Sound Bhakti

In the fifth chapter of the Bhagavad-gītā, Kṛṣṇa makes a few basic statements about happiness. He says, oh, here's one thing he says—this is a little bit different than most people think in the world about how you can be successful and happy. He says: "śaknotīhaiva yaḥ soḍhuṁ prāk śarīra-vimokṣaṇāt kāma-krodhodbhavaṁ vegaṁ sa yuktaḥ sa sukhī naraḥ." This kind of follows the last verse, where the last verse talked about tolerance, if you're able to tolerate the changes that are going on, be "dhīra"—everyone say "Dhīra". "Dhīra" means that you remain steady even amidst the changes. As your body's changing and there are ups and downs coming, you stay the same. And here, he says the secret to being happy as a human being, where you have the wherewithal to notice these changes and not react to them or overreact to them. "Śaknoti" means that you have some power to do this. You develop the power of what ? "Iha eva" as you're in the present body. "Iha" means right now, right here. So it means right now you're in this
