Precept of Holiness in the Bhagavad Gita

A Goole AI Overview informs that in the Bhagavad Gita, the precept of holiness is defined not merely as external ritual purity, but as an internal state of being characterized by purity of mind, detachment from worldly desires, self-realization, and unconditional devotion to the Divine . Holiness is presented as a practical, achievable state for anyone who cultivates divine qualities (Daivi Sampada) and acts with a surrendered heart or humility and ego-free state.

Inspired Couplets

Worldly conditioning's a snare,

Binds senses fast, an ego there.

Unholy hearts, with wants aflame,

Spoil fleeting thoughts, in endless game.

Humble and pure mind sheds its light,

Where ego fades, and evil takes flight.

Holiness dawns, a clean, bright space,

To wake within, and find our grace.

Purity blooms, a knowing deep,

Intuition whispers secrets to keep.

Self-awareness then, begins to shine,

"Know thyself truly," a truth divine.

Holiness blooms, a pure light,

Ego fades, the Truth shines bright.

Holiness pure, the heart so pure,

Divine love helps goodness endure.

Let pride fall, like leaves in breeze,

Surrender brings such inner ease.

QUINTAIN

Within the mind, a pure-pious space,

No worldly want, leaves its trace.

The self, found so clear,

Divine love held dear,

Humility shines Holy's face.
