The Gita shows the way to mental growth from intellect to wisdom: A citation and inspired coul[ets

Citation

Gita offers a built-in framework to develop the intellect. With consistent study and application, it strengthens the inner personality. ... All problems stem from lack of intellectual guidance. The world today is driven by instant pleasure. Anything that requires hard work or effort is shunned. For a few seconds of tantalising pleasure, we give up a lifetime of happiness. This is happening at the level of individual, society and nations...Gita introduces you to your real Self. The mind becomes calm, the intellect gains clarity. And excellence flows effortlessly. You begin to master the world – and ultimately rise beyond it, moving towards Enlightenment.(aya Row, 2026)

Inspired Couplets

The mind, a restless, stormy sea,

Lured by pleasure, wild and free.

But calm the waves, let reason guide,

With gentle hand, turn back the tide.

The thinking mind, a light so bright,

Shines on truth, and banishes night.

Do what is right, with open eyes,

Let go of self, and win the prize.

With gentle reins, we learn to hold,

The senses wild, blind and bold.

Dispassion grows, a lotus bright,

Unfolding softly, in the light.

From restless heart to knowing soul,

Find peace within, and make you whole.
