The Bhagavad Gita1434
up the lesson where it was left off, and thereby advance gradually to a more
perfect mastery.
“Nothing once gained is ever lost by death; the essence of attainment is
preserved and rebestowed upon the new born soul. His earnest reaching
out for the attainment of Yoga, carrieth him even farther than would the mere
study of the Sacred Writings. And laboring with patience, perseverance
and application, freed from his errors, and fully developed through many
rebirths, he attaineth the goal he seeketh, and obtaineth Peace and Mastery.
“Thus thou seest that the faithful and earnest seeker after Truth—he who
doth the best he can and ever trusts to the workings of the Law,—is greater
by far than the fanatics who seek merit by penance and self-torture. Yea,
also, better even, than many who call themselves learned, is he. And more
merit hath he than many of those who seek merit by good works. Therefore,
O Arjuna, become thou one who, with Faith and Love, letteth My love and
life flow through him. Of all the Yogis, O Prince, I consider him the most
devoted whose heart is filled to overflowing with love for Me, and who
dwelleth in perfect Faith.”
thus endeth part vi of the bhagavad gita, which part is called “self
mastery.”
