Don't Take a U-Turn Bhagavad Gita by Nithyananda

Bhagavad Gita (Song of God) is a timeless treatise on the essence of living enlightenment. The Gita was imparted by the enlightened Hindu incarnation Sri Krishna to the warrior-prince Arjuna over 5000 years ago. Amazingly, the spiritual wisdom and life solutions offered in the Gita are so universal and current that it is even today used as a personal transformation guide In today's talk on Bhagavad Gita, Chap 2, Verse 59, Paramahamsa Nithyananda explains the dynamics of desire. As we tread our spiritual path to transformation, we may be tempted to turn back to the attractions of the life we left behind. Paramahamsa reveals that even Buddha experienced this impulse. Until our actual evolution into enlightenment, the pull of the past remains. When we become aware that our old patterns still call out to us, we can hold to our goal with clarity. Compassionately Paramahamsa reassures us that remembering our old ways does not interfere with our journey. It is only when we actually turn back that we lose ground.
