Main Points: 

1  do Paap (sin) go to the nether regions (hell), do punya (pious deeds) go to Swarg, I do mixture of both then come here to this world, reject all three get liberated, reject liberation as well, get bhakti, so all this is available only to human beings not to the devtas, why not ? does anybody know ? why can't the devatas get all of these options ?  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=0        2  That is Bhog yoni which means whatever punyas you did, you go up to Swarg, you enjoy the fruits and they keep getting Depleted, then slowly slowly you come down to the material world like you know like the satellite goes up and then slowly runs out of power, it comes down, so that is what our scriptures are saying  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=36       3  it's like you put a million dollars in the bank and every week you were withdrawing 10,000 and when it's all gone you present the cheque, cashier says sorry sir you won't get anything, it's all been Withdrawn, so I have become zero. Likewise when you do materal dharma, you go up to Swarg, you reap the benefits and once they are depleted, Shri Krishna says Arjun once punyas are ksheen (क्षीण) ,i.e., depleted, you will come back to Mrityu Lok  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=62 4  Arjun asked Krishna, when I come back to Mrityu lok, will I become Arjun again ? No guarantee, you could go into dog species or cat species, Arjun says Maharaj then I don't want to go to Swarg, I'm not interested  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=114  5  so this ability for it's called “Purusharth”, the freedom to do fruit bearing karmas, it is not granted to the others (including Devtas) it is granted only to humans  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=136  6  for the lower creatures yonis (animals, birds, fish, trees etc) it is an automatic promotion, if you are in one species, next you will be in slightly better species, BUT for the upper ones (yonis, species) it's an automatic demotion (,i.e., if you do not Purusharth etc., you automatically keep going down to lower species).  In the human form only, you have all pathways open (go to hell or go to Swarg or come back to this world or go to God’s Abode never to come back to this material world) - this is the “Purusharth” that a human being only can do (not even Devtas)  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=154  7  so to attain God, you need two Things, the first is Gyan Shakti and the second is the “Purusharth” – ability and freedom to do “Purusharth”. These two points are only available to humans, hence when devtas see human beings, they repent that if I ever become a human again, I'll not try to come to Swarg, I'll do bhakti and attain God  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=180 8  so that is why Kripalu ji maharaj says that this kind of human form you have got, but remember it is temporary and you need to put it to good use, he says that O Soul, having received such a form, you are asleep, you don't realize that time is passing. Ok now, we have understood the importance of the human form, now we need to understand the “garbar” (गड़बड़) in it  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=212 9  what is the “garbar” (गड़बड़), that it is temporary. The biggest mistake we do is postponement, you know when we listen to satsang of saints we nod our head yes yes, what you are saying is correct that I should go to God, but afterwards he say you know I should go to God but not today I'll do it later.  Some people after the satsang say yes, yes you know but if God wants we will go to Him, If God wants, I'll come for the satsang, so they put the fault on God.  Others say when the time comes, I will do it, it is not my fault but it is the fault of time. Yet others say if it is written in my destiny, I will do it, so it is the fault of destiny. some people say Swami you are very right but Maya is so strong what can I do, they blame Maya and the consequence is that they don't do it  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=254 10  so alongside with the importance of something, you need to understand that this is always a Moving Target. people say you know Swami ji you are very right but right now I'm only 20 years old this is not the age for bhakti, you come after 10 years I will definitely do Bhakti.  After 10 years Swami went back now do you have time, I have just got married and I have got one child at home, you come after 15 years I'll sure have time. Swami returned after 15 years, now you have time ?  I have to get my daughter married, my son settled after 10 years, then I will be retired I will do Radhey Radhey. Swami ji came again after 10 years are you retired ? you know Swami ji right now my son is kacha (कच्चा, raw) in his business, so I have to sit at his shop. Are baba will ever a time come for bhakti?  You will always say My son/daughter is kacha (कच्चा, raw) in this way, we people make excuses, I will do it, I will do it and in this not one lifetime but many life times have passed  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=335  11  But this is not the first time we have listened to the lecture of saints, we have become human beings earlier also innumerable times & we have listened to such messages Earlier also but we wasted away the chance because of postponement, so we need to know now that it is a limited time slot available to us.  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=445  12  Dasharth ji Maharaj (father of Lord Rama), he was once combing his hair & he noticed little white hair on his head, he said oh my God old age is coming this body is made of mud and the mud is now slipping.   Factually your body reaches a peak at 20, it sustains itself till 30, then it starts getting unhinged, first 1% at a time then 2% then 3% until as a 60 year old people say start what is happening to my memory, this is the law of the world, this is the nature of the Body, so Dashrath Maharaj said you know I must now hand over the kingdom to Rama and go into the jungle and do sadhna  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=472  13 we people we don't take the signal that the hair is becoming white, there are there are “dyes” available to make it black, again teeth are falling off, stop eating pan (पान), but people don't Listen, beta, go get a pan (पान) kootne vala (कूटने वाला), you know grind my pan (पान) and get it to Me. God has made these as Nivritti ke prateek (निवृत्ति के प्रतीक) that means there are indications the end is near like for example if you go to Andhra and in the meal dahi bhaat comes you understand it's the last item, likewise God has given signals कि भई अब तो सावधान हो जा  