SLOKA OF THE DAY:

Bhagavad Gita As It Is -
Chapter 8 Text 27

naite srti partha janan
yogi muhyati kascana
tasmat sarvesu kalesu
yoga-yukto bhavarjuna

na--never; ete--these two; srti--different paths; partha--O son of Prtha; janan--even if he knows; yogi--the devotee of the Lord; muhyati--is bewildered; kascana--any; tasmat--therefore; sarvesu kalesu--always; yoga-yuktah--engaged in Krsna consciousness; bhava- just become; arjuna--O Arjuna.

TRANSLATION

Although the devotees know these two paths, O Arjuna, they are never bewildered. Therefore be always fixed in devotion.

JOURNAL:

Being fixed in devotion means practicing for the day I die. I know, when phrased this way, it sounds morbid and yet, isn't this what all religion is ultimately about? As I practice for that day I fell Him closer and closer to me. My realization of Him grows as my conception of Him shrinks.
