Discover the Indweller through your own Inner Practice

The sacred scriptures provide guidelines for seeking out and recognizing the

indweller; but scriptural teachings in themselves will not be sufficient to

know it. You cannot attain the divinity by merely studying the scriptures.

Using the declarations in the scriptures as your basis, you have to make a

determined effort to develop inner vision. Scriptures can only show the path.

They are like guideposts; they give the directions. To reach the goal you have

to walk the path yourself. Following the directions given you have to undertake

this sacred journey and unwaveringly adhere to it until the goal is reached. For

this the Gita has laid out the path.

In the Gita, the directions for the journey commence with the eleventh verse in

the second chapter. That is the beginning of Krishna's teaching. It starts with

the injunction not to grieve for those who should not be grieved for. Who is it

that should not be grieved for? What is the way to prevent grief? The Gita

teacher declared that there is no point in grieving over things which are

impermanent and transient. Bodies and personalities are impermanent and

transient. All the things of the world are impermanent and transient. Krishna

said, "Arjuna, all your grief is for nothing."
