John might join us. John might join, Let us see. Guru Ram Brahma, Guru Ravi Snu, Guru Tivu Maheshwara, Guru Satchat Param Brahma, Tasmai Sri Guru Veenamah. Tasmai Sri Guru Veenamah. Tasmai Sri Guru Veenamah. Gita. So Gita, After two days, The next week's session will be all about understanding. That understanding is known as the yoga of knowledge. So knowledge is installed in the intellect and we all are fairly intelligent so we can understand easily but they are wonderful principles by only understanding, Installing the right knowledge in the intellect will bring an end to the suffering. So that we will pick up from the next week. So we have been studying karma yoga. We just covered the yoga sutra and we understood that real self is neither the doer nor the enjoyer nor the feeler of the pain. The real self is somewhere else. So that brings us then how to live my life daily. So I have to. . . Life without action is death. Action has to be done as long as the life is there. So we understood before that karma yoga means when I'm the doer I invoke the intellect and I check. Is the mind carrying an idea that I am the doer? Drop it. Just focus on the work. Second, Drop the fruits, The result of that action. Drop it. So these are the two main elements of karma yoga. Normally what do we understand karma yoga in different studios? We already know it. Just give a glass of water to every participant that is karma yoga. So we Americans are very easygoing. We turn every principle into easygoing. You are undergoing a yoga teacher's training you have to do karma yoga. Come one hour early. Clean the entire studio. I do it. So karma yoga has these two elements. So today we will understand how Krishna talks about this karma yoga in praise of karma yoga. So remember this praise of the karma yoga, Karma or the action always goes with your intellect. Why intellect? The intellect must go to have the right understanding, The right knowledge. What a beautiful verse Krishna speaks. So how should I do my daily perform my daily activities? So he defines yoga with reference to karma action. What he says in the 50th verse buddhi yukta jahati uve sukradhishkrate. My intellect must be, My intelligence must be united with every action. Have you heard that? You know check it. Where is your body? Where is your mind? Are they at two different places? No it will not work. It will cause you distress. So where the body is there the mind is. What you think so you speak. Do you see that? Now we have lot of verses you know proverbs like this. So what this master is saying yoga karmashu kau shalom. Yoga is skill in action but how that is done buddhi yukta. Had the existence given me the intellect? Yes. It has given me the intellect. So should I think before I act? Yes I am entering into karma yoga. No I am going away from the karma yoga. First thing understand in a simple way buddhi yukta jahati uve sukradhishkrate. The two together. Now so it means that in every action the knowledge is infused. Knowledge of what? Knowledge of seeking pleasure? No. Knowledge of claiming that I am the doer? No. Knowledge of focusing on the karma. Whatever the action that I am doing at present I must focus on that action. Action without the doer. So when I focus more on the action what happens? That doership the idea of a doership coming from the ego drops. The ego drops the motivation for the fruits of an action also drops. What happens? Karma becomes a play and a fun. Wherever you go whatever action you do. I call John, Hey how are you doing? Can you come down to my house and help me? No I have a headache. So that gives me an idea that okay he has an headache so he cannot do it. And the next day again I call yes I'm coming I'm ready to do it. So you see the intellect the knowledge in the intellect should be on the karma not on the doer. The doer says I have a headache. Focus on the karma. Mind is free. I'm just giving a smaller reference. You know this is the first time we this group is interacting. When we interact second time I will go a little deeper. I'm just making it very simple. So the intellect must have the right knowledge. The right knowledge must infuse into my action into my karma that I'm doing. Okay let us start with the chapter of the Gita, I'm feeling sleepy and still I will complete it. That's not the attitude. That should not be the attitude in doing anything. Honey can you give me a glass of water? Yes sure. Your focus is on the karma on the action. Not to whom you are giving not to whom you are receiving. What will happen? The mind will remain pure. So by the karma yoga we are purifying the mind. Oh I'm getting an opportunity to teach you. Let me do this karma of teaching. Let me focus on the karma. You understand very good. You do not understand very good. It is your mind has to pay attention. Why should I own the responsibility that you have really understood it depends on you. But it does not mean that I don't care as a teacher. I'm ready to answer the questions. See that. So understand that from the intellect point of view. Now another part that comes from the traditional discipline. Did I speak about there are you can say five types of karma. All our action can be divided five types of action. First is known as Nitya and the Nemetiya karma. Netya karma? Netya karma and Nemetiya karma it's an obligatory duty I must do it. If I don't do I will be punished by sorrow and the suffering. If