Maturity
- Freedom: In the vast theatre of life, Freedom is the soul’s perennial state, as Lord Krishna reveals to Arjuna; it is unbound by the ephemeral play of creation and dissolution.
- Just as the sky is untainted by the clouds that drift through it, our true self, Atman, is untouched by the cycle of births and deaths, free in essence and existence.
- Recognising this eternal freedom within us inspires a life lived in authenticity, unchained from societal expectations and personal entanglements.
- Freedom is the soul’s unshakable serenity amidst life’s flux.
- Respectability: Respectability, as per the teachings of the Gita, emerges not from titles or accolades but from living in harmony with the eternal truth of our soul’s invincible nature.
- To be respectable is to honour the inner battlefield, where the struggle is not against external enemies but against internal ignorance and illusion.
- It is the consistent alignment of our choices with our higher self that builds an aura of respect that is authentic and unfeigned.
- Respectability stems from aligning actions with one’s authentic, eternal nature.
- Maturity: Maturity, in the spiritual context of the Gita, is recognising the impermanence of life yet engaging wholly with the play of existence, aware of the indestructible nature of the self.
- It is the mature soul that perceives the transient world with equanimity, understanding that birth and death are but waves upon the eternal ocean of consciousness.
- Spiritual maturity unfolds as one learns to act from a place of inner centeredness, not swayed by fleeting emotions or external praise.
- Maturity flourishes in wisdom, not in the passage of years.
