Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – Day 22: #100daysofinnergrowth
I’ve been listening to/ reading the Bhagavat Gita over the last few years…. Diligently… almost everyday. It’s not something that can be understood by a literal translation… a commentary and questioning argumentative analysis is necessary to clarify points.
I can’t say that I’ve understood everything but my guru’s explanations are very comprehensive and I’m sure I’ll get there at some point.
One thing that stood out – he said , “one should try to be a source of comfort for others”
I’ve thought about this a lot and what it means to be a source of comfort… and I’ve contemplated my actions in the past where I haven’t been that source…
At every point where I have failed to be that source is when I have been dissatisfied with myself, insecure perhaps, unhappy…. Because when one is happy and content with oneself, becoming a source of comfort for others is much easier …
This is something that I’ve been trying to think about when I make choices… and I’m just reminding myself today to continue to try to do this…