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=572  14  Dashrath ji developed vairagya from that little bit of white hair and Kripalu ji maharaj is saying oh Soul you are not listening. Interestingly, there is no guarantee that we will grow old because there is no guarantee how long we will live  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=629  15  Listen to  The example of the Brahman who came to Yudhishthira and said Maharaj, I need for my daughter's marriage some daan, Yudhishthira was a charitable King….how Yudhishthira told him to come next day for daan & Bhimsen, younger brother told all the world to celebrate that Yudhishthira has conquered death. Then Yudhishthira realized his folly & immediately gave charity to the Brahmin, not postponing it to next day  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=653  16  so Kripalu ji maharaj says that you are asleep O Soul and Kal (TIME) is chopping Away. Lakshman told Guharaj that all the souls in this world are asleep, this not a physical sleep, it is the sleep of ignorance and in that sleep they are dreaming away, I am Prime Minister, I am Senator, I am Governor - when you wake up from that it's all dispelled - so who is awake ? Lakshman says to Guharaj “Know the soul to be awake when it is detached from the objects of the senses”  https://youtu.be/-ccnBZxLwgA&t=771   Transcript 0:00 do Paap go to the 0:03 nether regions (hell), do punya go to Swarg, I do mixture of both 0:07 come 0:08 here to this world, reject all three get liberated 0:11 reject liberation as well 0:15 get bhakti, so all this is 0:19 available only to human beings not to 0:26 the devtas, why not ? does anybody know ? why 0:31 can't the devatas get all of these 0:36 options ? that is 0:38 Bhog yoni good 0:41 answer Bhog yoni means whatever punyas you did you go up 0:46 you 0:47 enjoy the fruits and they keep getting 0:51 depleted then slowly slowly slowly you 0:53 come 0:54 down you know like the satellite goes up 0:56 and then slowly slowly runs out of power 0:58 it comes down 1:01 so that is what our scriptures are 1:02 saying it's 1:04 like you put a million dollars in the 1:08 bank and every week you were 1:11 withdrawing 1:13 10,000 and when it's all gone you 1:16 present the check cashier says sorry sir 1:19 you won't get anything won't get 1:21 anything I put $1 million it's all been 1:24 withdrawn so I have become zero you have 1:29 likewise 1:34 when you do 1:36 materal dharma, you go up you reap the benefits 1:41 and once they are depleted so Shri 1:43 Krishna says 1:49 Arjun once it is ksheen (क्षीण) ,i.e., depleted, you will come back 1:54 to Mrityu lok, Arjun said Krishna when I come back 1:57 to Mrityu lok, will I become Arjun again ? 2:01 no 2:03 guarantee, you could go into dog species 2:06 cat 2:08 species, Arjun says Maharaj then I don't want to 2:10 go to Swarg, you go I'm not 2:14 Interested 2:16 so this ability for it's called 2:20 “Purusharth”, the freedom to do fruit bearing 2:26 karmas, it is not granted to the others (including Devtas) it 2:31 is granted to 2:34 humans for the lower 2:37 creatures it is an automatic 2:40 promotion you in this species now you are here, 2:43 now you are here now go there, 2:46 here for the upper ones (yonis, species) it's an 2:49 automatic 2:51 demotion and the human form you have all 2:56 Pathways open this is the “Purusharth” 3:00 so to attain 3:02 God you need two 3:04 things the first is Gyan Shakti 3:08 and the second is the “Purusharth”ability 3:13 freedom to do “Purusharth” 3:15 these two points are only available 3:19 to 3:20 humans hence when devtas see human 3:25 beings they repent if I ever become a 3:29 human again I'll not try to come to 3:32 Swarg, I'll do bhakti and attain God so that is 3:37 why Kripalu ji maharaj here is saying this kind of 3:41 human form you have got but remember it 3:46 is temporary and you need to put it to 3:49 good 3:51 use now he 3:53 says that O Soul having received such a 3:57 form you are asleep 4:00 you don't realize that time is passing 4:05 we have understood the importance of 4:09 the human form now we need to understand 4:12 the “garbar” (गड़बड़) in 4:14 it  what is the “garbar” (गड़बड़)  4:20 it is 4:23 temporary the biggest mistake we 4:26 do is postponement 4:31 you know when we listen to satsang of 4:34 saints we nod our head yes yes what you 4:37 Are saying is correct I should go to 4:42 God but afterwards he say you know I 4:45 should go to God but not 4:49 today I'll do it later 4:52 on some people after the satsang they 4:55 have a meeting yes yes you know but if 4:58 God wants we will go to 5:02 Him 5:06 If God wants I'll come for 5:08 the satsang, so they put the fault on 5:11 God others say when the time comes I 5:14 will do it it is not my fault it is the 5:16 fault of time others say if it 5:19 is written in my destiny I will do it so 5:23 it is the fault of Destiny some people 5:25 say Swami you are very right but Maya is 5:28 so strong what can I do 5:30 they blame Maya and the consequence is 5:34 that they don't do 5:35 it so alongside with the importance of 5:40 something you need to understand that 5:44 this is a moving 5:48 Target now Swami has been you know 5:53 preaching since 40 years he went to one 5:56 town and said people said you know 6:00 Swami ji you are very right but right now 6:03 I'm only 20 years old this is not the 6:05 age for 6:06 bhakti you come after 10 years I will 6:10 definitely do 6:12 bhakti after 10 years Swami went back now 6:17 do you have 6:18 time I have just gotten married and I 6:22 have got one child at 6:25 home you come after 15 years I'll sure 6:29 have 6:31 time returned after 15 years now you 6:35 have time I have to get my daughter 6:38 married my son settled after 10 years 6:41 then I will be retired I will do Radhey Radhey 6:44 all 6:46 day Swami ji came again after 10 years are you 6:49 retired you know Swami ji right now my 6:53 son is kacha (कच्चा, raw) in his 6:56 business so I have to sit at his shop 7:01 are baba will ever a time come when he'll 7:04 become your father you will always say 7:08 he's kacha (कच्चा, raw) 7:09 in this way we people make excuses I 7:15 will do it I will do it and in this not 7:21 one lifetime but many life times have 7:24 passed 7:25 by this is not the first time we have 7:28 listened to the lecture of saints we have 7:31 become human beings earlier we have 7:33 listened to such messages 7:35 earlier but we wasted away the chance 7:40 because of 7:43 postponement so we need to know 7:47 now that it is a limited 7:52 slot Dasharth ji 7:55 Maharaj he was once combing his hair 8:06 you know the hair close to the 8:10 ears first becomes 8:12 white because you apply soap there so it 8:15 becomes white so 8:35 he saw the hair growing white and he 8:37 said