SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 6 Text 7

jitatmanah prasantasya
paramatma samahitah
sitosna-sukha- duhkhesu
tatha manapamanayoh

jita-atmanah- -of one who has conquered his mind; prasantasya- -who has attained tranquillity by such control over the mind; parama-atma- -the Supersoul; samahitah--approach ed completely; sita--in cold; usna--heat; sukha--happiness; duhkhesu--and distress; tatha--also; mana--in honor; apamanayoh-- and dishonor.

TRANSLATION

For one who has conquered the mind, the Supersoul is already reached, for he has attained tranquillity. To such a man happiness and distress, heat and cold, honor and dishonor are all the same.

JOURNAL:

There is a unifying process going on inside of me that is undeniable. As I chant my rounds and strive to live my life by guru and sastra the duality that is life becomes less important. Instead seeing Krishna in everything becomes the goal. I cannot do this twenty-four/seven but growth is there and for this I am thankful.
