Listen To Your Body's Wisdom, Which Expresses Itself Through Signals Of Comfort And Discomfort. When Choosing A Certain Behavior, Ask Your Body, "how Do You Feel About This?"

I Heard About Bhagavad Gita Very Early In My Childhood, From The Age Of Five Onwards. It Was One Of The Earliest Things I Started To Read When I Started To Read.

But Much Later, As I Grew Up, I Realized That It Was Much More Than That.

But This Cannot Be A Haphazard Journey That Falters And Wanders Off The Path. It's Easy For That To Happen When A Crisis Develops. Sudden Losses And Setbacks Shake Everyone Up; Those Who Keep Moving Forward Are Buoyed By Knowing That Their Path Cannot Be Destroyed, Only Interrupted.

The Ego, However, Is Not Who You Really Are. The Ego Is Your Self-image; It Is Your Social Mask; It Is The Role You Are Playing. Your Social Mask Thrives On Approval. It Wants Control, And It Is Sustained By Power, Because It Lives In Fear.
