For inner change, momentum matters more than movement Gita 06.25

Hare Krishna For inner change momentum matters more than movement whenever we want to do something different, whenever we want to change ourselves, we often feel that oh this is going to be very difficult I won't be able to do it what should I do? But if you understand that actually inner change is not just a matter of specific changes that we do but the patterns that we create in our mind the impressions that we establish which prompt us towards that change suppose we want to go on a particular journey now we may move and how many steps we may move that is important but suppose if we are in a car or a train and if that starts moving now when it starts moving how much distance it has covered is important but also the momentum it has acquired is important because if it has a high momentum then even if the fuel runs out still it will keep moving because of the momentum so that's why for each one of us when we are trying to change ourselves the important thing is to set a momentum the important thing is to make sure that each one of us has the capacity to keep moving onward no matter what happens and if we do that then we are successful always because every single action that we do creates an impression inside us and that impression will come out again as a proposition so impression proposition impression proposition and this will become a cycle if we keep doing small changes also so for example if you want to study the Bhagavad Gita rather than maybe in one vacation we read the whole Bhagavad Gita that is good but if we just make it a habit to read sometime every day even if it is 5 minutes, 10 minutes, half an hour whatever we can if we do that that momentum will be far more powerful for us in the long run than just the moment that we make and this is very empowering because often we think of changes in terms of big changes and we think oh maybe I won't be able to do it and just don't try it instead if we think of changes in terms of small changes and do those changes then we can keep moving onward steadily till eventually we attain the right destination, we attain the perfection that's what each one of us is aspiring for in life and Bhagavad Gita also tells us in 625 that steadily, step by step we need to work not like a zoom, slowly step by step we focus our mind on that which needs to be done on that which is real on the ultimate reality and if it wanders off, just get it back gently, firmly and repeatedly if we do this gradually the momentum for change will change us much more in the moment that we make in the direction of change Thank you. Hare Krishna.
