Powerful Krishna Consciousness to Free your MIND from Worries and Negativity by Swami Mukundanand
Powerful Krishna Consciousness to Free your MIND from Worries and Negativity by Swami Mukundanand
- 1 0:00 the conditioned soul in material consciousness is not seeing itself as the soul, it is identifying itself with the body & then the bodily identifications I'm Gujarati I'm marwari I'm Sindhi I'm Bengali I'm Indian I'm American I'm Chinese I'm Mexican I'm a human being and even worse I am the mind https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=0 2 0:27 we don't even realize that the mind is different and I am different, the mind creates thoughts, think this, think this think this and we keep identifying with the thoughts, the scriptures say you are not thinking BUT your mind is thinking, why don't you distance yourself from the mind, the end of all problems. But that so happens with practice of self knowledge, slowly we learn to see our ourselves as the soul distinct from the body, distinct from the mind and finally even distinct from the intellect https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=27 3 1:11 Shri Krishna says such a soul situated in karma yog resides in the city of nine gates in detachment, neither thinking of himself to be the doer nor thinking of himself to be the enjoyer of what is this city of nine gates, the embodied beings who are self-controlled and detached reside happily in the city of nine gates free from thoughts that they are the doers https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=71 4 2:27 God Krishna says that there is a City, in the city is a House, in the house there's a Courtyard, within the courtyard is a secret ,one who knows that secret knows everything that is to be known https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=147 5 3:24 the city He talks about is the body, in the body is the heart and the courtyard is the space of the heart and in that resides Bhagavan, so one who knows that Brahma, he knows everything that is to be known https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=204 6 3:46 now here He's giving a similar analogy, he is saying that there is a city with nine gates and this is our body, it has got the nine gates two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mouth, anus & genitals are the nine gates to this body https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=226 7 4:15 now the purified soul resides in the body like we all do but the difference is we are identified with the body that is not so serious, even more serious is we are identified with the mind and we are identified with the intellect and we are identified with the ego and hence we are in this bound state https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=255 8 4:42 now the mind is a mischievous monkey and this mischievous monkey called the mind is throwing up thoughts, it has an algorithm of its own sometimes, it says I am so happy I so blessed to be in swami ji's retreat and then after a few moments it says oh you know but I could have I had these other options, this was not the only thing I could have done, maybe I made a wrong choice, so this is all being thrown up by the mind, not by the soul, the mischievous monkey called the mind is throwing up these thoughts that is its Job, we the Souls, the mistake we are making is we are identifying with these thoughts and that is why we are saying now I'm Inspired, I'm not inspired based upon the state of the mind https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=282 9 5:44 but the realized Souls they create a distance between the mind and themselves and seeing that mind as separate from them they can understand oh at this moment the mind is trying to seduce me with a not so wholesome thought, with a nonbeneficial detrimental thought, it is my choice whether I accept it or I don't, I choose not to https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=344 10 6:18 now the moment you dissociate yourself from the thought, it loses its Power, so the thoughts, they do come in all kinds there's no limit to the kinds of negative thoughts and then if we see them as a part of us they grip us https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=378 11 6:43 like one lady she came to me she said swami ji, my brother died of cancer a few months ago, first she said I'm in depression, I'm so Sorry, so she said my brother died of cancer 5 months Ago, I said oh really so ? is that the reason for your depression no no that is all right, I have released that, the problem is I have started thinking that I will also get cancer and then I heard in your mind management that if we think some thoughts again we attract that those circumstances to our life so here I'm thinking I will get cancer, I will get cancer and I'm just thinking that will attract cancer to my life so I'm really and seriously worried now https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=403 12 7:39 what is the mistake the lady is making, the mistake is she's attributing those thoughts to herself, I am thinking like This, now the next moment I'm thinking Like that , that's not the way to do it, the moment you adopt the thought, moment you see yourself as the source of it, it becomes energized and then it becomes stronger and comes to you again and worried now & again until it starts creating a new neural pathway and you feel that you are in the grip of this negative Chintan, now we realize that some of these thoughts they don't align with our goals or they may not even align with our values, they may be immoral so when people have those thoughts, why am I thinking like this, the moment they start doing that they have energized the thought that's exactly what the thought wanted, the power and you have empowered it https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=459 13 8:50 instead a more enlightened way Is, okay a thought has come but I'm not interested, like the birds fly in the sky - they just fly away one moment here, the second moment they are gone, it's not that you have to chase every bird that comes, it is the same with these Thoughts, that freedom comes from self knowledge when you deeply contemplate the fact that you are not your mind, you are the “seer” of the mind, the soul, that monkey mind can work to your Benefit but also it can work to your Detriment, so it is for you to train it the way you want now https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=530 14 9:46 supposing you are in the dark and a stranger accosts you all of a sudden, you see this big hulky guy, you have two options either to run from there or to attempt to fight him because you know that he's going to mug (torment) you, so you have to either fight this danger or run away from it but supposing you're walking on the street and little children start Heckling (bothering) You, so is it advisable to fight them ? no because they will only be provoked, is it advisable to run no? because they'll run after you, so in this case the advisable thing is to ignore them they'll say you know we teased him , let's tease the next guy likewise the moment you accept the thought as your own that thought gains an energy and the moment you distance yourself from it, it loses its energy https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=586 15 10:51 that is the basis of the sakshi, witness consciousness so in sakshi the self realized sages they surf the emotions and sensations in the body, they can even surf the pains in the body, surfing (ride over them) means they just surf it that is why their ability to tolerate pains because they see the pain is coming and they say okay it is coming but I distance myself from it, that same sakshi has become popular in the western world in a diluted form as mindfulness https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=651 16 11:36 so in mindfulness this knowledge is not there in the mix that I am the soul but the concept is given of watching your Thoughts, so the Intellectuals, the academicians, the Scholars, they find this a very convenient philosophy there is no need to believe in either the soul or in God, no need to have any kind of faith and yet you have this powerful tool for mind Management mindfulness https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=696 17 12:09 but it's in original form in the vedas, it is the witness consciousness Shri Krishna is saying the same here, He says Arjun this self realized souls, they stay in this body and they remain in witness consciousness, so they are able to retain their elevated state of thoughts and consciousness https://youtu.be/dRMouFwOSyI&t=729 Standby link (in case youtube link does not work): Powerful Krishna Consciousness to Free your MIND from Worries and Negativity Swami Mukundananda.mp4

You can also read the TRANSCRIPT (text version) of the same by clicking "..more" & "Show transcript".