I do it I don't get any reward but I have to do it. Obligatory I was just talking to Kate I have to file my text return of LLC. It is obligatory duty. Millions of people file the text is they don't get the reward. So I don't get the reward but it is my obligation it is my duty that I must file the text. Right? Same thing. What is my role at home? I'm living in a family with the kids and honey etc etc. I should play my role. When I am a husband I play my role. When I'm a wife I should play my role. When I am a sibling I should play my role. When I am a daughter I should play my role. Finished. It is obligatory. I should not do any favor to my father who is living with me. Favor means I'm the doer. See I'm doing a favor to you dad. No. You see the beauty of understanding then because we are living in a family with the people let me find out what is my role to play let me play a role of that karma you will remain happy. If you don't do it say my dad is sick for example and I don't take him to the hospital I will be punished. Punished in the mind with anxiety with the conflict. My mind will think you know see this guy unknown as a dad did lot of favor to me but I did not do anything to him. You will have those opposing thoughts. Now I'm scared because I did not file the taxes. See that if you don't do it you are punished at the mental level. That is another cause of anxiety and mental challenges. Second is known as the Namitya Karma that is also obligatory duty. I ought to do it. I must do it. What is that obligate? Amongst friends relations hey you you have to come on my birthday so if you can come really find out you should attend. Leave aside these two duties are obligatory must be done. So that is how you are clearing your mind. By performing these duties you are clearing your mind. You are not going to be punished because you are going to file the taxes you follow the rules of the road. I have one friend he had a luxury car so sometime he drives and two times he over speeded and then I said it is better to avoid sitting as a passenger on his car and I told him that it is our obligation I must recognize what is my obligation I must follow the rules of the road. Why? I should enjoy the freedom. Do you see that? Do you see from the intellect your action comes. Intellect you have a clarity of understanding I must follow the rules of the road. My son says you see that I know that you will always drive within a limit I said that gives me a freedom. I file the taxes that gives me the freedom. I play my role. What is my role? As a father as a honey I play my role as a teacher I play my role. Why should I waste your time? You have come to me for a virtual session I should not waste even a single minute. Why? I play I should play my role perfectly well. See these two karmas. Third type of the karma is known as kami karma. What is kami karma? Let me translate in as in in an American way that I claim that the entire world is a utility for me, Utilitarian. I have a motive for the fruits of an action. I have a kind of selfishness in my mind. So my selfishness in the mind and utilitarian concept in the intellect I work. Either I work for dad, For my son, For my honey, For everyone. This kami karma causes 99% of the problems in your life. Kami karma. So our master says you have to remove this idea, Thought in the intellect to convert this kami karma which is forbidden, Which is desired driven action I must clear my head. You do it even for a week. After a week you will see that you are flying into the sky. The mind becomes so light because mind doesn't have any motivation now. Mind knows there is inda. The intellect knows there is inda. Whenever that is inda comes you fulfill it and finished. Done. This then only yoga is skill and action before that nothing happens. So what this does, I'm leaving the other two types of action, One is that you know if you have done something wrong then we repent on it. We repent by understanding it. That is one way. Sometimes we commit mistakes. It's natural. Human is to err until we reach to the higher state of mindfulness. So whenever we do it we repent on it and we avoid prohibited karma, Prohibited action, Over speeding on the road, Not paying the taxes, Insulting your seniors, So lot of stuff and humiliating your juniors. Don't worry. Just avoid it, Drop it. Why? Because it will not accumulate unwanted likes, Dislikes, Hatred, Challenges, Anxiety, Duality, Conflict, Etc. Don't start talking you know my honey is the worst guy. Neither say this my honey is the best guy. Find out the thin line balancing it. Balancing it. No likes and dislikes. Why? Attachment, Detachment. That leads to that I enter into my individual self, The false self and the false self will cause the suffering. You are bad for yourself. Why should I worry? You are good. You are good for yourself. Why should I worry? Why should I think? Look at this Krishna, The crazy master. Yes, Yes Kate. So, Girish, We've been struggling with this as a group a little bit. I have a question for this. So when your guru died, Did you not grieve? Did you not have some sense of sadness because the guru died but still you were in essence. . . Tell me who grieves, The false self or the real self? We just covered. Can I finish? Yeah. And then the point, My question was, There is still the belief that my true self is the end. There is the sense of loss from the, Not the real self, But