oh my 8:39 God old age is 8:42 coming this body is made of mud and the 8:45 mud is now slipping 8:49 Factually your body reaches a 8:53 Peak at 8:55 20 it sustains itself till 30 9:00 then it starts getting 9:02 unhinged first 1% at a time then 2% then 9:08 3% until as a 60 year old people say 9:11 start what is happening to my memory 9:13 Swami ji 9:14 this is the law of the world this is 9:17 the nature of the 9:19 body 9:21 so Dashrath Maharaj said you know I must now 9:26 hand over the kingdom to Rama and go into 9:29 the jungle and do 9:32 sadhna we people we don't take that 9:38 signal the hair is becoming white there 9:41 are there are “dyes” available to make it black 9:47 again teeth are falling off stop eating 9:51 pan (पान) now people don't 9:54 listen 9:56 beta, go get  a pan (पान) kootne vala (कूटने वाला),  you know grind my  pan (पान) and get it to 10:00 me God has made these 10:05 as Nivritti ke prateek (निवृत्ति के प्रतीक) that means there are indications the 10:09 end is 10:11 near like for example if you go to Andhra 10:15 and in the meal dahi bhaat comes you understand 10:19 it's the last item 10:21 right likewise God has given 10:28 signals कि भई अब तो सावधान हो जा so 10:29 Dashrath he developed vairagya from that little 10:33 bit and Kripalu ji maharaj is saying oh 10:38 Soul you are not 10:42 listening 10:44 interestingly there is no guarantee that 10:47 we will grow 10:49 old because there is no guarantee how 10:52 long we will 10:53 live you have heard the 10:56 example of the Brahman who came to Yudhishthira 11:00 and said Maharaj I have to get I 11:03 need for my daughter's marriage 11:06 some daan, Yudhishthira was a charitable King he said sure 11:10 come 11:11 tomorrow Bhimsen heard it be instructed the 11:16 Prime Minister let there be a 11:19 celebration Bhimsen is the now the king's 11:23 Brother all right the Prime Minister 11:25 told the senapati the senapati 11:28 instructed the soldiers and the whole 11:29 celebration began in the 11:32 town and Yudhishthira looked and saw what's going 11:35 on this is neither Diwali nor Holi 11:37 what's going on he asked someone they 11:40 said the soldiers have told us he asked 11:42 the soldiers they said the Commander in 11:44 Chief he asked him he said the Prime 11:46 Minister as the prime minister said it is your 11:48 brother Bhimsen has told 11:52 us so Yudhishthira owed said what is the 11:58 celebration about 12:00 Bhimsen  12:01 said you have conquered  12:05 12:09 death conquered death yeah that today 12:12 the Brahman came and he said that I want 12:17 a charity and you said come tomorrow so 12:20 you are the only person in the three 12:23 worlds who has a guarantee that I will 12:26 be alive tomorrow you have conquered 12:28 death 12:30 we are having the celebration now Yudhishthira 12:33 realized his folly you know that 12:37 time is like that death is like that any 12:40 moment everybody is taken by 12:43 surprise he said call the Brahman we'll 12:46 do it right away my brother is fat in 12:48 body but thin in the 12:51 head so he says that you are asleep oh 12:56 soul and Kal (TIME) is chopping 13:02 away so now he 13:04 says that you are 13:06 sleeping oh Soul you are 13:11 sleeping Lakshman told Guharaj 13:19 that all the souls in this world are 13:22 asleep what is this this not a physical 13:26 sleep it is the sleep of ignorance 13:34 and in that sleep they are dreaming 13:38 away I 13:40 am 13:43 councilman I am 13:46 Senator I am 13:49 Governor when you wake up from that 13:53 it's all 13:55 dispelled so who is awake 13:59 Lakshman says to Guharaj 14:14 “Know the soul to be awake when it is 14:18 detached from the objects of the 14:23 senses”

The FASTEST Way to Clear your BAD KARMA - Secrets of Srimad-Bhagavatham by Swami Mukundanand

The FASTEST Way to Clear your BAD KARMA - Secrets of Srimad-Bhagavatham by Swami Mukundanand

https://youtu.be/lkYyRwmq9ug Main Points: 1  I have a question, how to change our destiny ? Can doing puja or astrological predictions can change our destiny and also how can we clear our negative past Karmas ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkYyRwmq9ug&t=6  2  The negative past karmas have prescribed processes for their clearance which is called “prayschit”, the word for it in Sanskrit, is penitence. You did a sin, do the penance and it will be destroyed, but the problem is that we all have had endless lifetimes and we have done endless negative karmas (sins) in all these lives, how much penance are you going to do to destroy them all ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkYyRwmq9ug&t=26  3  Dhritrashtra, after the Mahabharat war, asked Lord Krishna, he said, I am an old man and a hundred of my sons have died in my lifetime, what sin did I do to suffer this karmic reaction, so Lord Krishna said you did not do any such karma in this life, what about your past life ? Dhritrashtra had the boon he remembered his past three lives, he said that he has not done any such sin in last 3 lives BUT Krishna said you do not remember your sins of earlier lives & it all is the result of that.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkYyRwmq9ug&t=74  4  Your karmas are from endless past lifetimes, they are called sanchit karmas, now with the help of puja and prayschit, if you wish to destroy these karmas, you will have to keep doing these for lifetimes and infinity minus infinity is still infinity, there will be no end to it, suppose let us say for a moment that you were able to destroy all the past negative karmas but the heart is still not cleansed  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkYyRwmq9ug&t=126  5  It is like somebody does a sin and goes to jail, by fulfilling his jail term, the sin is destroyed, in the eyes of society that person is no longer a criminal but the heart is still unclean. He comes out and does the sin again. In fact sitting in jail people keep planning okay when we go out you join my gang & I will join your gang, so the heart is not cleansed and even if the heart is cleansed, the cause for the unclean heart is the agyan, the ignorance  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkYyRwmq9ug&t=165  6  So if we wish to get rid of the whole problem, we need to do bhakti, as bhakti will destroy your karmas of past lives, and it will clean your heart and it will remove the ignorance which is the reason for the unclean heart. Just like fog is destroyed by the rising sun, similarly all the negative karmas of past lives, they will be burnt away if you engage in purified selfless bhakti, that is the way to do it and change your destiny.