Pasta Arrabiata, Semolina Halwa to Bhagwad Gita!!

Cooking is like meditation for me. I decided to cook my dinner tonight, fusion of Indian and Italian cuisines –pasta arrabiata and sooji ka halwa (Semolina Halwa). Both are my all time favourite.

This blog has helped many readers. I have got emails where it was mentioned, ‘your blog inspires us’. At the end of the day, it was the purpose of ‘So You Think You Are Living’.

I am one of you and at times, I also feel to be inspired. I read books to keep my spirits high, mainly self-help. But nothing like reading quotes and that too from Bhagwad Gita. I read few of them while making my dinner. I thought to share with all of my readers. J. Any act is a combination of peace, action, love, humanity and body. All the quotes are around each one of these termsJ.

So read them and buon appetitoJ

"Little by little, through patience and repeated effort, the mind will become stilled in the Self."

"For those who wish to climb the mountain of spiritual awareness, the path is selfless work. For those who have attained the summit of union with the Lord, the path is stillness and peace."

"Fear not what is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed."

"Just as a fire is covered by smoke and a mirror is obscured by dust, just as the embryo rests deep within the womb, wisdom is hidden by selfish desire."

"Action is the product of the qualities inherent in nature."

"The body is mortal, but the person dwelling in the body is immortal and immeasurable."

"When you move amidst the world of sense, free from attachment and aversion alike, there comes the peace in which all sorrows end, and you life in the wisdom of the Self."

"A man's own self is his friend. A man's own self is his foe."

"Death is as sure for that which is born, as birth is for that which is dead. Therefore grieve not for what is inevitable."