the thinking self. There's grief. So you're saying there is no ever any sense of grief, That that's not real? You asked me a most beautiful question. My master knew when he is going to leave the body. He called everyone and he said the moment I die, My means my body dies, First thing you have to celebrate. Nobody should grieve. Nobody should have a big face and if you have a big face, You should leave. I will not check you but you should leave that position. He warned everyone. He forced everyone to us. You need not to grieve. Second. . . And we followed it, We followed it, Everyone followed it. No, No, No, I'm following up with the question. So there is never anything but pure happiness bliss, There is never. . . I'm coming to, I will solve all your worries, Don't worry. Now master said to all of us, There was only one master and we have been learning from him for years. So every student, Every seeker, Every disciple knew that what kind of a master he is. So definitely we did not grieve, We celebrated that event. He said I want this body should be used for other living beings. So don't bury me into the ground. Put me into a wooden box with the holes there and drop it into the Ganges River so that the fish and other living beings will eat it. Very clear and we have to follow strictly. If we are a disciple of our Guru we have to follow his orders. We did the same thing. Then we came back and we invited 300 monks in the Rishikesh and we gave them more than say you can say thousand dollars of gift. That was our celebration, That was our grieving for the master. Why? We know the master never dies. When we follow the path of yoga this is the truth. Now come to the material world. You go for a service to someone died and you declare oh there is a real self, Why you are grieving then you are crazy. Then you are crazy. Internally you should remember the real self outside. You follow what the society is doing. They have a big face so make the big face. You're right he died a good death. You see you have to play your role in the society. You have to follow the mob but internally your intellect says no one dies. You maintain that. So internally there is no grief. Real self is all pervading. The more you do it your thinking self will dissolve, Will be replaced by the real self. Then third point you ask yourself your intellect why I am grieving. Do you learn this? Do you remember the story of the Buddha and the mother? Did Buddha grieve? Mother you are also my mother. I am very sorry for the loss of your son. Did Buddha say this? Did Buddha say this? Buddha awakened the wisdom in the intellect. Mother go to every house in the village and find out if no one died in their house I will make your son alive. See that. Did Buddha grieve? That is his grief. So we the person who is grieving if the wisdom lives in my intellect I have to find out the way to help others to drop that grief. That is the fourth point. I should find out whosoever takes birth has to die. Can you change that? By grieving if I can change let me change it then. Then you are greater than these masters. Definitely. You are wiser than those people. Change them. So is my intellect ready to accept the truth? No. So why? Because if I die these people will not come so hence I have to attend their grieving ceremony. Come on. Let no one come. This body is the false self let it die. So why? I remember beautiful women in India and she has been bubbling with happiness all the time. Yes, Whitney you have a big question. I don't know if it's a big question but I just it's kind of along the lines of what Kate was asking like I get the birth and death cycle that's all part of it but in the work that I do I work with parents who have abused their children in really horrific ways and I have a really hard time not getting attached to that and my job is to offer services and try to help the family you know get to where they need to get to offer services to the kids and things like that but I really really struggle not getting attached so I don't know how like. . . First thing the moment you have already answered the question there is an attachment there is a detachment from where it comes. Ask yourself it comes from the sense of ego the false self from where the false self comes it comes from the ignorance. What is ignorance? Not knowing my real self and sticking to the false self. So first I must take care of myself. I should become a seeker I should reflect again and again that this attachment and detachment and this ego self is causing the ignorance and hence the result is I am obsessively seated in the body. Who is abused? Body or you? Ask yourself. Ask the question go to the ultimate cause who is abused the body. Can you reverse this? No. Can you bring an end to the miseries at present and in the future? Yes I have a possibility and from there apply these principles of yoga. So first what is the journey of yoga? Am I living into that state? If I am not living into the state of equanimity beyond attachment and detachment how the hell this crazy mind guide others? Take me to those people one day I will go with you and I will tell you it depends on the group. I was given 15 people they are living a prison life and out of the 15, 13 committed crime. Crime in the sense that either they killed their own relations or others. So the counselor asked me can you do something? I said I can do everything to them. Nobody's. So