Bhagavad Gita is very relevant to modern times when you see things like global warming, climate chaos, changing weather patterns, natural disasters like hurricane Katrina, extreme poverty, economic disparities, social injustice, war, and terrorism - these are the projection of a collective consciousness that's in disarray.

When you contact the Higher Self, the source of power within, you tap into a reservoir of infinite power.

And for me anyway, consciousness is three components: a personal component which for lack of a better word we can call the soul. A collective component which is more archetypal and a deeper level, and then a universal domain of consciousness.

Commit yourself to deeper awareness. Be generous of spirit. Embrace every day as a new world. Let the timeless be in charge of time.

Let us realize that engagement and detachment aren't opposite-the more engaged we become, the more detached we will have to be.

The true self, once discovered, is the source of creativity, intelligence and personal growth. No external solution has such power.

Bliss cannot be found by remembering the past or anticipating the future.
