So,

Gita that we are studying.

Yes.

Guru Rabramha,

Guru Rabeshnu,

Guru Devo Maheshwara,

Guru Satcha Param Brahma,

Guru Ramana,

Guru Ramana,

Guru Ramana,

Guru Ramana,

Guru Ramana,

Guru Ramana.

So,

Gita we are studying the second chapter.

That second chapter that gives us that is just a summary of the entire Gita and other chapters are extensions.

Other chapters are extensions of it.

So in this chapter we are studying in parts.

You see that number,

Number after a phrase means the worst number.

So we have studied how the seeker becomes,

How the seeker becomes defensive.

You don't understand I have to earn money,

You know,

That's why I'm into anxiety.

The modern day excuses.

So we understand that we rationalize our problems.

So like this we continue to move ahead and last week we understood what exactly is the karma yoga,

Karma yoga.

And then Krishna,

The master,

Advises people who are suffering what they should do.

So we will pick up the 44th verse that summarizes what exactly is the karma yoga.

Understand karma yoga we say service.

It is not that in your studio I prepare a cup of coffee for everyone.

I clean your studio and that is karma yoga.

Normally it is understood.

So it is a misunderstanding.

So if we look at the 44th verse First thing that we have understood that karma yoga is also the buddhi yoga,

Yoga of intellect.

So when we say yoga of intellect or yoga of knowledge it means my mind or intellect should follow a pattern that helped me to settle in the karma yoga.

Bhoga e shwarya prasaktanam.

So I have a chaita saan.

That is a universal principle of yoga.

We just,

I just gave you one verse,

A definition of Ishvara.

Klesha karma vipakasaya param rishta.

What is the meaning?

That seeker or that yogi or that higher masters they are beyond action and inaction.

Means the doership and the enjoyership.

So it means mentally intellectually understanding that I am not the doer.

Now see if I am the doer what happens?

Who does?

All the actions,

Body.

Body is the doer and the enjoyer.

Body experiences the pleasure.

Even if you have a billion dollar that does not go beyond the body.

See that?

See the beauty.

You have a big mention it does not go beyond or deeper inside the body.

It remains at the body.

All kinds of pleasure,

Luxuries and comforts.

See that?

Do I really understand it?

So when I understand it then what happens?

My mind that is living in anxiety drops down.

So the meaning of this phrase it summarizes the entire karma yoga.

So it means I am doing,

I am as a doer and the enjoyer,

I am doing all kinds of works but remember one thing.

The fruit of the karma,

The fruit of the action is not permanent.

It is always impermanent.

This is the first message,

Master giving,

Chasing them leads when I am constantly chasing,

Chasing,

Chasing,

Chasing,

Chasing.

So what happens?

That is the meaning I am awfully busy.

Easy,

Busy plus crazy because the mind is constantly on the run.

Then I made it a habit,

Then I disturbed my sleep,

I wake up exhausted and I sleep exhausted.

Why for the sake of pleasure?

Where the pleasure is outside,

Master says give a break.

Do you really understand being a doer and the experiencer will not help you to get the happiness birth after birth.

So he is pointing the karma yoga,

The law of karma is also introduced.

If you continue to do,

So I am going little deviating,

It is a part of this verse but one of the most beautiful principle.

As long as I think I am the body,

I will continue to suffer,

There is no end of suffering.

And the moment I am the body,

I am the doer and I am the experiencer.

So the master says,

Non-thinking means I do not think rightly,

I do not put the right knowledge in my intellect and then I perform the action,

I suffer,

I have to suffer.

What is non-thinking means I do not want to understand the purpose of the body.

Now think of the body for a while,

You will understand that clearly.

Body is subjected to birth,

Growth,

Maturity,

Health,

Illness,

Old age,

Gone to the cremation ground.

Body is subjected,

Isn't it?

Whether it is this body or that body,

Whether you have the most beautiful body,

You are Miss Universe or you are Mr.

Universe,

The body is subjected to this.

Everyone's body is subjected to this.

So never create an inferiority complex that you don't have a beautiful body and don't be egoistic.

See that?

So now the mind is going inside.

So when the mind goes inside,

Body is an instrument but one more secret is there.

As long as the body is subjected to change,

I will continue to suffer.

