Ch4 - Yoga of Discriminating Wisdom

            By sitting next to the wisdom of the holy Bhagavad Gita and listening to the discourse between Lord Krishna and Arjuna, which is the scripture of yoga and the science of God realization, thus begins the fourth chapter called Jnana Yoga, union with God through the wisdom to discriminate between reality and the illusion caused by the created world. (OOPS – I let some Hindu religion slip in, but it’s just for some context about what is to follow.)
            The knowledge of how to identify with your true inner self rather than ego-driven desire is said to have come directly from God.  But whatever the source, its wisdom has literally been passed down directly from teacher to student for thousands of years.  The truth in this wisdom is eternal, even when the elements of nature make it appear to be just a delusion.  The result is that this wisdom has been of supreme benefit to humankind.
           Luckily for humankind, when righteousness seems to be in decline and vice predominates, someone always comes along to remind us that there is virtue in this world and there is a reason to be good and do good.
