his own self in everything, because it can be compared with his own self, he is deemed the highest Yogin. – Verse 33

The Yogin experiences the pleasure or suffering of all beings as his own. In this verse it is again repeated that one sees the divinity everywhere and therefore one is tuned to the universe.

Is our vision clouded that we cannot see the creation of the Divinity all around us?
Have we forgotten to acknowledge the Cosmic Presence?

Breathe, become aware of the breath, count the breath and you will learn to quieten your mind. Be consistent in your pursuit of breath awareness.

Have faith in yourself and in all sentient beings. You are never alone; the Cosmic Mother is there for you.