And as long as it means what?

Do I want to add more suffering by being the doer and the experiencer?

This cycle continues because the more I become the doer and the experiencer,

I accumulate impressions that becomes the vasana and the vasana gives me the next birth again and again and again and again.

Drop this idea and wrong notion that I am the body.

So when we in the mind which is pure and clear,

You are doing for the sake of doing the way the child plays with the toy and sleeps,

Same way if we live our life in that way.

Not a tag of being a doer and the experiencer,

Karma yoga is done.

Live your life 100% today wherever you are living.

Living with your honey 100%.

Living without honey 100%.

You reach to the state of karma yoga where what happens?

You are dropping the wrong notion that you are the doer and the experiencer.

You are dropping the notion that this action today will bring permanent peace and happiness.

It has never happened.

It is not going to happen.

Why?

Master says karma is naturally defective.

Now I'm teaching you,

Some of you say what a crazy guy,

I don't understand.

So every karma has opposite reserve,

Profit and loss,

Victory and defeat,

Pain and pleasure.

You know,

Some of you say that's crazy,

I don't understand,

I don't believe you.

So that gives you a feeling of insert and some of you say oh what a great talk.

So pre-appreciation,

You see karma is the same.

So you get rid of these challenges,

You are just playing your role in the world and in that process of playing your role you are evolving,

You are moving towards self-discovery.

It can be done from today,

From here and now.

And the moment you have the right notion,

The right thought in the intellect and then it performs the karma.

Karma becomes a play and a joy.

Now we come to,

There are four or five verses,

Guidance to those people who are suffering.

Do you feel you are suffering?

Then only these verses are for you.

So the Krishna gives you a precise instructions what to do,

How to do.

It is a prescription for those people who are suffering and that lead us to the understanding of jnani-yuga,

The path of knowledge.

So now see the concept in the principle starts pouring into our mind from the master.

So what is the meaning?

The action of the three gunas.

What we studied in the previous verse that you are not the doer and the enjoyer.

So Krishna is proving why you are not a doer and enjoyer.

See that.

So it is a little deeper understanding but it is also a summary.

What is means,

Tragunya means three gunas,

What are the three gunas?

Sattva,

Rajas and tamas.

There are three qualities present in everything in the entire universe that is changing.

Body three gunas.

Mind three gunas.

And your house three gunas,

Your car three gunas.

Three guna,

Three guna,

The entire world is created out of the three gunas.

Sattva,

Rajas and tamas.

Sattva knowledge in the joy.

Rajas activity and indulgence.

Activity and indulgence,

Tamo guna,

In naughtiness and opposing the right knowledge.

Did you understand that?

Are you listening to me with a hundred percent attention,

With an intention to receive the knowledge,

Your mind is in sattva guna,

It will receive the knowledge,

What I have to do,

Whether you listen to me or you do not listen.

Masters of Eastern wisdom,

You know,

Are very carefree.

Now if your mind is full of indulgence while listening and restless,

What happens?

You don't listen to me,

Even if you are present physically.

It has nothing to do with you being a doer and the enjoyer.

It is happening because of the three gunas.

Can you stop your body to remain sweet sixteen?

It is happening because of three gunas.

Understanding that,

Understanding.

You see that?

Oh,

This body is subjected to the three gunas,

It has to be there.

Can I force myself to sleep?

No,

It is because of tamo guna.

Am I full of energy as enthusiasm?

It is because of rajo guna.

I have to simply understand and switch on and switch off mode.

I have to simply switch on the mode of sattva guna that helps you to receive the right knowledge within now.

Feeling sleepy and yawning,

Tamo guna.

See that?

If you see the Aurobindo's translation,

The action of the three gunas is the subject matter of the Eastern wisdom,

But do thou become free from the triple guna?

What I have to do?

Just go beyond the three gunas without the dualities ever based in the true being,

Without getting or having the just of the self.

You are already free.

You enjoy your life from here and now.

Three gunas.

Tretre gunya vishaya.

Now you understand beyond the three gunas.

Now I have understood the three gunas.

It is happening because of the world.

The car is running because of the four wheels and the engine and the fuel body is running because of the three gunas.

There is nothing I can add that I am a doer and I am the enjoyer.

