KARMA YOGA IN THE GITA
O man! It is very difficult to get a human birth. Life is meant for God-realization. Perennial joy and eternal bliss are in God. Do not waste this precious life in drinking, gambling, smoking and meat-eating. What will you say to the God of Death at the time of your death? No one will help you You will carry your own thoughts and actions. Give up gambling, meat-eating, drinking, cinema and smoking from this very second. Give me a definite promise now. I am your friend and well-wisher Wake up now. Open your eyes. Become a virtuous man. Do good actions. Sing Hari's Name God's Name is a potent antidote for all evil habits. Study religious books Seek the company of sages and devotees. All evil habits will be eradicated. Serve. Love. Give. Purify. Concentrate. Meditate. Realize this very second. Time is the most precious thing in the world. Ignorant people waste their whole time in playing cards and in gambling. What a horrible state of affairs! Highly deplorable' How powerful is Avidya or ignorance! People are lamentably sunk in the mire of darkness! Pitiable specimens of humanity' Slayers of Atma! May Lord Krishnaswami, Antaryami, the Indweller of your heart, give you strength to overcome all these evil habits' May His blessing be upon you all!
