Notes on Spirituality 020721

Heard this interesting interpretation of a Gita sloka in a podcast today. Out of three yoga's : karma yoga, gyan yoga and bhakti yoga, you can try to follow first two by actions or knowledge, But you can't plan to follow bhakti yoga. Bhakti is love for divine, it will happen when it has to happen. You just cannot inculcate bhakti forcefully.

Another concept shared was Shreyas and Preyas  (श्रेयस और प्रेयस) things. Preyas are things which may feel good but may not be good in reality. For example scratching your body may suppress the itch and feels good but excess scratching may harm the body. Preyas things are reverse. For example, doing exercise may not feel good but it is good for the body in the long term.