It is happening because of the three gunas.

Hi,

Yes,

See that?

Aurobindo translation,

I have sent it.

Aurobindo translation of verse number 45 is this one.

So did you understand that?

So now first when you understand the three gunas and now you understand that these three gunas is a common factor,

Whatever is changing in the world.

That is why I cannot control to remain sweet 16.

Look at me and John.

John has little gray hair.

I have more.

I cannot stop it.

The first point of understanding.

So now once you understand it is all the play of the three gunas.

I become angry because of tamo guna.

If I rise from tamo guna to rajo guna,

The anger will be gone.

Now there will be a lot of excitement.

So I keep the enthusiasm.

I drop the indulgence.

I move to the sato guna.

So when I move to the sato guna,

Then I can transcend the sato guna.

I will live into the state of meditation here and now without practicing.

In karma yoga there is also a meditation.

So that is why he uses the word beyond the three gunas.

I am not going there.

There are a lot of things to be understood otherwise the entire hour will be used for only this verse.

So let us go to the verse number 26.

Verse number 26.

Yavanartha udapanesarvata samaplu loda ke tavan sarvesh videshu brahmanasya vijanata.

Now see as much use as there is in the well with the water and the flood on every site,

So much is there in all the Vedas,

All the Eastern wisdom for the Brahmin,

For the real self who has the knowledge.

So let us understand this verse also.

It says it addresses the seeker vijanat.

You are a beginner of yoga.

Leave aside for a while the Patanjali Yoga Sutra.

You are just a beginner of yoga and you blame the society,

The world outside,

You blame your honey.

Mind is still outside.

What should I do?

I should do karma yoga.

I should understand what is karma and I should leave the doer and the enjoyer ship.

So when I perform the karma leaving the idea of a wrong notion of being the doer and the enjoyer,

What happens?

By doing the karma yoga you are purifying the mind.

From there the real yoga begins.

So now those whose mind is not purified and you say let me sit in meditation,

Nothing will happen.

You will blame all teachers are crazy.

Why because the mind is subjected outside.

So it is karma yoga.

But then the mind is still distracted then the second level comes.

Second level comes what?

Upasana.

It is known as the word upasana.

Upasana means that in order to focus the mind you have to use the different mantra for the japa yoga in order to focus the mind.

So what the master is saying?

Now go to the verse.

The river is full of water.

You have to extract only that which is required in your life.

If you take access it will not help you.

If the teacher says teacher checks you maybe you can understand he takes the entire life history and he perceives that you are running after all those different activities in the life then he will guide you those practices of meditation which will help you to drop the wrong notions and purify the mind.

So meditation is one but has different steps.

That is one way to put it.

So what he says who has become so when you realize then you vijnanath.

Here the person being addressed is taken to be a self-realized master who has bought to the culmination the knowledge received.

The last word if you see vijnanath.

Now that person who is full of wisdom and the knowledge who understood this is what it is.

So the process is those who are suffering when people come to me I check them and I understand based on the Eastern psychology based on the Gita and I said okay this guy needs this.

One guy just came I have total insecurity.

I'm always crazy.

I have a lot of fears when I go to go outside with my pet my mind imagines that I both will be crushed by the car.

At the same time he says I am extremely smart and intelligent.

What kind of an intelligence you are?

That you constantly imagine that you are going to die you'll be crushed.

Where is the problem lies?

You are opposing the right knowledge.

So accordingly I have to give the practice.

Now I have stopped using the modern psychology for guiding people.

One of the most famous verse which is repeated by a lot of people and I think most of the American authors and Western people have reported this is the worst number.

27,

47.

Karmanne vadhi karaste ma phaleshu kadachana ma karma phal hetu bhurma te sangastu akarmani.

Now see do you keep that knowledge of the previous two sutras?

I believe so.

First sutra that we covered today,

I am not the doer and the enjoyer.

Second sutra karma phala fruits of the actions.

Third sutra the entire journey of this activities in the world is because of the three gunas.

We understood that.

Now come to this sutra.

Krishna says what?

Krishna our master says I have a right to choose action.

I have no right to choose its fruits.

So what should I do?

I am a Hollywood actor in today's life.

What the Hollywood actor does?

