Understanding the self...

Verse 1.12.36 and 1.13.1 (Ashish Pr):

* Vidura received knowledge about the destination of the self, from sage Maitreya.
* In today's world, we really don't think on the questions of who am I, why am I here etc.
* We want to be happy and we keep doing things for that, but we are not. Why? Cause we are not what we think we are.
* To understand who I really am, I need to give up the bodily conception of life. I am a spirit soul, a part and parcel of Krishna.
* And in reality, nothing belongs to me, everything in this world belongs to Krishna. There is no thing in thinking, this belongs to me, that belongs to me.
* I am here simply to serve the Lord. And He has given the manual, it is all there in the BG.
* He is there within us all the time. In one step He can protect us completely. Eg: We know how big one step of Vamanadev was. So we have to take shelter of the Lord, to understand the self.