just you know I'm cutting a short to the story so I went there so there were two very strong men to protect me in a session. I said this is only in the first session you have to be there otherwise you will not be allowed in the second session. Why should I create a fear among them? So why in the first session? Because I wanted to understand them. I have to know that how to make them receptive to what I'm going to talk. In the first session I have understood and they were very well built. They gave me a biography that this guy killed two people. Incarcerated said okay in the second session I started my journey. It was they gave me almost I think 40 sessions. I'm cutting short a story. So in the 20th session the counselor called me 10 p. M. In the night. You are wanted in the prison. Not to be imprisoned but I said what happened? No five of them they are asking your presence otherwise they have created a chaos. So I took my son. It was in I was living in East Brunswick almost 100 now about 40 miles from there and so I went there at around 11 p. M. I gave them the lesson. I talked to them and then I left. Simply by applying these principles in a simple way. So my another 20 sessions were extended. So for every session they were paying me much more than enough. Bitney first. From the bitney you become the yoga seeker. Check your intellect. You are away from attachment and detachment and then look at the incident and event outside and the people. Apply these principles. You become a great bitney. What happens? So what happens now? See that what happens? We are picking up this sutra a little deeper because of your questions. So what happens? You are purifying the mind. The mind remains in that state of poison calm. Now you are not asking for any motivation deep inside in the intellect is absent. You are not the doer you focus on the karma. Now understand what is the secret? If I am focused on the action and I am doing the karma I will definitely get the reward even though I am not thinking of it. I will definitely get the reward. If I am over speeding I will get the reward. It's normal. But if I'm driving in a speed limit reward is there. I did not get even a single ticket except one in New Jersey and that too I was summoned before the judge and I it was just three months. So the women judge, You know she was also beautiful. Women are always beautiful you know so not like me and the judge. So you agree you know you agree yes. So yes yes you can ask you are freezed you're freezed. So I went to the judge and I just discussed and I so just asked me what you do? I said I put this into order. I just pointed this. I put this into order. What do you mean? I said I just put this into order. Oh you seem to be a consul. I said some short of it. Okay and she started laughing. So fine was $119. She said you have to pay the fee of the court that is $19, $100 in admonished. That was the first appearance. I said why shouldn't I appear in the court? Let me go and talk. I said it's not my fault. I proved it and she agreed to it. Anyhow you see you get that kind of a state of fear less than calm. What will happen? Why it will happen? The cop will say something. Why they will say something? You are right. Now coming to that go back. When you start working like this you purify the mind and you are bound to get a reward. The best reward that you get that your mind remains in calm and peace. The best reward. You increase the capacity and the creativity of your intellect that helps you to perform your action, That helps you to perform your action with a clarity and when there is a clarity it becomes yoga. What is that yoga? Krishna says yoga is skill in action. Yoga karmashu. Kaushalam means skill. So what is that if you are skillful in talking, You are skillful in thinking, You are skillful in driving, What happens? What happens? Do you experience the state of fearlessness? Do you experience the state of calm? Do you experience the state of poise? Vettney do you experience that state? Yoga is skill in action. Mind remains cool. Then you don't say to the person oh you look so cool and inside you look so hot because your face shows you have such a big face. Still you look cool. No you don't do that. See the beauty of this Gita. Many of you remain attached with so many stories that you hear. Do you remain cool outside and inside? Ask yourself. First you have to. . . I have to ask myself, It's not even cool. You become cool first so that you can make others cool. See that this is what this verse is so beautiful. Yoga karmashu kaushalam. Let us know, Let me go to verse 51. Ah Nik from the next week I'll just pick up that is one of the most wonderful part of the yoga. Now they see that what this verse says. Karmajam buddhi uktahai phalam tyaktva mani shurnah janma bandhar vinir muktahapadam gacchanti anamayam The sages means the Masters who have united their reason and the will with the divine, Replace the divine with the real self. Three points. Reason, Reason means I must understand the journey of my life. Will, You know the will, Prompt me to action and with the divine, Divine use the word real self. The sages, The masters or the seekers who united, Who have united the knowledge or the wisdom with the will, With the real self, Renounce the fruits. Which action is in the liberated from the bond days of birth, They reach the status beyond misery. You have already brought the