All qualities in us manifest from Shri Krishna, He says look, when some quality manifests in people to an exceptional extent, it is My power that is enabling it, I am the ability in humans.

Consider this intellect of ours, now sometimes you realize that this intellect is getting enhanced by some power, when He wishes someone to succeed in business, he enhances that person's intellect there, so you find that this guy is otherwise quite less intelligent
but how come he's got such amazing business acumen based on his past sanskars which he doesn't know but God knows, God gave the karmic results and enhanced the ability to earn money, well likewise God may want certain changes to happen in the world

when kripaluji Maharaj’s video first started coming on TV, I was in charge of his video editing department and it was a complete mess because there were three formats around the world, there was the pal format, the ccam format, and the ntsc format and changing from one video format to other was a horrendous thing because of the difference in the number of frames per second
and that got me wondering that supposing that kind of mess had happened in the computer field where there were multiple successful operating systems it would have been so chaotic for the world to interact with one another,

is it possible that God enhanced the brain of Bill Gates to make him succeed in such a big way that Windows became the dominating system worldwide, to reduce this kind of confusion, so sometimes God wants things to happen

like the British may take credit for having conquered the world but Swami Vivekanand felt that they don't deserve the credit, he said the purpose of the British Empire was only to tie the world in one language and if you think about it there's something to it

someone asked Maharishi Shri Aurobindo, how come once India was at the top and then after that it became the Middle East, Greece and then moved on from there to Rome and then Portugal and Portugal disappeared in Spain and from Spain to France to England and then America and then back now, then China and now back to India.
What is all this ? He said God's plans are inconceivable, He lifts one area, drops the other etc so when He wants something to happen, He gives the intellect & He says I am the intellect in humans.

Shree Krishna is the Knowledge in Humans, I am that knowledge that enables you to distinguish spiritual things, spiritual wealth from Material wealth, right from wrong.

Shree Krishna Provides us the Clarity of Mind; again He says I am Asammohan, - the freedom from confusion, do you have that experience of clarity ?
some people have it to a tremendous extent like Einstein did and he said if you cannot explain something easily enough, you don't understand it clearly enough. So he (Einstein) was free from Asammohan (confusion).

Whereas a little mosquito it went on its first flight around and when it came back to the parents, they said how was your first flight, he said so amazing, wherever I went, people were clapping for me but that was his confusion.

Ability to Forgive comes from Shree Krishna Shri Krishna says the ability to see clearly comes from Me and the ability to forgive, forgiveness requires so much of spiritual maturity, forgiveness is one of the most difficult things,
people can give up attachment but they are unable to give up bitterness over the wounds that God created in their hearts and yet some people possess this ability
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=449

and one of them was Nelson Mandela because for a couple of hundred years a particular class of people had practiced Apartheid in South Africa which was totally irrelevant to the modern world and they persisted with it and he was leading the movement against it.
They hurt him so badly they threw him in jail for 27 years in the harsh South African winters, he would wear a skimpy shirt and half pants for all they gave him and he was made to break lime in the quarry where his eyes literally got blinded but he was still free from bitterness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=492
13
and later on when it became evident that Apartheid would be removed and Nelson Mandela would take over the new state, that country was on the brink of a civil war, imagine the pent-up hatred in people of all the victimization and discrimination that had been meted out to them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=544
14
and here was a person completely able to forgive and he steered the country away from civil war. He was asked on the 60-minute show in the United States that when you walked out of prison did you not feel bitter for what they did to you for 27 years ?
He said you know I realized that I will need to throw this away completely, to do the work that I am ordained to do by God so that ability to forgive and move on which is essential to everyone for Spiritual progress without which you can never progress because you remain pinned down, Shri Krishna says that comes from Me

Shree Krishna enables us to Control our Senses, He also says from Me comes the satya, the truth, “Dum” (दम) the Restraint of the senses, the senses are always hankering for their objects and yet human beings somehow or the other, they develop the ability to pull them back and one such person who had that ability to an astonishing extent was Arjun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=630
16
now Arjun's foster father was Indra, we all know his mother was Kunti, so he went to meet Indra in the Celestial Abodes and Indra of course spoke to Arjun but he thought that Arjun needs some entertainment at night, so he instructed the most attractive of his apsaras, Urvashi to go to Arjun at night and Urvashi reached arjun's chamber and knocked,
Arjun said maata (mother), at night you are here ? Urvashi was shocked, he had called her mother, she said I have come to give you joy, he said impossible, you are the mistress of my father how can I accept you ?
He rejected an Apsara from Swarglok, how can a human being have that kind of sense control ? Shri Krishna says Arjun, I empower people like that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=667
17
Shree Krishna helps us develop Self-Restraint He goes on further, He says I am also the restraint so “Dum” is the control of the senses Shree Krishna enables us to Control our Mind, “Shum” is the control of the mind, when you feel angry, is it better to vent your anger or to subdue it ?