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkYyRwmq9ug&t=207  Transcript 0:06 i have a question 0:07 that how to change our destiny 0:11 can doing puja or astrological 0:15 predictions 0:16 can change our destiny and also 0:20 how can we clear our negative past 0:23 karmas thank you 0:26 the negative past karmas have 0:30 prescribed processes for their clearance 0:34 which is called “prayschit” 0:37 the word for it in sanskrit is penitence 0:41 “Verse” 0:44 you did a sin do the penance and it will 0:48 be destroyed 0:51 but the problem is we all have had 0:55 endless lifetimes and we have done 0:59 endless negative karmas in all these 1:02 lives 1:04 now how much penance are you going to do 1:07 to destroy them all 1:14 Dhritrashtra, after the Mahabharat war,  asked Lord Krishna 1:17 he said i am an old man 1:21 and a hundred of my sons have died in my 1:24 lifetime 1:26 what sin did i do to suffer this karmic 1:29 reaction 1:31 so lord krishna said you did not do any 1:34 such karma in this life 1:36 what about your past life 1:39 Dhritrashtra had the boon he remembered his past 1:42 three lives he said no in the last 1:44 life also i didn't do any such thing 1:47 lord krishna said the life before no 1:50 the life before that not there as well 1:54 lord krishna said what about the life 1:56 prior to it 1:57 he said i don't remember shri krishna 2:00 said 2:02 you only remember three of your lives 2:06 your karmas are from endless 2:09 past lifetimes they are called sanchit 2:13 karmas 2:15 now with the help of puja and prayschit if 2:19 you 2:20 wish to destroy these karmas you will 2:23 have to keep doing these for lifetimes 2:26 and infinity minus infinity is still 2:29 infinity 2:30 there will be no end to it suppose 2:33 let us say for a moment that you were 2:36 able to destroy 2:37 all the past negative karmas 2:40 the heart is still not cleansed 2:45 it's like somebody does a sin and goes 2:48 to jail 2:50 by fulfilling his jail term the sin is 2:54 destroyed 2:55 in the eyes of society that person is no 2:59 longer a criminal 3:00 but the heart is unclean he comes out 3:04 and does the sin again in fact sitting 3:07 in jail people keep planning 3:09 okay when we go out you join my gang i 3:11 will join your gang 3:13 so the heart is not cleansed and even if 3:17 the heart is cleansed 3:20 the cause for the unclean heart is the 3:23 agyan, the ignorance 3:27 so if we wish to get rid of the whole 3:31 problem we need to do 3:35 bhakti as bhakti 3:38 will destroy your karmas of past lives 3:42 it will clean your heart 3:46 and it will remove the ignorance which 3:50 is the reason 3:51 for the unclean heart 3:58 again 4:06 that just like fog 4:09 is destroyed by the rising sun 4:12 similarly all the negative karmas of 4:16 past lives 4:18 they will be burnt away if you 4:21 engage in purified selfless 4:25 bhakti that is the way to do it 4:28 and change your destiny Standby link (in case youtube link does not work): The FASTEST Way to Clear your BAD KARMA - Secrets of Srimad-Bhagavatham by Swami Mukundananda.mp4

Bhagavad Gita - When All HOPE Is LOST Watch THIS! The Most Eye Opening 15 Minutes by Swami Mukundanand

Bhagavad Gita - When All HOPE Is LOST Watch THIS! The Most Eye Opening 15 Minutes by Swami Mukundanand 

https://youtu.be/lHtC5lO70bQ

*Main Points*: 1  one young lady got married to a naval officer, after marriage she was accompanying her husband on her first voyage in the sea, unfortunately the ship got caught in terrible, storm it was getting tossed by the waves on the high seas and that created tremendous fear amongst all the passengers, the lady's husband, the naval officer was the captain of the ship, he was completely calm and peaceful, She was astonished at his equipoise and said my dear husband when everybody is besieged by fear, how is it that you are able to attain such calm  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=3  2  the husband took out his sword from the sheath and placed the naked blade on his wife's head, he said darling, are you feeling scared ? The wife smiled why should I feel scared, I have got the blade on your head it can go through your skull you're not scared ? She said my dear husband, sword is in your hands & you are my well-wisher, I have complete faith that you will always work for my protection then why should I be scared ? The husband said in the same way I have complete faith that God is my well-wisher and this ship is in His hands & He will always protect me  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=66  3  whatever God does will be for my well-being protection doesn't mean that my material luxury should remain. I have faith that He is my benefactor, so the third point in surrender is exactly this, “verse” of BHAKTI RASĀMRITA SINDHU “To desire only in accordance with the desire of God; not to desire against the desire of God. To have firm faith that God is protecting us” the BHAKTI RASĀMRITA SINDHU states to have faith that God is my protector, that fearlessness is the sign of “sharnagati”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=125  4  Listen to this incident of Mahabharat, wherein Bisham Pitamah vowed to kill arjuna the next day, but when Krishna went to Arjuna to console him at midnight at 2am, Arjuna was deep asleep, as he was not worried for his own life, as he had complete faith in Krishna’s protection for him  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=173  5  to help you understand such knowledge which is otherwise so vast and esoteric (intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest), I have explained it simply in this recently published book, the Science of Mind Management, with the help of scriptural quotations, crystal clear logic and real life examples, I am sure you will benefit from it  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=360  6  even in the world, a father takes care of a child & if the child says, father, will you give me bread tomorrow ? The father will say what is wrong with him, does he doubt whether I'll feed him or not ? Our scriptures says that Lord is Vishwambhar (all-sustaining or the one who sustains the universe) as He is taking care of all the living beings in the world  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=390  7  you don't find elephants going hungry, these elephants are such big creatures they eat enormous amounts but God has ensured that they get what they need for their sustenance. Swami ji relates incidents of his Ashram at Orissa reg. elephants & their sharp memories God is also taking care of the little ants and also birds So I would often be curious, being a student of science, I would ponder how did these ants come to know that there is cashew nut on top of the table because there were no ants visible in the room, and this cashew doesn't have any smell worth talking about, I would often ask scientists and elders, how does the ant come to know. When nobody was able to give an answer then I concluded for myself that God is sitting inside the ant and inspiring it  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=430  8  I have heard that once mother Lakshmi was pressing the feet of Lord Vishnu & She wanted to check the power of Lord to feed the ants – she deliberately enclosed one ant in a little box & closed it. When she opened the little box in the morning, she was shocked that the ant was live, having fed on a little grain left in the box by mistake. Listen for details..