understand your true self in the words

of Krishna the soul is neither born and

nor does it die it is eternal and Beyond

the physical

body in the bhagvad Gita the concept of

Atman is profoundly significant in

enhancing our emotional strength Atman

refers to the true self or soul that

exists within each individual this this

idea is crucial to the teachings of

Krishna who guides Arjuna as

understanding Atman allows us to

recognize our true nature which can lead

us to spiritual Freedom one key aspect

of Atman is that it's Eternal and

unchanging while our physical bodies

experience constant changes growing

aging and eventually dying Atman remains

constant much like a movie scene that

continues to play even as the background

shifts one vital aspect of Atman is its

indestructibility Krishna emphasizes

that our soul cannot be destroyed he

asserts that weapons cannot cut it fire

cannot burn it water cannot wet it and

wind cannot dry it this metaphor

signifies that our true self is beyond

any form of harm for instance consider a

balloon that floats in the sky while the

balloon may eventually burst the air

within it continues to

exist realizing that Atman our soul is

indestructible Fosters a sense of

security and reduces our anxiety

regarding the challenges and changes we

face in life Atman helps us rise above

the Opposites in life like Pleasure and

Pain success and failure joy and sorrow

these opposites or dualities are a

natural part of life for example we all

experience moments of happiness and

sadness victories and defeats when we

understand and connect with our utman we

realize that our true self is not

affected by these ups and downs and it's

this understanding that helps us stay

calm and balanced no matter what happens

around us think of it like being a

sturdy Tree in a storm

the wind May blow hard and the rain May

pour down but the tree stands firm and

doesn't get

uprooted similarly when we identify with

our Atman we become emotionally strong

and

steady this calm and balanced state is

called

equinity and what that means is that we

don't get overly excited during good

times or too upset during bad times we

maintain a steady steady mind and heart

this doesn't mean we don't feel emotions

but rather that we're not controlled by

them we can enjoy happiness without

becoming too attached to it and we can

face difficulties without being

overwhelmed by

them when we connect with our Atman we

become more self-aware and

mindful self-awareness means knowing

what we're thinking and feeling at any

moment whereas mindfulness means paying

attention to the present moment without

judging it combined these practices help

us understand ourselves better and make

clear and thoughtful decisions instead

of just reacting without thinking

imagine you feel angry about something

but instead of immediately yelling or

acting out mindfulness helps you notice

that you are angry and understand why

you feel that way from there you can

choose to respond calmly

wisely this way you handle the situation

better and don't end up making things

worse Krishna teaches that being

ignorant of our Atman not knowing our

true self is a big cause of our

suffering it's like getting lost in a

big city you feel confused and

frustrated because you don't know where

you are or where to go similarly not

knowing who we really are makes us feel

lost and unhappy but once once we learn

about our Atman we find Clarity and joy

this Bliss has always been inside us

just waiting to be discovered to truly

understand and realize the Atman

practicing Nana yoga is

essential according to Krishna Nana yoga

is the knowledge of understanding the

difference between the Atman our Eternal

Soul our true self and the temporary

Material World this discern helps us see

beyond the surface and recognize the

deeper truths of

existence nyana yoga involves three key

practices sharana which means listening

Manana which means reflecting and nasna

which means deep

meditation by listening to spiritual

teachings reflecting on their meanings

and meditating on these truths we can

develop a clear mind this Clarity allows

us to distinguish between what's real

and Lasting and what's temporary and

illus practically speaking Nana yoga

encourages continuous learning whether

through scripture philosophy or wise

mentors critical thinking is vital for

questioning assumptions and making

informed decisions free from the

influence of fleeting emotions or

external pressures reflecting on past

experiences also helps us grow wiser and

avoid repeating

mistakes through Nana yoga we come to

understand the nature of our true self

and learn to tell the difference between

what's real and what's

temporary by recognizing that our true

self our soul is eternal and not

affected by these temporary changes we

become less attached to these fleeting

experiences this lack of attachment

reduces anxiety and emotional distress

making us emotionally stronger and more

resilient in the face of challenges