Play its role forgets it.

The Hollywood actor playing a role of a criminal and knocks the door and then tells his honey I am going to kill you I am a criminal.

Does he do that?

No.

So I am a teacher only for one hour let me play my role and finish.

Don't keep the tag that I am a teacher.

Do you see?

You are in front of the honey.

Play your role of being the best honey in the world.

Play your role does not mean you are making fun internally,

Intellectually with the wisdom you play your role,

Your duty.

Are you getting it?

The way the Hollywood actor karmanneva dekhar iste ma phaleshu forget about the fruit that you get.

I come to you and I say hey I love you how dare you love me.

Finished.

The result does not depend on me.

Why should I worry?

Karmanneva dekhar iste ma phaleshu kadachana let not the fruits of thy works be thy motive.

Shri Aurobindo's good translation.

It's not your don't keep that motive just live your life.

Play your role.

Become the Hollywood actor everywhere.

But you can only become the best Hollywood actor if you have the right knowledge in the head.

If you keep the wrong notion you cannot do that.

So the knowledge must also be there.

Neither let there be any attachment to the inactivity.

Now he is also saying he's warning.

He is warning.

Okay if you say that if I'm not the doer and the enjoyer then I will sleep 23 hours.

I will wake up only for one hour to do my daily chores.

I will eat the food and I'll sleep down.

So he is warning.

He is saying it does not mean that you fall into total letharginess or inactivity.

As long as I am given the body I have to act.

I have to live.

You cannot get out of the activity even for a single moment in your life.

Do you see that?

Well that is good.

Then keep in the mind become aware I'm not the doer I'm not the enjoyer it is all done by the three gunas.

Then what should I do?

Let me play my role,

Perform my action and enjoy your life.

The Hollywood actor when they perform their action they play their role they are not stressed.

They act as if they are in stress.

They are not killing anyone but they act as if they are killing.

See that.

Can I live start living that life?

A great message by the Gita.

Why you get into anxiety?

Because you have a certain motivation inside your head.

Motivation,

Unlimited desire fulfillment.

So you drop the motive.

Hey I love you so much and you come and say I hate you.

Finished.

Now I don't have any fruit not desiring any fruit but I understand why I made this statement I love you because I feel the hollowness inside.

Let me feel that hollowness and emptiness inside before I love anyone.

Now I see I love you I'm abundance.

Love is in abundance inside.

Don't think that the Buddha is doing or these great masters are doing some favor to us.

They reach to a state of awakening and they are full of love and compassion inside.

They cannot control it.

It pours down and we think as if they are very good.

They are you know showing the compassion.

It will happen to all of us also.

Karamani,

Karamani that is the message here.

See that.

Now let us go a little deeper.

Now comes beautiful definition of yoga.

After having laid down the basic principles.

Do you remember?

I am not the doer and the enjoyer.

Yes three gunas.

It all depends on the three gunas.

I give you one example.

You cannot stop the growth of this body.

We have tried.

We can be what we say when we try we say we can delay the aging process.

Now see the wrong notion inside it.

I am you are 80 years old.

You have delayed the aging process created a wrong notion in the mind with a lot of stuff on the face delayed the aging process and now you introduce yourself to me.

What introduction?

I have four kids and ten grandkids.

So I know your age.

What is the fun of delaying the aging process?

Won't you introduce me to your grandkids?

Yes and then I say I am 60 years old and you're mine.

She says oh my son is 60 then I know you're definitely your age.

I am delaying the aging process.

Come on don't live with the wrong notion.

You understand that?

You live with the wrong notion.

You are crazy then you have to suffer.

Don't tell.

Let us follow the American way.

Don't tell the real age but don't live with the wrong notion.

You see that?

So now after what a beautiful definition.

This is the real definition of yoga.

Yogastha Kuru Karamani 48 words.

Yogastha Kuru Karamani.

Samyam tyaktva dhananjaya siddha asiddhayu samobhutva samatvam yogucyate.

What is the definition of yoga?

Moving running with your two hands upside down.

That is not yoga.

Krishna is saying samatvam yogucyate.

What is yoga?

Samatvam.

What is samatvam?

Equanimity of the mind.

What is the equanimity of the mind?