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=642  9  The Lord is taking care of all living beings & when we surrender to Him, don't you think He is going to take even more care of us. That faith,  that trust is what sharanagati is all about. In the Bhagavad-Gita Lord Krishna says Arjun “There are those who always think of Me and engage in exclusive devotion to Me. To them, whose minds are always absorbed in Me, I provide what they lack and preserve what they already possess.” httvedabase.io/en/library/bg/9/22/  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=774  10  Although I am taking care of everyone in General, those who do My “sharanagati” who engage in my unalloyed (pure, ,i.e., ananya , अनन्य who worship & love Me alone, none else) devotion, I maintain their yog kshem (क्षेम) yoga — requirements; kṣemam — protection; So what does yog mean, yog means whatever spiritual asset they need for success in sadhana but they do not possess, I arrange for them to develop or receive it. And kshem (क्षेम) means what spiritual virtues they have acquired over lifetimes, I ensure that they are able to protect it  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=815  11  The extent to which we progress in our surrender, to that extent, this faith will keep growing and to that extent we will become fearless, so this faith that I am surrendering to God and He is taking care of me, this is the third aspect of “surrender” (शरणागती)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHtC5lO70bQ&t=867  Transcript 0:03 one young lady 0:05 got married to a naval officer 0:09 after marriage she was accompanying her 0:12 husband on her first voyage in the sea 0:18 unfortunately 0:20 the ship got caught in terrible 0:24 storm it was getting tossed by the waves 0:29 on the high seas and that created 0:32 tremendous fear amongst all the 0:35 passengers 0:37 the lady's husband the naval officer was 0:42 the captain of the ship 0:45 he was completely calm and peaceful 0:50 she was astonished at his equipoise  0:53 and said my dear husband when everybody 0:57 is besieged by fear 1:00 how is it that you are able to attain 1:03 such calm 1:06 the husband took out his sword from the 1:10 sheath and placed the naked blade on his 1:14 wife's head 1:15 he said darling 1:17 are you feeling scared 1:20 the wife smiled why should I feel scared 1:24 I have got the blade on your head it can 1:27 go through your skull you're not scared 1:31 she said my dear husband 1:34 sword is in your hands you are my 1:38 well-wisher I have complete faith that 1:43 you will always work for my protection 1:46 then why should I be scared 1:49 the husband said in the same way I have 1:53 complete faith that God is my 1:57 well-wisher and this ship is in his 2:00 hands 2:02 he will always protect me 2:05 whatever he does will be for my 2:08 well-being protection doesn't mean that 2:12 my material luxury should remain 2:15 I have faith that he is my benefactor 2:21 so 2:23 the third point in surrender 2:26 is exactly this 2:29 “verse” of BHAKTI RASĀMRITA SINDHU “To desire only in accordance with the desire of God; not to desire against the desire of God. To have firm faith that God is protecting us” 2:37 the BHAKTI RASĀMRITA SINDHU states 2:40 to have faith that God is my protector 2:47 that fearlessness is the sign of “sharnagati” 2:53 just like Arjun was surrendered to Lord 2:57 Krishna and what was the consequence 2:59 during the Battle of Mahabharata when 3:03 duryodhan taunted 3:06 Grand sire bhishma that you are being 3:09 lenient with the pandavas if you wished 3:13 you could have killed him 3:15 bhishma felt insulted and he made a 3:20 resolve tomorrow by Sunset I will either 3:24 slay their best warrior Arjun 3:27 or else to protect him Lord 3:31 Krishna will have to break his vow and 3:35 lift weapons in this war 3:39 when the war ended that day in the 3:42 evening at dusk as was the rule in those 3:45 Days “Dharm Yudh” 3:47 even though War would be according to 3:50 rules 3:51 the news spread amidst the pond of enemy camp 3:56 that bhishma pitama had resolved to slay 4:01 Arjun the next day by sunset 4:05 everybody fell into deep gloom what will 4:09 happen tomorrow 4:12 Lord Krishna was also contemplating over 4:16 the situation and thinking about it  4:20 It became two o’ clock in the night 4:24 suddenly he thought 4:27 if I am so concerned about arjun's death 4:32 how worried he must be let me go and 4:35 console him 4:37 so he got out of his tent and walked 4:40 over to the tent where Arjun was 4:43 supposedly sleeping 4:45 Lord Krishna heard sounds of snoring 4:50 My my  so peaceful, he shook his friend 4:55 and said parth 4:57 Arjun said 4:59 Maharaj at this time in the night what 5:03 is the matter 5:04 Shri Krishna said have you not heard of 5:08 the resolve made by bhishma 5:11 Arjun said yes Maharaj I also received 5:14 the WhatsApp message 5:16 Shri Krishna said are you not concerned 5:19 worried about it 5:22 Arjun said my Lord 5:25 for my protection 5:27 if you are so worried that till two in 5:31 the morning you are unable to sleep 5:34 then why should I worry 5:41 let me do my best 5:45 and have full faith he is taking care of 5:48 me because ultimately that is all we can 5:51 do 5:52 strive to do the utmost in our actions 6:00 to help you understand such knowledge 6:03 which is otherwise so vast and esoteric (intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest) 6:07 I have explained it simply in this 6:11 recently published book the Science of 6:15 Mind Management with the help of 6:18 scriptural quotations Crystal Clear 6:21 logic and real life examples I am sure 6:26 you will benefit from it 6:30 even in the world 6:32 a father takes care of a child if the 6:36 child says father will you give me bread 6:38 tomorrow 6:40 the father will say what is wrong with 6:42 him does he doubt whether I'll feed him 6:44 or not 6:46 our scriptures says 7:00 that Lord is Vishwambhar (all-sustaining or the one who sustains the universe) he is taking care of 7:06 all the living beings in the world 7:10 you don't find elephants going hungry 7:14 these elephants are such big creatures 7:18 they eat enormous amounts but 7:22 God has ensured that