ABOUT ACTIONS WE WROTE IN THE LAST MESSAGE WHICH WAS A LITTLE CONFUSING
ONLY HARD WORK IS THE HIGHEST FORM ACTION & GIVES "KNOWLEDGE" TO LIVE A HAPPY LIFE WITH GOOD HEALTH, PROSPERITY & HAPPINESS.
HOWEVER EVEN IN ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES ONE SHOULD BE BALANCED IN ORDER TO THINK CLEARLY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS THAT MAY APPEAR IMPOSSIBLE, BUT IN REALITY ARE SURMOUNTABLE OFTEN WITH A FRIENDS ADVICE. THE POOR ARE OFTEN HAPPIER THAN THE RICHIE RICH. IT IS FURTHER STATED

WHEN YOUR INTELLECT HAS CROSSED THE MIRE OF DELUSION
THEN YOU SHALL ATTAIN INDIFFERENCE TO WHAT HAS BEEN HEARD & WHAT IS YET TO BE HEARD

WHEN YOUR INTELLECT PERPLEXED BY WHAT YOU HAVE HEARD
STANDS STEADY KNOWING YOU DID NO WRONG, THEN YOU ARE OF A BALANCED MIND

HE WHO IS EVERYWHERE WITHOUT ATTATCHMENT, ON MEETING WITH ANY THING GOOD OR BAD
NEITHER REJOICES TOO MUCH NOR GRIEVES TOO MUCH , FOR ALL HAVE TO FACE SUCH SITUATIONS
IS TRULY WISE AMONGST MEN

THE SENSES GIVEN BY GOD LIKE GREED LEAD MANY A MAN TO EXTREME ACTIONS, EVEN MURDER
THE TURBULENT SENSES O SON OF KUNTI DO VIOLENTLY CARRY AWAY EVEN THE MIND OF THE WISE
EVEN THOUGH HE MAY BE TRYING TO CONTROL THEM; HENCE IT IS SAID
THE SELF CONTROLLED MAN MOVING ABOUT DESIRED OBJECTS
WITH HIS SENSES UNDER CONTROL, FREE FROM BOTH ATTRACTION & REPULTION ATTAINS PEACE
IN THAT PEACE ALL PAINS ARE DESTROYED, & THE INTELLECT BECOMES STEADY

BUT UNSTEADY IS HE WHO HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF GOD OR GODLINESS
AND TO THE UNSTEADY NO MEDITATION;AND TO THE UNMEDITATIVE NO PEACE
TO THE PEACELESS, HOW CAN THERE BE HAPPINESS O ARJUN
FOR THE MIND WHICH FOLLOWS IN THE WAKE OF THE WONDERING SENSES
CARRIES AWAY HIS DISCRIMINATION, AS THE WIND CARRIES AWAY A BOAT ON THE WATERS
THEREFORE O MIGHTY ARMED ARJUN HIS KNOWLEDGE IS STEADY WHOSE SENSES & DESIRES ARE UNDER CONTROL
HE ATTAINS PEACE INTO WHOM ALL DESIRES ENtER, AS WATER ENTERS THE OCEAN,
WHICH FILLED FROM ALL SIDES REMAINS UNMOVED
