Lisa’s Notes & Highlights

This is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay

2 highlights

After a short while cooing over it like an auntie trying to find the hazelnut swirl in a box of Milk Tray,

“only when the transcendent Self, or Being, comes to be appreciated on the level of the senses. Wrong interpretations of this and other verses have led many genuine seekers of Truth to undertake rigorous and unnatural practices in order to control the senses, thus wasting their lives and benefiting neither themselves nor others. Mastery of the senses is gained only through the state of established intellect, for in this state where man is established in awareness of the Self as separate from activity, his behaviour is quite naturally unaffected by the otherwise overpowering influence of the senses.”
― Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi on the Bhagavad-Gita: A New Translation and Commentary With Sanskrit Text -- Chapters 1 to 6
