Robert Oppenheimer’s deep association with the Bhagwad Gita is compelling, and telling
The very fact that the Gita verse resonated so deeply in Oppenheimer's consciousness reveals that he was, in his heart, a pacifist, a compassionate man who wished no one harm. At the same time, his dharma as a physicist - fervently engaged in putting together a deadly bomb - did not leave him any other option than to see the four-year Manhattan project to fruition.
Curb traffic in the mind
It sounds terribly daring - the kind of stunt for which professionals in the movies are paid in four figures. Yet, most of us critically underestimate our strength.

This takes a lot of solid muscle in the form of will power; and we can build it with practice.

How to be a true disciple
A true disciple is concerned only with the divine nature of the Guru. The Guru’s action as man is not the disciple’s concern. He is totally oblivious to it. To him, the Guru is Guru even if he acts unconventionally. Always remember that the nature of a saint is unfathomable. Measure not his divine nature with the inadequate yardstick of your ignorance. Criticise not your Guru’s action that is done on universal vision.

The mental contents are of an undesirable nature. You can hardly experience the divine thrill, ecstasy and elevation when the mind is filled with impure thoughts.