This mind now is not at all influenced by anything happening outside,

Happening to the body.

Equanimity.

The mind that is not affected by likes and dislikes.

Success and failure.

This is what the master is saying.

Fixed in yoga.

Do thy action.

So fixed in yoga means in my mind there is an equanimity.

There is a peace.

Why there is a peace?

This mind is settled in yoga.

How it is settled in yoga?

It is not influenced and dictated by whatever is happening outside because it is subjected by the three gunas.

Can you recall the previous sutra?

It is subjected by the three gunas,

Three activities.

Does it belong to me?

No,

It belongs to the universe.

How I am performing an action?

I'm playing my role.

Not affected by victory and defeat,

Profit and loss.

Now see what the master is saying.

Yogastha kuru karmani.

My mind is settled in that state of equanimity and calmness.

Sangam tyaktwa dhananjaya.

Leaving all the attachment and detachment in the world,

Including the body,

Mind.

Siddha siddhayo means success and failure.

Today you like my talk.

Tomorrow you will say hell with you.

Both are good.

But if you are a seeker you will never say so.

That is also good.

Why?

Because you are evolving.

Siddha siddhayo.

No,

You advertise.

Intensive workshop for permanent peace.

80 dollars.

Money turns up.

You get upset.

That is no,

You are not settled in yoga.

You are not settled in yoga.

Honey I love you,

Honey says I hate you,

You are affected,

You are not in yoga.

Siddha asiddhayo samubhutva samatvam yoguchate.

Can you see that?

The kite is flying without the thread.

You have that life.

You have a total freedom.

So when it is attached to,

A thread means some attachment,

Mind is not in equanimity,

Some detachment,

The mind is not in equanimity.

What a beautiful verse.

What is a great definition of yoga?

Gastrakuru karmani sangam tyaktva dhananjaya Siddha siddhayo samubhutva samatvam yoguchate.

What a beautiful way to understand.

What is attachment?

This attachment will never come if the mind has no liking for a person or a thing.

But why there is a liking?

Ask yourself.

We do not think why we like,

Why we dislike.

So because of non-thinking,

Ignorance stays in the mind and the ignorance causes the suffering.

Can you tell me if you like yellow colour,

Why you like yellow?

Say for example,

John likes yellow,

Kate likes red.

You cannot give me an answer that why you like red and why you like yellow.

We don't think about it.

We just go mechanically and habitually.

It causes the attachment because of likes and dislikes.

The attachment and detachment causes the desire.

Desire prompts you to become the doer and the experiences which you are not because it is happening by the three gunas.

Are you getting it?

It is happening by the three gunas.

That is why I gave an example.

Can you remain sweet sixteen?

Show me.

After all,

Something is going to happen as the body grows.

Let me accept it gracefully.

Oh,

You have five grandchildren.

You look so young.

No,

You look crazy.

I have known your age 100%.

Do you see the wrong notion?

We carry that wrong notion.

That is why we don't have the equanimity of the mind.

I can tell you hundreds of examples.

Hundreds of examples in day to day life.

So when people come to me for guidance and coaching,

I check everything.

I check every statement and I align with these principles and I know where you stand for,

Why you have a problem.

I don't tell you because,

You know,

I have to keep some secret with me.

So let us go a little deeper.

Karma in Karma Yoga and Ordinary Life.

Now see,

So first there is that yoga that is explained is Gyan Yoga plus Karma Yoga.

But all is yoga.

You can even Patanjali has explained the same definition in different sutras.

Durin,

Hayavaram,

Karam,

The work are far inferior to yoga of intelligence.

Now see that.

Now understand another.

Look at the beauty and the,

I would say the subtleness or what you say,

The deeper understanding.

What you are saying?

Durin,

Hayavaram,

Karam,

The work are far inferior to yoga of intelligence.

Dhananjaya is the name of the seeker.

Baddho Sharanam,

Anavicakhrapanaphalhetava.

Works,

Action are far inferior to yoga of intelligence or you can put it yoga of knowledge.

O Dhananjaya,

Desire rather refuse in the intelligence.

Don't take a refuse in anxiety,

Stress,

Wrong notion,

Ignorance.

Means don't take any action without properly understanding.

When you understand this is the action I'm going to take and I'm not aspiring for any fruits of an action.

