The Song of Eternity:  

A dialogue between Lord Krishna the divine in us and Arjuna the symbol of our deluded ego (jeevabhava).

How our mental confusion, delusion, desires, passions etc. destroy our inner peace and how to overcome them is indicated in it. Gita is a consolation to the bereaved, disillusioned, disappointed, morally slipped and spiritually fallen.

It is a guidance to all kind of people and for every profession. The grand vision of the universe and all pervasiveness of God indicated. The secret of action pointed out -- How one can step up efficiency, inner peace, concentration, usefulness to others and joy to himself is indicated.

Tips for effective meditation given -- Nature of the perfect man pointed out -- Science of spiritual growth, spiritual fall and impotent stagnation is indicated --The beauty of the spirit and the ways of reaching the divine goal are indicated and that is the glory of Gita.

Set Yourself Free

Set Yourself Free - Edmund O'Neill Set yourself free from anything that might hinder you in becoming the person you want to be. Free yourself from the uncertainties about your abilities or the worth of your dreams, from the fears that you may not be able to achieve them or that they won't be what you wanted. Set yourself free from the past. The good things from yesterday are still yours in...memory; the things you want to forget you will, for tomorrow is only a sunrise away. Free yourself from regret or guilt, and promise to live this day as fully as you can. Set yourself free from the expectations of others, and never feel guilty or embarrassed if you do not live up to their standards. You are most important to yourself; live by what you feel is best and right for you. Others will come to respect your integrity and honesty. Set yourself free to simply be yourself, and you will soar higher than you've ever dreamed.