But the following Blog link has done several corrections in the above Transcript provided in the video & hence the following link is easier to read in text flow
1
0:00 don't keep “dur bhavana”, dur bhavna is ill will ill feeling towards someone, don't keep it , why, because your thoughts will pollute you, they will impact your consciousness, if you wish to progress in sadhana, then don't create ill will even in your dreams, even by mistake
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=0
2
0:47 don't see the faults of others, see your own faults
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=47
3
0:57 two brothers came along with their father to listen to swamiji's program and they were inspired - yes we wish to do a life transformation and we wish to manage our mind etc. so when they went back home, the father inspired them that tomorrow you both wake up at 4 00 am and meditate, they said yes father, if we have got the inspiration of our life tomorrow onwards, we'll never be the same
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=57
4
1:36 the next morning, the elder son woke up at 4am, and the younger one he kept on sleeping, it was so blissful so the elder one said to father ,what a rascal he is that I am awake here meditating and he is just sleeping in his bed
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=96
5
2:02 the father said my child if you had to find faults with your brother, you shouldn't have woken up at 4am you were better sleeping, what is the point in waking up if at the end of it you are just finding faults with others likewise what is the point in coming to satsang if we are doing fault-finding, it is purposeless
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=122
6
2:32 so looking at the faults of others we accumulate their sins
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=152
7
2:41 one king wanted to give in charity to the brahmanas, he arranged brahma-bhoja and he had got the cooks to cook a lavish meal but accidents happen, one eagle was carrying a dead snake and it dropped the snake in a cauldron, the snake got cooked along with the brahman's food and made it poisonous
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=161
8
3:15 now when the brahman started eating, some of them fell sick, the analysis was done and it was discovered that there was poison in the food, Chitra Gupta, the devata who has the task of noting people's karmas, he started wondering the sin of hurting these brahmans, on whose account should I put it?
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=195
9
3:44 I cannot put it in the account of the snake as it was dead, I cannot put it on the account of the eagle it is agyani or a devoid of knowledge, it had no such intention, I cannot put it on the account of the king either because the king did not do it deliberately, it was an accident
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=224
10
4:07 in the meantime some more brahmans were coming and the news had spread, so there was one lady standing outside and the brahmanas asked the lady, we have heard the king is giving a brahma bhoj and along with the meal he is offering gifts to the brahmanas, the lady said don't, that king is giving poison to kill the brahmanas
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=247
11
4:36 Chitra Gupta said that decision is made, all the sin is put on the account of this lady
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=276
12
4:45 so it is said if you point out somebody's mistakes and he has not made any you get the entire sin and if you point out anybody's mistakes and they have made it you still get half the sin, it's very dangerous
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=285
13
5:08 So ensure that I will not do fault finding
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=308
14
5:13 a sage used to live up in the Himalayas in a hut by the lakeside, these mountain lakes are known for their clarity purity tranquility serenity and the swans used to come and congregate there
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=313
15
5:40 one hunter came looking for swans he was astonished to see the swans come and sit all by the side as the sadhu sits on the side of the lake to meditate, they are oblivious of him, they have no fear of him they walk all around, in fact they were kind of drawn by the vibrations that he was emanating during his meditation
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=340
16
6:13 that hunter was on an assignment he wanted to capture some swans and go and sell them at the zoo so he told the sadhu that i have been trying and they are so elusive now they come and sit all by you can you please help me tomorrow, you keep this net under your dhoti and when the swans come close as they do, you throw the net on them, first the sadhu refused but the hunter convinced him that it's for a better cause a bigger cause, you know human beings will look at the swans in the Delhi zoo and be thrilled so the sadhu got convinced he said all right next day he went to meditate with the net under him and sat down he kept his eyes closed thinking as usual the swans will all come around him and once when he opens his eyes he'll catch them unprepared but when he opened his eyes he found that there was no swan anywhere around somehow the swans had sensed these animals they have got a greater sixth sense in this regard because they can't understand human communication so their intuitive grasp is not dulled by speech and that is why they grasped just by feeling they had realized that the Sadhu’s feelings had changed he had now got the thought in his mind i am going to catch these swans
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=373
17
8:18 it is by our thoughts that we purify ourselves it is by our thoughts that we pollute ourselves so when we keep resentful thoughts towards others we think this person is very bad he did this to me but the thought resides in us and the loss that is suffered is by us not by the other
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=498
18
8:49 one husband and wife the husband's name was champaklal and his wife was popta ben and so champaklal and popta ben they went to the mandir and after they came back from the mandir popta ben told champaklal she said my dear husband did you see there was dirt accumulated on the first stair of the temple the husband said i did not see my dear husband did you see that the paint under the window was slightly torn husband said i did not see my dear husband did you see that in the temple there was a little trash by the corner husband said i did not see, popta ben was so popped up and said then what is the use why do you go to the temple at all if you don't see all this she was so popped up and was going there to see the faults
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=529
19
10:06 so maharaj ji says don't be a fault finder be a good finder there are faults everywhere nothing is free of defects
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=606
20
10:23 you can find fault even with Lord Krishna, why doesn't He stand straight, why does He stand crooked ?