Let me play the role of an Hollywood actor here also.

Let me perform my role and be happy.

So when you perform your role,

You are always happy.

Rather refuse in the intelligence,

Poor and wretched souls are they who make the fruit of their work the object of their thoughts and activities.

So what happens?

I'm talking to you whether John will be happy or not.

Come on,

Pay your attention on your understanding and give a talk,

Finished.

Or whether Kate will leave me next week,

Later leave me.

Understand that,

Understand be clear.

So when I perform all my actions with a motivation inside,

With expectation inside,

I have started the journey of my stress and suffering.

Soon I have to take action tomorrow.

I have to meet Brandy tomorrow but I have lot of thoughts of expectations in my head.

What will happen?

I've already started anxiety and stress in my head until I meet her tomorrow and tomorrow when I meet,

She doesn't respond,

She reacts,

Everything is gone.

Then I return home with the frustration and suffering.

So what the Master is saying,

Works are far inferior to yoga of knowledge,

Yoga of understanding.

So I understand,

Let me play a role.

What is that role?

I have to meet Brandy tomorrow.

What is the agenda?

Here is the agenda,

Let me explain the agenda.

Not getting affected by anything.

Look at the beauty of the journey of yoga.

Sometime we have misconception,

I have to sit for one hour of meditation every day out of 23 hours that I have already decided to live in stress and then one hour becomes a burden.

Then I have to do this karma yoga.

I cannot succeed in meditation,

Forget about it.

When I have that motivation,

When I have those thoughts of wrong notions,

The Master says come on,

Follow the path of karma yoga but with understanding.

I'm giving very brief,

Every verse takes long.

You see that?

So what the Master is saying,

You are wretched.

You should be pity.

I should have pity on you because you are doing all your activities with a motive of expectation inside your head.

It is bound to make you suffer.

Meditation will come to your mind then what will happen?

You are performing a karma,

You will definitely get a result.

One.

Now you don't have any expectation,

You focus on the karma,

Your level of creativity will go up,

You will perform the action like a Hollywood actor,

Your creativity,

Your enthusiasm goes up,

You don't have that ego that you are doing that action,

It is bound to give you the best result possible.

Can it start happening from today?

It will take some time.

The knowledge is settled in the intellect slowly,

Knowledge is realized in stages,

The seed does not become a tree overnight.

That is why the karma yoga,

I have to perform my role.

Just now I heard,

Honey we will go to Costco,

Yes we will go.

Where is the problem?

I have to perform my role.

We'll buy the following stuff,

Yes we will buy it.

Where is the problem?

Now see that if your mind carries the impression of a fight that took place a month ago,

I don't have any fight,

I'm just citing an example,

Now that thought will pop up in your mind honey will you go to Costco?

I know I'm very busy and you have started the problem.

Did you understand?

This is what is happening,

So by performing the karma yoga it will take some time,

The seed does not become a tree overnight,

Knowledge has to be realized in stages.

See that,

See the beauty,

Let us go to another sutra.

Now let us go back to the sutra that is the definition of yoga.

Yogas takuru karmani sangam tyaktwa dhananjaya.

Such a beautiful,

I sing mentally,

I used to sing mentally and I said,

Oh where are you my mind,

My mind where are you,

Are you there,

Yes I'm there.

Why I'm performing an action,

No perform an action like a Hollywood actor so that the tag of you are the doer and the experiencer drops.

Why because this body is composed of the three gunas.

Profit loss,

Every karma has its result,

They are opposite in nature.

Profit loss,

Pain pleasure,

Success failure,

It is bound to be there in pairs of opposites.

So when it is happening the pairs of opposites then you don't own the ownership of these fruits,

Don't own,

No ownership.

Now there is no ownership,

Mind is free,

Success comes thank you,

Failure comes thank you,

I will do it again,

Profit comes thank you,

Loss comes thank you,

I will do it again.

Yogas takkuru karmani fixed in yoga,

How you fixed in yoga,

Samatvam equanimity of the mind or the intellect,

Whatever you say,

Samatvam,

Samatvam means equanimity but how come I settle in the state of equanimity,

I keep the world outside,

You remain outside,

Don't enter within me then where is the anxiety,

Where is the stress.

