Week 19 , Bhagwat Gita Chapter 6 (Shlokas 15-28) Chants

Friend welcome back , in this week we have covered the why and how of disciplined mind. As promised i am sharing my three critical Learnings . I have also changed the background of video with the art work which i did over the weekend . Hope you like the same and keep adding your comments. Have a great week ahead.

Three Critical Learnings.

1. Mind should be discipline by withdrawing from cravings and absorbing in self or uniting with self. One who has no controls over senses like eating , sleeping , mating , working etc.. will not be able to discipline his mind.

2. Happiness can be achieved by disciplined and calm mind. Controlled mind is not shaken in the midst of the greatest calamity.

3. Restrain the senses , renouncing all desire with conviction and intellect to make mind calm.

Kshetragya (the knower of the ‘field’)--various arguements

Chapter 13, shloka 1-4 Kshetragya (the knower of the ‘field’) This body is the ‘kshetra’ (the field/site), and the one who knows the body is the one to be called ‘Kshetragnya’. The Kshetragnya and the one who nourishes all the kshetras is but me only, and to know the kshetra and the kshetragnya is the true knowledge. Tells Krishna; there have been a lot of discussions in scriptures and various arguments among sages about who this kshetra belongs to but there is no unanimity on the same. Gyaneshwara comments on various arguments and discussions about the kshetra; Those who are believers in the theory of karma say that the entire kshetra is under the control of ‘jivatma’(the embodied soul) and is managed by the prana(the life force). The four types of airs- apaana, vyaana, udaana and samaana put a lot of effort into sustaining prana while the mind enquires and supervises them. The five sense organs and five action organs are like tools in the hands of the jivatma,...

The doubtlessness and the bhakti

Chapter 12, shloka 1-14 क्लेशोऽधिकतरस्तेषामव्यक्तासक्तचेतसाम् || अव्यक्ता हि गतिर्दु:खं देहवद्भिरवाप्यते || 5 || kleśho ’dhikataras te ṣ h ā m avyakt ā sakta-chetas ā m avyakt ā hi gatir du ḥ kha ṁ dehavadbhir av ā pyate Those who try to attain the unexpressed Brahm, have to go through bhakti (the devotion). And in the absence of bhakti, they are tangled in the indulgences like attaining the position of Indra (the king of deities) and acquiring spiritual powers (Riddhi and siddhi). Such seekers have to face chaos created by lust and anger and thus are unequipped to take the spiritual journey as they take pride in their bodies and cannot attain the formless. Thus, bhakti is mandatory when one is seeking the unexpressed Brahm. When you give up those karmas that are forbidden, detach yourself from the result of the actions and surrender your manovrutti (the tendencies) to me; it is then that the attention flows towards me through body, mind, and action.