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=623
21
10:34 it is so easy to find fault with others and so difficult to find fault with ourselves it is so easy to judge others and so difficult to learn from them so we follow the easy path but the problem with this is first of all it increases our pride because we then assume the other person is wrong and i am right and the fact is we are all wrong because we are in maya so as long as if we are in maya we have got so many defects and when we are looking at the defects of others we are not turning our gaze to our own defects which are there and they will only keep on increasing
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=634
22
11:30 So, look don't make this mistake you who point fingers at others look these three fingers are pointing towards you so take the cue
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=690
23
11:54 Maharaj ji says show your mind your own defects that is the pathway to improvement we should take inspiration from the saints they knew the art of how to think in an adverse situation to ensure that the mind doesn't get polluted
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=714
24
12:26 there is the story of a devotee from south India called Venkatnath he used to engage in his bhajan and the neighbors would make fun of him so atheism has always existed in this world of maya even in historical times and it was there in the time of Venkatnath that the youth are more susceptible to atheistic theories so some of the youth thought of a practical joke they made a garland of shoes and slippers and hung it by the gate entrance of this guy's cottage that when he comes he will come in his मस्ती unaware just taking the God’s names and he will hit this garland it will fall on him we will all have a hearty laugh so Venkatnath came as usual his mind in the other world and without realizing there was a reception committee he went and hit this garland and it fell upon him the garland of shoes now he could also have created a monster in his mind oh my god this is what they did, they don't do to anybody else they only do to me what is it the youth when the garland fell they started laughing Venkatnat said very good very good He was not disturbed he said some people they take the shelter of the path of karma for elevation some take the shelter of the path of gyan for their elevation but me i will take the shelter of the pad Raksha, the shoes of Haridas these devotees of the lord now he's seen them all as devotees and he is saying i am taking the shelter of their pad raksaks, their shoes that is the cleverness how to think so that ill will does not get generated within
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=746
25
15:10 so this knowledge that we should not harbor ill will is common to saintly personalities around the world
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=910
26
15:20 the sufi saint by the name of sant usman he was walking in the streets of arabia when somebody from the second floor threw ashes upon him you know the burnt ashes threw a trayful upon him now again he refused to create a monster 300 people went before me, you did not do it to them why did you do it to me he just looked up into the sky and said ya khuda oh lord You are so compassionate i was worthy of this that You should have thrown burning ember upon me and all You did was to throw ashes , the person who threw it must have melted completely that look even after throwing these ashes i could not disturb the peace of the saint that is the quality to strive for that is the sign of progress in sadhana
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=920
27
16:37 don't create ill will and the fact is, the way we are that is how we see the world
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=997
28
16:48 there was a room with a thousand mirrors one little girl went there and she said i see so many people in this room her father said tell them i love you she said i love you and they all responded with such a loving expression she was followed by a boy later on and he saw so many people he said how dare they all charge me together so he lifted his hand i'll smash you and they all lifted their hand
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=1008
29
17:27 so that is exactly how this world is it is not good it is not bad the way we are that is how we see this world
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=1047
30
17:43 there was once an old man he used to sit outside the village and when travellers used to come from there passing by they would ask the old man how are the people who live in this village, he would tell them how the people are from where you have come , if they would say they are very bad he would say the people here are also very bad,you can carry on, and if they would say they are so nice, he would say you will find these people, also so nice
https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=1063
31
18:25 so the fact is that this is the world created by God we see it according to the nature of our heart the moment we say that somebody is bad this thought is bad the defect is in that thought within us so maharaj ji says beware if you wish to progress in sadhana then don't create ill will even in your dreams even by mistake