Honey says you are crazy,

Keep that sentence outside,

Tell your mind the world cannot affect me,

It comes in stages.

Did I tell you the story of the one great master who lived in South India and he still gave some corporate leadership program and the first sentence he says thousands of people gathered there,

So thousands he tells you know stand up,

Now you say to me that you are crazy.

See the way to make you understand the moment everyone says you are a crazy master and he shows his both the hands,

The moment everyone says crazy he cleanses the fist,

He laughs and he says that sentence I have caught in my fist I prevented it to enter into my head and the heart.

One example someone says you are crazy,

He or she cannot give you a certificate,

Why to worry?

Now apply the same in your house you are happy,

Apply in relationship you are happy,

You cannot have a big face,

Samattham,

One pointer to the samattham.

Second pointer to the samattham when I understand that this attachment and detachment,

The liking and disliking is a part of the ignorance,

It has nothing to do with the knowledge.

Then what happens?

Then the mind is not craving for what it likes,

Mind is not reacting to what it dislikes,

It does not lead you to unlimited desires.

Then you are not affected by success in the failure,

Profit in the loss.

Samattham equanimity is yoga,

Simple word,

Simple definition but when equanimity is yoga when the mind is centered in the knowledge,

Yoga stha,

Kuru karmani sangam tektwa dharanjaya but if we are crazy then the mind makes us crazy because we are affected by it,

We are not in equanimity.

Samobhutva,

Siddha yo,

Samobhutva,

Link it.

Why we have a body?

We have a body because of the previous birth,

Previous birth we had lot of sanskaras,

The impressions,

This is an epitome,

Replica of all my past impressions needs to be exhausted in this.

So now I think that I am the body,

It means I am the doer and the enjoyer.

See there,

Pay attention to this.

So if I am the doer and the enjoyer then what happens?

Mind says when you are the doer and enjoyer then I like John,

I don't like Brandy so likes and dislikes will enter.

This is an example,

I like everyone,

I love everyone.

You see that likes and dislikes will come.

Now this mind constantly pops up with the likes and dislikes which causes the attachment and detachment.

Now you are constantly,

Your mind is in the mode of attachment and detachment.

So what will happen?

We will use the same example,

John and Brandy both are there.

My mind naturally escapes from Brandy,

Will move near to John.

See that,

See the example.

So what is happening?

I am creating the repulse of impressions,

Repulse of impressions,

Impressions,

Impressions,

Impressions,

Constantly I am depositing,

I am accumulating.

What is the cause of all this stuff in the mind?

It is non-thinking.

I am not thinking what I am doing and I claim I am very intelligent.

Master is hammering,

Krishna is hammering on our head.

I am thinking what I will get by liking one or disliking one.

Tell me,

Do you like hot or cold?

If you say that you like cold,

It means you like to live in a temperature zero or below zero,

Right?

You like hot,

Maybe 50,

60,

70.

It is the same thermometer.

There are no opposites.

Same thermometer.

Going down cold,

Going up hot.

Going down dislike,

Going up likes.

Going down failure,

Going up success.

It is only one thing.

Can I see that?

When I see that I am already in the state of equanimity.

Very good.

Success or failure,

Profit or loss,

Pain and pleasure.

This is what the master is saying.

Samattham yogacchate.

Samo bhutva.

Success and failure,

It is a barometer,

Same thermometer.

It is located in the same straight line.

Do you see that?

Do you see it as a truth?

How can you see it when you think over it?

You drop the wrong notion.

Today there is a failure,

I recognize it.

Let me focus again,

Continue my journey in the spirit of peace and happiness.

Why?

I cannot stop doing karma but I will do the karma without the burden of being the doer and the enjoyer so that I remain,

My mind remains in peace and happiness.

From today itself and I can tell you with home you have grudges against,

Those grudges will drop.

From today itself,

How can you prove that it is 100 degree,

It is 0 degree,

They are opposite.

Are they really opposite?

In a language,

In a communication language they appear opposite,

They are same.

Less heat means,

Less hot means cold.

Less cold means hot,

Degree.

Less calmness,

Anxiety.

Less anxiety is calmness.

This is what the master is.

How it happens by the three gunas?

This is what is.
