I love how the Gita equips us with the tools to recognize when we need to take some action, don't you?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092608110198167323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143245321051269233.post-45610700057521262892013-04-27T18:55:47.096-04:002013-04-27T18:55:47.096-04:00What a beautiful realization Suzy.

As we continue to experience those moments, they serve to inspire us and hopefully one day those moments become minutes, hours, months and years.

We try to fill it so many things, but just like a jigsaw puzzle, there's only one magic piece that fits. :) I love how you also added the fact that we must invite Him in. Beautiful, beautiful insights. Thanks for sharing Martha!

So avoidance of something does not always guarantees that one will become peaceful,and sometimes you have to fight in order to obtain peace. Needless to say the teachings in the Gita have as an objective the achievement of peace.Paul Musuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600894072184098159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143245321051269233.post-86111800292422215322013-04-25T01:29:54.227-04:002013-04-25T01:29:54.227-04:00I think that the realisation that the Lord is the ...I think that the realisation that the Lord is the only way to peace and happiness comes to many but it is only that moment of total surrender to Him that one is filled with His peace.

I've heard it say by many that we are born with a "God hole" in our hearts, a space only He can fill (but, won't force His way in - we must invite Him). Until we stand at His door and knock, our hearts are empty, lonely, and alone.<br />We should never ask, "What's in it for me?" but, "What's in it for God?"<br />Blessings, Vrndavana, and thank you for this inspirational reflection.Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.com
