Lord
Krishna did not deliver the teachings of the Gita for his own benefit,
but for his devotee Arjuna's sake, so that Arjuna could be liberated.
This transformation comes through satsang. Satsang is so pure and so
powerful that it can save a person from catastrophe. What will listening
to worldly people and their gossip do for you? It will only give you
high blood pressure. Satsang will lower your blood pressure and make it
normal! All the tension the world has caused you will go away. A person
needs very little to live on, but how much tension and hassle he takes
upon himself! It's something to think about. You can't take anything
with you when you leave this world; you will have to leave everything
behind. Even so, people carry such a load of tension around with them.
Devotion teaches us to be aloof from worldly cares, to live like King
Janak did. The lotus lives in dirty water but its flower is always above
the water. This is how to live.
