Remembering, I rejoice

rājansaṃsmṛtya saṃsmṛtya saṃvādamimamadbhutamkeśavārjunayoḥ puṇyaṃ hṛṣyāmi ca muhurmuhuḥ

O King, as I remember, again and again, this wondrous, holy dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, I rejoice again and again.

What it means

Sanjaya can't stop remembering. Each time he recalls this holy conversation between Krishna and Arjuna, joy rises again. Muhur muhuh. Again and again. The Gita isn't meant to be heard once. It's meant to be remembered, revisited, and rejoiced in for a lifetime.

The story

Sanjaya speaks to a king whose sons are about to lose everything. Yet even in that dark moment, the memory of this dialogue fills him with joy.

In your life

Imagine a favourite memory you return to on hard days, a wedding, a birth, a perfect afternoon. Return to one verse from the Gita this week, and notice what it gives you now.