they get what they 7:27 need for their sustenance 7:29 you know our ashram in India in Orissa 7:32 is an elephant country by the side is a 7:37 Forest Reserve 7:38 and every once in a while many times a 7:41 year the elephants walk in 7:43 they eat the cabbages and go away 7:46 that is when I came to study elephants 7:50 from Close Quarters and I understood so 7:53 many interesting things 7:55 firstly God has given them tremendous 7:58 memories why because their size makes 8:03 them vulnerable when they enter the 8:05 Village People will start throwing 8:07 things but now people know 8:10 that if I so much as throw a stone on 8:14 the elephant it will remember me for 8:16 life 8:17 and there have been episodes when the 8:20 elephant returned after many years and 8:24 remembering the person lifted and killed 8:27 that person that is why people are 8:29 scared of attacking these creatures and 8:33 then again if they revisit the same 8:36 place for fodder, people will be 8:38 prepared so they go to a different 8:41 location 8:43 every day of the year and their memory 8:47 acts to their benefit where they can 8:50 remember 8:51 365 routes 8:54 so God is taking care of these huge 9:00 creatures he's also taking care of the 9:04 little ants 9:05 growing up in India we often had this 9:09 experience that if a little bit of food 9:11 got left somewhere on the shelf or the 9:14 table after six hours you would find a 9:19 row of ants coming to take it away 9:23 so I would often be curious 9:27 being a student of science I would 9:30 Ponder how did these ants come to know 9:33 that there is cashew nut on top of the 9:35 table 9:37 because there were no ants visible in 9:39 the room 9:41 and this cashew doesn't have any smell 9:43 worth talking about 9:46 I would often ask scientists and Elders 9:50 how does the ant come to know 9:53 where nobody was able to give an answer 9:56 then I concluded for myself that God is 10:02 sitting inside the ant and inspiring it 10:06 climb this wooden leg you will find food 10:10 for yourself on top. 10:13 this is vishwambhar the Lord who takes 10:18 care of all living beings the Bible puts 10:23 it so well look at the birds in the 10:25 field they neither plow the land nor sow 10:29 the seeds nor reap and harvest nor store 10:32 away in Barns and yet our heavenly 10:36 father feeds them 10:39 are you not more than they 10:42 I have heard 10:45 that once mother Lakshmi 10:49 was pressing the feet of Lord Vishnu as 10:53 he lay on Anantashesh in the ocean of 10:57 milk 10:59 that was her daily Seva to her Divine 11:03 husband the Supreme lord of the universe 11:11 So, Lord Vishnu suddenly exclaimed to Lakshmi I have to 11:15 do so much of work in this world 11:20 Lakshmi said Maharaja you have to do so 11:23 much of work but all I see is that you 11:26 keep lying in this bed and I keep 11:29 pressing your feet at least I am doing 11:31 more work than you are 11:33 Lord Vishnu said Lakshmi this is my 11:36 external form my Leela internally I am 11:41 sitting in everyone's heart says as 11:43 paramatma 11:45 maintaining the universe 11:48 taking care of their needs noting their 11:52 karmas giving the results 11:56 Lakshmi thought let me put my husband's 11:59 words to test 12:01 next day in the morning 12:04 she got a little ant and she placed the 12:08 ant in a small jewel case 12:12 while she was doing her shringar 12:15 and closed the lid thinking let's see my 12:19 husband's prowess in protecting this 12:22 little ant 12:24 apparently it was without food all day 12:28 long 12:28 but at night when Lakshmi Devi opened 12:31 the lid of the jewel case she discovered 12:34 the ant was hail and hearty and strong 12:38 unknown to her a little grain of rice 12:42 from her head from the Puja had fallen 12:46 into the case and provided fodder to the 12:49 ant for the day, so do you see if 12:52 millions of ants there have died of 12:54 hunger ? the Lord is taking care of all 12:59 living beings when we surrender to him 13:03 don't you think he's going to take even 13:06 more care of us 13:09 That faith,  13:11 that trust is what sharanagati is all 13:16 about 13:18 in the bhagavad-gita Lord Krishna says 13:33 he says Arjun “There are those who always think of Me and engage in exclusive devotion to Me. To them, whose minds are always absorbed in Me, I provide what they lack and preserve what they already possess.” https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/9/22/ 13:35 although I am taking care of everyone in 13:39 general 13:40 those who do my sharanagati 13:45 who engage in my unalloyed (pure, ,i.e., ananya , अनन्य who worship & love Me alone, none else) devotion 13:52 I maintain their yog kshem (क्षेम) yoga — requirements; kṣemam — protection; 13:56 so what does yog mean 14:00 yog means whatever spiritual asset they 14:03 need for success in sadhana but they do 14:07 not possess 14:08 I arrange for them to develop or 14:11 receive it 14:13 and kshem (क्षेम) means what spiritual virtues 14:17 they have acquired over lifetimes 14:21 I ensure that they are able to protect 14:25 It 14:27 the extent to which we progress in our 14:31 surrender 14:32 to that extent this faith will keep 14:36 growing and to that extent we will 14:40 become Fearless 14:42 so this faith that I am surrendering to 14:47 God and he is taking care of me this is 14:52 the third aspect of “surrender” (शरणागती)

BG 4.23 | ONE Powerful Sign of Your Krishna Consciousness | Bhagavad Gita Inspiration by Swami Mukundanand

https://youtu.be/U2dpXAbLUQI

Main Points:   1  Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 Verse 23 Translation by Swami Mukundananda “The work of a man who is unattached to the modes of material nature and who is fully situated in transcendental knowledge merges entirely into transcendence”.  