A weekend is a good time to ponder and ruminate on the basic philosophy of life. I do read up on the Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta Treatise every morning before breakfast. Few messages keep appealing to me ...this Life is a Dream and all of us are actors in a play. Hence there is no point getting too caught up with trivial matters. At the same desires are like poison and temptations the snake in them ,which when given rise to can kill us. This is similar to the snake with 5 heads in the Yamuna which Lord Krishna helped to get rid of. Another important element we need to fight is our Ego ...this is akin to the clothes of the Gopis left behind on the riverside which Lord Krishna withheld.The Gopis symbolize all devotees of Lord Krishna on earth and the clothes their ego.In order to reach God one needs to leave behind their ego . The other books I have been recently reading is Meditations by Marcus Aurelius , Epictetus' Manual of Life , the Tripura Rahasya suggested by my friend Ansh
