Gita - like a Mother

on transcending the duality of experiencer and the objects of experiences, which are always imagined to be away from us. While the forms of all the objects are definitely different but the truth & essence of all is one.

Bhakti is Important : Bhakti opens up the mind for receiving the teachings of our beloved God by purgating our minds of all its ego-centric motivations & conditionings. So we should be thankful that we are blessed to get this knowledge. However, a word of caution - never let devotion make you a blind believer. Blind belief closes our intellect and thereafter we do not deeply appreciate the significance of the teachings of our God. Blind belief is counter-productive. It makes us to speak and even think of something without understanding it. We need a healthy mind, which tries to holistically understand the teachings rather than remain at the superficial level. So questions and discussions are acceptable, and even appreciated by teachers, when they are raised to properly understand a particular principle and message. With such a positive mind approach the mother and then definitely be blessed.

Om Tat Sat.