https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/4/23/  They are released from the bondage of material attachments and their intellect is established in divine knowledge since they perform all actions as a sacrifice to God, they are freed from all karmic reactions   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=47   2  Krishna is now concluding this topic of working in Divine Consciousness, He says that such saintly persons, first of all they create a Divine Vacuum (of detachment from world) within themselves   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=89  3  how do you pump up the water from a hand pump, you have to create a vacuum, listen to example of one person who went to an Indian village    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=109  4  that is how the rain also falls, when it is getting very hot,  soon the rain comes because the heat causes the air to rise and that results in a vacuum and the vacuum pulls the moisture from the ocean, and then the clouds and then the rain downpour   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=189  5  so likewise, if you want the downpour of divine grace, then you have to create a vacuum in your heart, this is the vacuum of detachment, if you want the grace of God to come, then detach yourself mentally from the world    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=229  6  we people want “दोनों हाथ में लड्डू”,  I want all my worldly attachments to remain intact and I also want God to grace me with Divine love, God says this will not happen, you will have to create that vacuum but Remember, He is not saying you run away from the world, He is saying take the world out from inside of your mind   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=252  7  the world, per se, is not bad -  our attachment to it is causing the problem   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=284  8  listen to another exampln one hall, there was a practice session going on  the stage of an orchestra and likewise a carpenter was also doing his work..   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=294  9  if orchestra is disturbing carpenter or is it vice versa ? so who is disturbing whom, likewise we have the world on the outside, and the world inside of us, so our illusion is that the world on the outside is disturbing me, as most people say, you know it is my relatives, who are the cause of my BP going up etc and we blame all the outside world for all my tension & anxiety  but the Bhagavad-Gita says no it is all inside you, your own tension caused because of attachment and attachment is leading to expectations and then disappointments on not fulfilling of the expectations   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=356  10 the saints are also in the same world, and they're not experiencing any tension, it's not that they are living on a colony in Mars, they are also living in the same world and yet they are free from anxiety   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=401  11  Listen to the example of  one king, who had a guru who used to live in the forest - this shows the guru even though stayed with all the material possessions, was able to keep his mind detached from all the material possessions BUT the king was not able to do so   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=419  12 detachment of the mind from worldly possessions & persons, in any way, is the internal state of mind, this is what the Bhagavad-Gita is talking about and so many people in the world   miss out on this vital point (you do not have to actually lose the material possessions but only get your mind detached from these, so that their loss does not affect our loving devotion to God)   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=588  13  Listen to the examples of Phalahari babas (who eat only fruits), Doodhahari baba (drinks only milk), Pavanahari baba (does not eat anything except air), Mauni baba (has taken a vow of silence for several years) etc. - these mere external parameters  of detachment do not give the certificate of God realization   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=604  14   so this is external vairagya,   this is not the parameter for  renunciation  otherwise, the animals are more renounced  than us,  is it not that the monkeys live on the trees ?  they don't sleep in luxury beds, the  goats eat only leaves,  the donkey puts ashes all over itself,  the snake it stays alive for so many  days merely on the air,  if external renunciation could result in  God realization, all these animals would  have achieved God but it is always and  always only the mind which is the cause  of our Bondage (to be reborn & die again & again in this material world in any of 84 lakh yonis) and Liberation   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=684   15   so for such saintly people (who keep their minds attached to God), the mind  is detached, their intellect is  established in Divine knowledge,  now Shri Krishna says they are doing  every work  as an act of sacrifice to the Supreme, so  this is the Seva Bhav, the act of sacrifice to God   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dpXAbLUQI&t=735  Transcript Intro 0:03 the world per se (in itself) is not bad 0:07 our attachment to it is causing the 0:10 problem 0:11 it is always and always only the mind 0:17 which is the cause of bondage and 0:21 Liberation 0:23 bhagavad-gita chapter 4 verse chanting 0:26 is followed by translation and 0:29 commentary by Swami mukundananda Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 Verse 23 Chanting 0:47 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 Verse 23 Translation by Swami Mukundananda 0:59 they are released from the bondage of 1:04 material attachments 1:06 and their intellect is established in 1:11 Divine knowledge 1:13 since they perform all actions as a 1:17 sacrifice to God 1:19 they are freed from all karmic reactions Commentary by Swami Mukundananda 1:29 he is now 1:31 concluding this topic 1:34 of working in Divine Consciousness he 1:39 says such saintly persons 1:42 first of all they create a Divine vacuum 1:46 within themselves 1:49 how do you pump up the water 1:52 you have to create a vacuum 1:55 one person went to an Indian village for 1:58 the first time 2:00 from California 2:02 he had never seen a hand pump 2:05 it was his grandfather's Village 2:09 so they all went to sleep at night and 2:12 the morning 2:13 he thought he will have tap water for 2:16 his bath his grandfather said you know 2:19 you have to pump it from here these two 2:22 buckets you can fill and take them 2:24 inside and have a bath 2:26 so he tried pumping and nothing was 2:29 happening 2:30 so he said there's no water coming out 2:33 Grandfather said keep on at it so he 2:37 kept on pumping 10 times till nothing 2:39 carry on Don't Stop 2:42 now after 30 times that vacuum had been 2:47 created in the pipe and the water 2:50 started coming out his grandfather said 2:53 now keep pumping don't stop and the 2:56 water was flowing out in full force 3:00 so to get the pump to draw out water 3:04 from the well you have to have the 3:07 vacuum 3:09 that is how the rain also falls 3:13 people were telling me on the East Coast 3:16 I forget which of those cities it was 3:19 because the last one month I went to 3:21 eight cities 3:24 so one of the Cities they were telling 3:26 me swamiji said it's getting hot they 3:28 said swamiji the moment it gets hot very 3:31 soon the rain comes 3:33 because the heat causes the air to rise 3:37 and that results in a vacuum 3:39 and the vacuum pulls the moisture from 3:44 the ocean 3:45 and then the clouds and then the rain 3:48 downpour 3:49 so likewise