Shri Krishna taught all the dharmas in the Samkhya Yoga and established the fact that sense control is the basis for all these dharmas. Truth is the seven-fold, namely, Satya (truth), Dharma (righteousness), Nyaya (justice), Dama (sense control), Thapa (asceticism), Tyaga (sacrifice) and Ahimhsa (non-violence). More than memorizing the shlokas in the Bhagavad Gita, it is essential to practice these qualities in our daily life and thereby realise the nature of divinity. We must be able to grasp the essence of the shlokas and put into practice in our daily life. I expect you to give equal importance to the practice of the teachings contained in these shlokas, just as you memorise them. (BhaG, p.195)
