Sai Baba Gita - Worldly Knowledge is Useless without Self-Knowledge

[Guest guest]

Worldly Knowledge is Useless without Self-Knowledge

Krishna taught in the Gita that once you acquire true spiritual knowledge your

troubles, difficulties and sorrows all disappear.

 

Embodiments of Love,

As long as you identify yourself with your body, you will be exposed to

countless problems and sorrows. The primary reason for having obtained your

body in the first place, is to enable you to undergo the consequences of your

past actions. This is your karma, the results of activities you have engaged in

which have not yet fructified. Why did you accumulate this karma in the first

place? Why did you engage in activities which bear consequences long into the

future? The reason for karma is the desire or attachment you have for some

things and the dislike or repulsion you have for other things. And what is the

reason for this attraction and repulsion? It is because your mind is steeped in

duality. You believe that this world is real and is filled with objects and

things which are separate from you. But, where did this false view, this

duality, come from? The reason for duality is your state of ignorance, the

beclouding of your consciousness by a dark veil that

covers the knowledge of your true reality.