if you want the downpour of 3:53 divine grace 3:56 then you have to create a vacuum in your 3:59 heart 4:00 this is the vacuum of detachment 4:05 if you want the grace of God to come 4:09 then detach yourself 4:12 we people say दोनों हाथ में लड्डू  4:16 I want all my worldly attachments to 4:20 remain intact and I also want God to 4:24 grace me with Divine love 4:26 God says this will not happen 4:29 you will have to create that vacuum but 4:33 remember he is not saying you run away 4:36 from the world 4:38 he is saying take the world out from 4:41 inside of you  4:44 the world per se is not bad 4:48 our attachment to it is causing the 4:51 problem 4:53 once 4:54 in one Hall 4:58 there was a practice session going on on 5:00 the stage of an orchestra 5:03 and likewise a carpenter was also doing 5:07 his work by the side because the 5:10 maintenance had to be done 5:12 so here 5:14 the orchestra 5:17 they are trying their best now they want 5:21 all the harmonics to be just perfect and 5:24 there the carpenter is going tak tak 5:27 tak 5:28 the moment he would start 5:31 the director of the orchestra would look 5:33 at the carpenter the carpenter would 5:36 look at the director 5:39 then again they would exchange glances 5:43 after a few minutes the carpenter put it 5:45 down 5:46 and he said to the director look you 5:49 guys are disturbing me you can carry 5:52 on 5:56 so who is disturbing whom 6:00 likewise we have the world on the 6:03 outside 6:04 and the world inside of us 6:07 so our illusion is the world on the 6:10 outside is disturbing me you know it is 6:13 my relatives who are the cause of my BP 6:15 going up etc and it is always the 6:18 outside world 6:19 why are you so tense and anxious it is 6:22 because of him because of her because of 6:23 this because of that 6:25 but the bhagavad-gita says no 6:28 it is all inside you your own tension 6:32 caused because of attachment and 6:36 attachment is leading to expectations 6:39 and then disappointments  6:41 the Saints are also in the same world 6:44 and they're not experiencing any tension 6:47 it's not that they are living on a 6:49 colony in Mars they are also living in 6:52 the same world 6:53 and yet they are free from anxiety 6:59 once 7:00 one king 7:03 he had a guru who used to live in the 7:06 forest 7:08 so the king 7:10 motivated by desire to serve 7:14 went to the guru and then offered him a 7:17 silver plate 7:19 and to honor the disciples Seva bhav 7:23 the guru started eating from the silver 7:25 plate 7:27 then the king's heart you know he is my 7:29 Guru he should drive around in a good 7:32 car so he presented him with a nice car 7:35 and slowly The Possessions started 7:37 increasing 7:39 until finally he made a palace for the 7:41 guru just like he had for himself 7:45 so the guru now was living in a palace 7:48 just like the King was 7:52 all the opulence everywhere 7:55 the doubt entered the king's mind 8:00 the king said 8:02 gurudev now 8:05 there is no difference between you and 8:07 me 8:09 because I am living in luxury and so are 8:12 you 8:15 genuine doubt 8:17 many people have that doubt 8:20 so the guruji he smiled 8:24 he told his disciples beta let's take a 8:26 walk in the forest 8:29 he said all right 8:31 they started walking in the forest 8:33 they went for an hour the king said 8:35 guruji when will we turn around 8:37 let's take a round - continue walking a 8:40 little further 8:42 they continued walking after half an 8:44 hour the king said guruji are we going 8:46 to turn around 8:48 the guru said you know what is the hurry 8:50 let's keep walking 8:52 they walked another one hour 8:54 now the King was getting really anxious 8:57 he said gurudev are we not going to get 8:59 back 9:00 the guru said what is the need for 9:02 getting back let us live out here in the 9:04 jungle the king said guruji how is that 9:07 possible I've got my queen I've got my 9:09 children I've got my dog etc everything 9:14 Guru said beta that is the difference 9:16 between you and me 9:18 you said there is no difference between 9:20 you and me we are both living in the 9:22 same Palace that is the difference 9:25 for me there is no difference between 9:28 the palace and the jungle because I have 9:31 no attachment 9:32 wherever the Lord wants me to be I will 9:35 be you presented me all these things and 9:39 to respect to strengthen yourself I 9:42 accepted them but it doesn't mean that 9:45 it has affected my attachment my 9:48 detachment in any way 9:51 so the internal state is what the 9:56 bhagavad-gita is talking about 9:58 and so many people in the world they 10:01 miss out on this point 10:04 this is Phalahari baba 10:08 How many Phalahari Babas are there in India 10:10 what does he do he eats only fruit so he 10:13 Is Phalahari baba 10:15 but tell me there are so many animals 10:18 that eat only fruit so just by eating a 10:21 fruit is that a sign of some spiritual 10:23 elevation and this Baba he is Doodhahari baba 10:28 he only drinks milk so he is more senior 10:31 than Phalahari baba 10:33 and this Baba 10:35 he is Pavanahari he eats nothing he only 10:38 does pranayama then he's got the 10:40 certificate of God realization 10:43 so if we take these external parameters 10:47 of Detachment he is Mauni baba 10:51 see the most convenient thing when you 10:53 become a baba people will come and ask 10:55 you questions and if you don't have 10:57 knowledge of the scriptures you become a 10:59 Mauni baba take the wow of Silence 11:02 now the disciples will say 11:06 our guruji knows a lot but he's under 12 11:09 year vow of Silence 11:12 after 12 years extend it for another 12 11:14 years 11:15 after that another 12 years and after 11:18 that there will be so many thousands of 11:20 disciples even if people come to know I 11:22 don't know who cares about it and then 11:24 so this is external vairagya  11:28 this is not the parameter for 11:31 renunciation 11:33 otherwise the animals are more renounced 11:37 than us 11:39 is it not that the monkeys live on the trees 11:43 they don't sleep in luxury beds the 11:46 goats eat only leaves 11:49 the donkey puts ashes all over itself 11:52 the snake it stays alive for so many 11:55 days merely on the air 11:59 if external renunciation could result in 12:03 God realization all these animals would 12:06 have achieved God but it is always and 12:10 always only the mind which is the cause 12:15 of bondage and Liberation so the mind 12:20 is detached their intellect is 12:24 established in Divine knowledge 12:28 now Shri Krishna says they are doing 12:32 every work 12:34 as an act of sacrifice to the Supreme so 12:39 this is the Seva Bhav the act of sacrifice 12:45 then what becomes of their consciousness 12:50 he is going to explain in the next verse