One person was at the flight counter when all of a sudden the announcement started flashing that the flight has been cancelled and when he came to check in the clerk said I'm sorry sir, the flight has been cancelled and that sent him into a rage, he said what a lousy Airlines you are, how could this happen to me,
I had such a meeting and he started banging upon the desk and no matter what the clerk would say he was not willing to cool down ;
behind him was another passenger that passenger said, sir I am noticing that you are banging on this for the last 3 minutes but it's not helping, why don't you do one thing, you speak to the clerk, I'll bang for you, that annoyed him he left and the clerk said sir that was a very funny joke of yours,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=770
19
nevertheless this guy said I am so sorry my flight is cancelled but I have an important meeting in the evening, can you please arrange for something else for me ? do I need to go to another Airlines or do you have a contact ?
they said sir we do have the connections, give me a couple of minutes, I'll see what can be done and she put him on another flight, so was it better to be angry or to be solution oriented ? this ability to control the mind, Shri Krishna says, it comes from Me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=827

The perception of Self comes from Shree Krishna, He says bhava I am the perception of the self what is your perception of the self ? do you have awareness of your defects ? can you take stock of where you are ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=860

one monk used to carry a mirror in his luggage, so from time to time he'd pull it out and take a look and that was very irksome to some of his devotees and they said guruji, you are supposed to be free from bodily consciousness and why do you from time to time take a look at the mirror ? the college teenagers they do that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=879
22
Once one lady came and sat in my prachan and every 2 minutes she would put her hair like this, because it was short cut, so it would come in front and then she'd lift it up, so I said devi ji, why don't you just tie it up behind she said Swami ji this is a particular hairstyle, it's called flick, so I have to keep flicking it, now for teenagers it's all right it's acceptable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=909
23
but guruji why do you do it why do you see yourself in the mirror ? Guruji said whenever there's a difficult situation, I take a look to remind myself that who is the culprit, where do I need to work upon,
I remind myself not to be a part of the problem but to be a part of the solution The awareness of Self comes from Shree Krishna his awareness of the self, where am I ? what are my emotions ? what am I doing ? Shri Krishna says that is coming from Me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=938
24
Ability to Face Difficulties and Live comes from Shree Krishna, He is also saying that the Abhava, the experience of death, the fear of death itself. This fear of death is there in everyone and it is ensuring that we continue to live despite the difficulties this is called “jivesna”, the natural desire to live.
If somebody is in miseries, he says how terrible my life has become, if I die it'll be better, now you go and place your hands on his neck, he will say what are you doing ? tell him, you said if I die it'll be better, I'm going to help you. No no no no, I was just saying it out of frustration, I don't want to die, nobody wants to die
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=972
25
the patient who is on the hospital bed, unable to walk to the restroom, has a bed pan, cannot eat, has a tube going in, the leg is hanging from the roof, that patient also says doctor, I hope I will not die.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=1032
26
Why this yearning to live, fear of death. God has made it that way so you don't chicken out in front of the struggles of life, you continue to bear with the karmas, clear the account, learn the lessons to lead a better life in the afterlife, so Shri Krishna says that look Arjun all these qualities are coming from Me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=1053
27
but does that mean that we should not try to cultivate them because we heard That only by His grace, can you know Him - both are necessary, your efforts and His grace. God helps those who help themselves.
Napoleon Bonaparte, who was one of the finest Generals in Europe, his philosophy was when you pray pray as if it depends on God but when you fight, fight as if it depends on you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=1086
28
So that is exactly what Vashisht told Ram “verse”, externally do your best but internally remind yourself it's all God's grace that allows it to happen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCuhMGsBc4M&t=1130
29
so Shri Krishna has started telling Arjun his vibhuties (opulences) and how will these vibhuties help us cultivate devotion in our heart, He will soon be telling us and continue the description of these vibhuties, we look forward to savoring these by His grace and by your effort
