Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1

Procedure:

Write a short essay where you describe 5 situations where incompletions came up between you and your family members and explain how fear and violence were at the root of it. Finally describe how you brought back the space of completion in each relationship.

"We can all be like Sanjaya with our third eye open instead of being blind like Dhrtarastra." One should be as Sanjaya, one should see the incompletions from the source of consciousness instead of being blinded by self-doubt and being blinded by identity like Dhrtarastra.

Bhīṣma had the gift of icchā-mṛtyū, self-willed death. His dharma, his integrity and authenticity were the standard for his era.

ayaneṣu ca sarveṣu yathā bhāgam avasthitāḥ bhīṣmam evā bhirakṣantu bhavantaḥ sarva eva hi

Stationed in your respective divisions on all fronts, all of you must give full protection to Bhīṣma