end of suffering. John look at your own book whether the translation is like this or different. If it is different, Reject that. This is not my translation, This is the translation of by one great master, Sri Aurobindo. Did I tell you that I use the translation by Sri Aurobindo? Now see that what he is saying. Karmaja, What a beautiful message, Principle and this is the answer to your question in detail, Bittani. Will, Wisdom, Real self, They are together, You are performing an action, You don't worry for the fruits of an action and then what happens? You experience a kind of freedom. Ah yes, Yes, My one of my another master. I always adore and respect five different masters. With whom I got initiation, Swami Lakshman Das of Dhooti, I will send you the picture. The second is Sri Aurobindo and the mother. Third is the Uji Krishnamurthy. You can say the sibling of J. Krishnamurthy. I spent almost three months day and night with him, 24 by 7 and I asked the most craziest questions and he answered me so softly. That delusion was removed. So Uji Krishnamurthy was just opposite my master. My master will follow the traditional discipline. Uji Krishnamurthy said reject the authority of all the text and masters and I used to go to both of them. I loved both of them. I learned from both of them. That is the beauty of yoga. You are the highest level of seeker, Reject the authority of even Patanjali. But if you are not a seeker, If you are not the highest level of seeker, You have to follow the discipline. So anyhow leave this. Karma Jam Budhi Yukta. So you see that what the master is saying, Understand that. Karma yoga. We are in the praise of Krishna is praising the karma yoga. Why he is praising the karma yoga? You do the practice of meditation one hour, 23 hours, Your mind is crazy. But as far as the karma yoga is concerned during the waking state we have to perform lot of karma. Karma means action. Action to your friends and your honey, To the siblings, Action of eating, Teaching, Guiding, Etc. Etc. Are out of karma. So karma yoga can be done 24 by 7 by understanding this but karma yoga has to be linked to the intellect. The intellect should be clear with these principles will, Wisdom and the real self. See that I am using the translation of our master Aurobindo who have united their reason, Will, With the real self. You will be liberated here and now from today. Leslie you are liberated from today, You are awakened. Finished. All the problems are gone. But what he says, Karma yoga who performed the action with the full knowledge of what in the action binds them and what in the action liberates them. Did you understand? What in my action of teaching will bind me? Can you guess? Yes? Ego. Ego. I will think you know John must appreciate me, Leslie must appreciate me, Christina must smile. I don't see bitness so I cannot say anything about bitness. You see that? So if that motivation is present my mind is already divided. It is binding me. It is a binding desire. Why shouldn't I explain in freedom? Whatever little I know. Let me enjoy speaking and expressing that peace and happiness. Now this action is not binding me. Outwardly I am teaching the same thing but inwardly intellect. Binding not binding. Binding not binding. Now in praise of the women you know, Women normally spends two to three hours before the mirror and then they go out and no one appreciates. The entire day becomes the worst day in their life. Now think of it, Binding and binding. Think of it with all praise for the women. They should do it. You know I just do it and I'm ready for it. Same thing with John you know he does and he is ready. It's because we don't have nice beards and mustaches like you guys. You don't have a luxury to have beer with me. Come on. Yeah yeah it is going backwards so I said let it go backward. No worries. Do you see the point here? The intellect binds you. That results into the karma and that karma brings the attachment, Detachment, Fear, Reaction, Anxiety, Duality, Conflict and you're gone. Simple understanding inside the intellect with that wisdom and the knowledge delivers you what the master is saying. Look at this. Padam gachanti anam ayam. They reach the status beyond misery. Are you listening with too much of pressure in your mind? That is your problem. So what should I say then? I cannot help that. Are you listening to me with understanding? What should I say? Do you see that point here? Here and now. Look at it. Janva bandha vinur mukta. The master is saying you get rid of the cycle of birth and death. Come on. Here and now you start living like this. You see Janva bandha vinur mukta padam gachanti anam ayam. What a beautiful verse and a message here. Either you offer your honey a plate of food with a big face or a smiling face. Choice is yours. Make the right choice. Why? For your own sake. Not for the honey. You smile for your own sake. Normally we have a conflict between, Oh no you didn't smile you know you didn't appreciate. Why should I appreciate you? You should appreciate yourself first. Do you appreciate? No. My mind was thinking you know I will cook this and then you will appreciate me. You appreciate me very good. You don't appreciate me very good. I put all my efforts into the particular action. Leslie did you understand this point? From today you start living in peace and happiness. Nobody can ever drop you. Let us pick up you know another, Ah ha