SURRENDER COMPLETELY TO GOD WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION #Blog0047


SURRENDER  COMPLETELY TO GOD WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION      

निष्काम भाव से  सम्पूर्ण  समर्पण   
 

अब सौंप दिया इस जीवन का,   सब भार तुम्हारे हाथों में

है जीत तुम्हारे हाथों में और हार तुम्हारे हाथों में॥           

मेरा निश्चय है बस एक यही, एक बार तुम्हे पा जाऊं मैं

अर्पण करदूँ दुनिया भर का सब प्यार तुम्हारे हाथों में॥           

 

 

जो जग में रहूँ तो ऐसे रहूँ, जैसे जल में कमल का फूल रहे

मेरे सब गुण दोष समर्पित हों, करतार तुम्हारे हाथों में॥           


यदि मानव का मुझे जन्म मिले तो, तेरे चरणों का पुजारी बनूँ

 इस पूजा की एक एक रग का हो तार तुम्हारे हाथों में॥           


जब जब संसार का कैदी बनू, निष्काम भाव से कऱम करूँ

फिर अंत समय में प्राण तजूं, निराकार तुम्हारे हाथों में॥           

 

मुझ में तुझ में बस भेद यही मैं, नर हूँ तुम नारायण हो

मैं हूँ संसार के हाथों में, संसार तुम्हारे हाथों में॥

Gita shloka 3.19, ONE SHOULD ACT AS A MATTER OF DUTY WITHOUT BEING ATTACHED TO THE FRUITS OF ACTIVITIES, 24th June

 

Gita shloka 3.19, one should act as a matter of duty without being attached to the fruits of activities

TRANSLATION

Therefore, without being attached to the fruits of activities, one should act as a matter of duty; for by working without attachment, one attains the Supreme.

PURPORT

The Supreme is the Personality of 

Godhead 

for the devotees, and liberation for the 

impersonalist.


A person, therefore, acting for Kṛṣṇa, or in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, under proper guidance and without attachment to the result of the work, is certainly making progress toward the supreme goal of life.


Arjuna is told that he should fight in the Battle of Kuruketra for the interest of Kṛṣṇa because Kṛṣṇa wanted him to fight.


To be a good man or a nonviolent man is a

personal attachment, but to act on 

behalf of the Supreme is to act without 

attachment for the result.


That is perfect action of the highest degree, recommended by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa.


Vedic rituals, like prescribed sacrifices, are performed for purification of impious activities that were performed in the field of sense gratification.


But action in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is transcendental to the reactions of good or evil work.


A Kṛṣṇa conscious person has no attachment for the result but acts on behalf of Kṛṣṇa alone.


He engages in all kinds of activities, but is 

completely non attached.

HOW WAS THE LIFE, HAVE WE EVER PONDERED OVER THIS? DID I MEET MY DESIRED OBJECTIVE/PURPOSE IN LIFE? #Blog0046


It is good to ask children “How was the day today?”               

For we adults, a more relevant & worthwhile question to ask would be : 

“HOW WAS THE LIFE”               

Did I meet my desired objective/purpose in life?               

Did I come to know WHO I AM & WHY I WAS SENT HERE IN HUMAN FORM BY SOME SUPER POWER - was it only for fun & मस्ती day in day out, having picnics / parties, was it for worrying all the time for kids education & their jobs, for our health, getting all sorts of headaches, body pains & viruses, was it only for eating, sleeping, mating & defending, getting old, diseased & die?                 

Or Did we miss connecting the dots…..?         

WHEN WE HAVE TO ATTEND, SAY A MARRIAGE FUNCTION, HOW MANY DAYS IN ADVANCE DO WE START PLANNING? BUT WHERE WE HAVE TO GO FOR EVER AFTER DEATH, HAVE WE THOUGHT OF MAKING ANY ARRANGEMENTS – IN ADVANCE ?      

Searching answer for this itself wakes up our “Discrimination” (विवेक) & more than half the desired objective of life is achieved.                 

All answers lie only in one word – GOD. We need to start “loving” Him & sooner than later, we get all our resolutions.                 

“देर भी हमारे यहाँ है, अंधेर भी हमारे यहाँ है”                

HE is always ready to respond PROVIDED we seek Him.                

CORONA TIME IS CAUSED BY NATURE ONLY FOR THIS PURPOSE – THAT WE PAY HEED TO THIS RADIX (MOST ESSENTIAL).

Gita shloka 3.17 & 3.18, A KṚṢṆA CONSCIOUS PERSON, NO LONGER, HAS ANY DUTY TO PERFORM EXCEPT ACTIVITIES IN KṚṢṆA CONSCIOUSNESS, 23rd June

Gita shloka 3.17 & 3.18:  a Kṛṣṇa conscious person, no longer, has any duty to perform EXCEPT ACTIVITIES IN KṚṢṆA CONSCIOUSNESS


Gita shloka 3.17:

TRANSLATION

One who is, however, taking pleasure in the self, who is illumined in the self, who rejoices in and is satisfied with the self only, fully satiated-for him there is no duty.

PURPORT

A person who is fully Kṛṣṇa conscious, and is fully satisfied by his acts in Kṛṣṇa consciousness, no longer has any duty to perform.

Due to his being Kṛṣṇa conscious, all impiety within is instantly cleansed, an effect of many, many thousands of yajña performances.

By such clearing of consciousness, one becomes fully confident of his eternal position in relationship with the Supreme. His duty thus becomes self-illuminated by the grace of the Lord, and therefore he no longer has any obligations to the Vedic injunctions.

Such a Kṛṣṇa conscious person is no longer interested in material activities and no longer takes pleasure in material arrangements like wine, women and similar infatuations.

Gita shloka 3.18:  

TRANSLATION

A self-realized man has no purpose to fulfill in the discharge of his prescribed duties, nor has he any reason not to perform such work. Nor has he any need to depend on any other living being.

PURPORT

A self-realized man is no longer obliged to perform any prescribed duty, save and except activities in Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

Kṛṣṇa consciousness is not inactivity either, as will be explained in the following verses.

A Kṛṣṇa conscious man does not take shelter of any person-man or demigod.

Whatever he does in Kṛṣṇa consciousness is sufficient in the discharge of his obligation.

तेरे फूलों से भी प्यार, तेरे काँटों से भी प्यार, तू जो भी देना चाहे देदे मेरे करतार (WHATEVER YOU GIVE - FLOWERS OR THORNS - I WILLINGLY ACCEPT) #Blog0045


तेरे फूलों से भी प्यार, तेरे काँटों से भी प्यार, तू जो भी देना चाहे देदे मेरे करतार (Whatever you give - Flowers or Thorns - I willingly accept)


तेरी मर्ज़ी में विधाता कोई छुपा बड़ा राज़, दुनिया चाहे हमसे रूठे तू ना होना नाराज़, 
तुझे वंदन है बार बार, हमको करले तू स्वीकार



हमको दोनो है पसंद, तेरी धूप और छाँव, दाता किसी भी दिशा में ले चल ज़िंदगी की नाव, 
चाहे हमे लगादे पार या डुबो दे मझदार



चाहे सुख दे या दुख, चाहे खुशी दे या गम, मालिक जैसे भी रखेगा वैसे रह लेंगे हम, 
चाहे खुशी भरा संसार या दे आँसुओं की धार 


तू जो भी देना चाहे देदे मेरे करतार, तेरे फूलों से भी प्यार, तेरे काँटों से भी प्यार|
