NO Situation Can Trouble You When you Realize this - Shree Krishna's Wisdom | Swami Mukundananda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs Full Text 1 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 verse 16 Translation, those who are indifferent to worldly gain, externally and internally pure, skillful, without cares, untroubled and free from selfishness in all undertakings, such devotees of mine are very dear to me. How not to get troubled by problems of life ? And God says don't worry, everything is under My dominion, you just do your bit and you leave the rest to Me, so the devote is without care, so let us make a resolve, you touch your neighbor on the shoulder and say from today that “I will be without care” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=19 2 now the last point in this verse he said “gata vyatha”, it means those who are untroubled, it's the same thing being expressed in different ways, so those who are untroubled. Problems will always be there, there is no question of having life without problems but to be troubled by them that is the choice we have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=160 3 one wife, she told her husband at night, she said darling, I think a thief has entered the home, go and check the living room. He went into the living room and there he found himself looking into the barrel of the gun and the thief said, give me all that you have, so the man said, sure with pleasure, but before you go, please come and meet my wife, she has been expecting you for the last 30 years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=195 4 so this is a matter of attitude, problems will always be there, but do you choose to be troubled or do you choose not to be troubled ? Now don't tell your neighbor, tell yourself, I will not be troubled, no matter whatever comes my way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=242 5 now why is it that we are troubled ? is there anybody here who doesn't have two sets of clothes to wear ? No, is there anybody here who doesn't have two roties to eat ? No, then why are you troubled ? The reason we are troubled is that we compare, see the people in India are comparing, oh my cousin is in America, my cousin is in Go-lok, I'm in India, how can I be happy ? And the people in America, are they happy ? No, I am living in Erwin in that apartment and my friend is living in Allen in a big house, how can I be happy in the apartment ? so the person in the big house is saying that my friend has got five bedrooms and I have got only three bedrooms, so we are always comparing and this comparison is stealing our joy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=283 6 An experiment was carried out with monkeys, the monkey, it would be given a marble and if the monkey handed the marble to the researcher, the monkey would be given one piece of cucumber and the monkey would be so happy, take the marble and give it to the researcher until the monkey saw that the other monkey is being given a grape, then the monkey got so annoyed it took that cucumber and threw it, it was perfectly happy and now there is a comparison going on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=350 7 so what has happened in the modern day world, this comparison has moved online, this is called “fear of missing out for more”, you compare that my friend has got so many “likes” and I've got less “likes”, so everybody is putting on their best appearance online and the others think, oh this guy's life is so wonderful, this person is living a fantasy Life online, so this comparison is causing all the trouble, otherwise there is no need to be troubled, what is the need ? you are living in the most opulent country of the world, you've got it all made, so that is why if we can just “Run your Own Race” - Shree Krishna’s Advice, decide that I will run my own race you will stop comparing and you will find peace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=390 Transcript Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 verse 16 0:16 PR 0:19 translation those who are indifferent to 0:23 worldly 0:25 gain externally and internally pure 0:31 skillful without cares untroubled and 0:35 free from 0:37 selfishness in all 0:39 undertakings such devotees of mine are 0:43 very dear to me How not to Get Troubled by Problems of Life?