ha, This is another verse that changed my life but it took me, This is my almost I would say 20th time I am teaching and learning Gita. Only I repeat it. I told you that at least one chapter every month. Only one chapter. But you guys are wiser than me so you complete the entire Bhagavad Gita in one day. I cannot do it. So I think of it. I contemplate. I think what is the masses Krishna is for me? What masses you are giving to me? What should I do? How should I live? With every verse. So it takes about a month for me. I am a slow goer. That is why he says you guys are yadate mohukkalilam buddhhi, Dviatit, Rishati, Tadagat gantasi, Nirvedam, Srotavasya, Srotasyatya. When thy intelligence shall cross beyond the will of delusion then shall thou become indifferent to the scripture heard or that which thou has yet to hear. What is the meaning of this? Understand? Yadate mohukkalilam, Key milestone in the life of a karma yogi. You see when you perform the karma according to the principles of yoga it becomes karma yoga. This verse, The first milestone you reach. What you reach? That is written in the second line of the verse, Nirvedam. Nirveda means indifference. Indifference is not being sad. The precondition for it is to crossing over the mire of delusion bhittni, I want your attention. The answer is here given by the Krishna. Why should I answer you? Now mind is not at all affected by the attachment and detachment, Profit and loss, Victory and defeat, Appreciation or the heart. Your mind says cool, I am cool inside so I will be cool outside also. You have a right perception but how that comes that is written in the first line of the verse that you have contemplated, Reflected and removed the delusion behind the working. Delusion behind the working. What is the delusion in the work? If I do it, If I will teach you, You will be calm but I don't become calm, I become more irritated then I get more frustrated. Why? Because I do not follow these principles correctly. Now go little deeper, Delusion is seen at two level. Delusion is seen at one or two level at first. First is swadharma, What is my duty bhittni? As a counselor, As a teacher, Am I sticking to that duty? No, My mind went back, It is attached, It is detached, It is already upset, I want to make people calm who are already upset. How can a person who is upset can make the other person calm? This is another delusion, I have to get rid of it. I'm not saying anything, Our master is saying. I am explaining what the master is saying. First, That is first. So first level of delusion it is already in my intellect. That is why I'm moved by, I am moved by the sufferings of others with reference to attachment, Detachment, Likes, Dislikes, Being upset. My mind is already upset. This is the first level of delusion. Got it? Second level of delusion? Second level of delusion that I have a grand delusion that I don't know who am I. I am a real self but I claim that I'm an individual self. I saw your miseries, That is why I moved by it. If you will cry, I will also cry. If you become upset, I will also become upset. If you have a big face, I will also create a big face. Then I am a teacher? Then I'm a teacher? No. Two types of delusion at the personal level and then at the level of the real self. Unless I get rid of these two different delusions, Moh Kalilam, That is the meaning. Moh Kalilam and the result is nirvedam. Nirvedam, Which is a word, It is a word used for discernment and dispassion. You see the different words are used so to convey the right meaning. Gareesh, Will you send us those words and stands for it? Yeah, It is there. Moh Kalilam. Moh Kalilam. Moh Kalilam. Moh Kalilam. So that is the Moh Kalilam, It is here and nirvedam. Nirvedam means? Nirvedam is indifference, Discernment and dispassion. Now see that will six steps. Karma yoga begins in your life when there is a self-awareness. When you do not live your life unconsciously, Habitually, Instinctively. Second step, Purify your mind. How? Remove that motivation of that you are the doer. Remove the motivation for the reserved. Focus on the karma. Third step, When you perform the action the attachment and detachment disappears from your mind. Right? Attachment, Detachment will disappear. Likes and dislikes will go away. Fourth step, I'm just explaining in steps. Then the fifth step, The delusion leaves you. Delusion leaves you then what happens? Ah, The intellect is cool, Mind is cool, The heart is cool, You are cool. How can the cool guy enter into any stress and suffering? You see I just broke up into six steps. Karma yoga begins when I'm aware. You know one beautiful girl from Eastern Europe I gave a group session she said you know I do not understand why people outside are so crazy I cannot guide them. I responded please start guiding yourself. Simple phrases. Now I cannot get out of the yoga you know my intellect has become so crazy. She wrote to me after two days I am really sorry you talked to us 100 times but I forgot it. This is delusion. This is delusion. Now you understand, This is delusion. So first step, What is the first step? Karma yoga begins when I'm self-aware. Second, Second is become aware. Motivation. Doer, No doer. I just perform my action. Like a small child, Like your pet dog. If the dog, Your pet dog has an ego they will say Leslie hell with you you know you have you have inserted me I'm not coming to you. Focus on the karma.
