Guest guest Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 prof laxmi narain (prof_narain) Source and courtesy: Sri Ramana Kendram, Hyderabad This article was published in Sri Ramana Jyothi, monthly magazine of the Kendram. WHAT IS KSHETRA: Sri Krishna says in the Gita: " O Arjuna, this body is akin to a field. " In Sanskrit, field is kshetra – farmland – innocent and pure, for it takes on whatever character the farmer chooses to give it. A handful of grain turns into an harvest. We can choose to create a garden that will delight the heart of all those who visit it, or turn it into a dumping ground for people to come and unload their garbage. Sri Krishna calls this body a field because it can help us accomplish whatever we choose. We can entrap ourselves in mundane activities or we can withdraw ourselves and concentrate on developing our inner self. Whatever we sow, we will harvest later. – Swami Muktananda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
