Full Text  1  9.25 वां श्लोक तो अब श्री कृष्ण बड़ी simple theory बताते हैं इतना simple वे कहते हैं, अर्जुन, जिसकी भक्ति करेगा, जिसमें मन को लगाएगा, मरने के बाद उसी को प्राप्त करेगा, इतना simple, जैसे train है, जहां engine जाएगा, डब्बे भी वहां पर चले जाएंगें,  अगर हम मन को भगवान में लगाएंगे, मरने के बाद उनके लोक जाएंगे, अगर हम स्वर्ग के देवी देवताओं में लगाएंगे, मरने के बाद हम स्वर्ग जाएंगे, पुण्य क्षीण होने पर वहां से लौटेंगे, अगर हम मन को मनुष्यों में लगायेगें, तो वापस मृत्यु लोक में आएंगे और अगर भूत प्रेत की आराधना करेंगे, जैसे कुछ तांत्रिक आदि करते हैं, तो मरने के बाद हम भी भूत प्रेत की योनि में चले जाएंगे, इतनी simple philosophy अब हम decide कर ले हमको चाहिए क्या  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__StZQuasQc&t=74  2  एक बाप के बेटियां थीं, तो एक का विवाह उसने एक शराबी से किया, वह बेचारा शराब में सब गंवा के भिखारी बन गया, उसकी पत्नी की उपाधि पड़ी भिखारिन,  दूसरी लड़की का विवाह graduate से किया, वह कहीं पर clerk बाबू बन गया तो पत्नी का नाम पड़ा बबुआइन,  तीसरी का विवाह जो हुआ, वो बड़े brilliant लड़के से हुआ, वो IAS में आके Collector बना तो उसकी पत्नी की उपाधि मिली मेम साहब,  अब वो लड़कियां झगड़ा करती हैं, पिताजी, ये क्या हम सब आपकी बेटियां हैं मगर मेरी बहने एक बबुआन है, एक मेम साहिब है, और मैं भिखारिन हूं, ये मामला क्या है ? अरे बेटी, वो ऐसा ही है, भाग्य में जैसा था, जिससे विवाह हुआ, बस उसी की सामग्री मिल गई, तो यह सब विभिन्न सामग्रियां है विभिन्न लोग, विभिन्न persons, personalities  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__StZQuasQc&t=174  3  तो श्री कृष्ण fundamental clear कर रहे हैं, देख अर्जुन, इतनी सी बात है, अगर तू चाहता है, भगवत प्राप्ति करना, तो फिर याद रख, तुझे मन का लगाव, भगवान में ही करना होगा  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__StZQuasQc&t=253  4  9.26 वा श्लोक “verse” तो भगवान की भक्ति कैसे करें कहते हैं ? किसी भी प्रकार से, चिंता ही मत करो, तुम्हारे पास पैसा नहीं है, to एक फूल ले लो और वह फूल मुझे अर्पित कर दो,  कोई फूल नहीं दिख रहा, फल तो होगा, फल लेकर अर्पित कर दो, फल भी सब सूख गए हैं सड़ गए हैं, अरे पत्ता ही दे दो, पत्ते भी झड़ गए हैं, चिंता मत करो, “तोयम”, यानी जल तो होगा, जल अर्पित कर दो,  अगर तुम भक्ति के साथ करोगे, श्री कृष्ण कहते हैं, मैं स्वीकार करूंगा क्यों, इसलिए क्योंकि मैं तुम्हारा उपहार नहीं देखता, तुम्हारे भाव को देखता हूं, भगवान “भाव ग्राही जनार्दन” हैं, भगवान को वस्तु से मतलब नहीं है, उनको हमारे भाव से मतलब है,  क्योंकि उनको किसी चीज की आवश्यकता ही नहीं है, वे तो सर्वशक्तिमान हैं, सर्व समर्थ हैं, आत्माराम हैं, पूर्ण काम हैं, परम निष्काम हैं, निर् ग्रंथ हैं, ऐसी Supreme Personality of Godhead को हम क्या दे सकते हैं ?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__StZQuasQc&t=268  5  तो भगवान की, यह जीव भला सेवा कर ही कैसे सकता है ? जीव तो अल्पज्ञ है, अशक्त है, जबकि भगवान सर्वज्ञ हैं और सशक्त हैं, तो क्या एक बच्चा, नवजात शिशु, मां की सेवा करता है ? नहीं , मां बच्चे की सेवा करती है,  इसलिए श्री कृष्ण ने कहा, “ये यथा मां प्रपद्यन्ते तांस्तथैव भजाम्यहम्” “As all surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly. Everyone follows My path in all respects, O son of Pṛthā”.  https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/4/11/  जीव को तो शरणागत होना है और यह भजन मैं करूंगा, भजन माने सेवा, मैं सेवा करूंगा,  जीव को तो बस मुझे शरणागत होना है, श्री कृष्ण कह रहे हैं कि अर्जुन, भगवान को तुम पत्र, पुष्प, फल, फूल, जल कुछ भी दो, अगर प्रेम से दोगे, तो स्वीकार करेंगे  लेकिन वह प्रेम का स्वरूप ऐसा है कि उसमें देने देने की भावना निहित होती हो, तो भगवान जानबूझ के जीव से देना देना कराते, वे कहते हैं जीव तुम मेरे लिए कुछ करो  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__StZQuasQc&t=382  6  अब जीव बेचारा वो सोचता है, भाई मैं तो भिखारी हूं, मैं क्या करूं भगवान के लिए ? वह (भगवान) करें मेरे लिए, इसलिए स्कंद पुराण कहता है, Verse, तुम ने जो न्याय पूर्वक कमाया है, उसका दसवां अंश भगवान को दे दो, भगवान कोई कंजूस नहीं हैं, वह अनंत गुणा करके तुमको लौटा देंगे,  लेकिन तुम्हारे स्वयं के कल्याण के लिए तुमको देना देना सीखना होगा और वो यथा शक्ति होगा (as per your individual capacity), पत्र, पुष्प, फल, फूल सबको श्री कृष्ण कह रहे हैं यहां पर वे स्वीकार करेंगे  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__StZQuasQc&t=455

What is True Love For God? | Service to God by Swami Mukundanand

What is True Love For God? | Service to God by Swami Mukundanand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRDloyulDdc
Full Text  1  Service is the expression of love, we need to understand, we have to develop our loving relationship with God, loving relationship is different from worldly loving relationship, you see there's a difference, in the world also the word love is used but the distinction is between lust and love.  What exists in the world is lust in the name of love, what we need to cultivate is love which is as different from lust as light is different from darkness “verse”. Chaitanya Charitamrita says it is like darkness and light, we have to reach that stage of inner growth where we truly love God and that love means not to take take take but to give give give - that is the one lesson we have never learned in endless lifetimes  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRDloyulDdc&t=4  2  we wish God to get from him and love is the reverse of this - it is about giving to Him. How many times have we really given of ourselves ? you know once, one dollar note and 100 dollar note were getting scrapped, they were going back to the Reserve Bank, whatever it is called in USA, so the hundred dollar note said what a wonderful life it has been, I have been to so many places exquisite,  the one dollar note said what places have you been, I have had a very dreary (not at all interesting or attractive; boring) life. One hundred dollar note said, I am into Las Vegas and I went to Atlantic City and I went to the Sea World and I went to the casinos. $100 note said where did you go ?  One dollar note said, I went to the Ganesh mandir arti thali, then I went to the Vishnu temple arti thali, then I went to the Ram mandir arti thali then I went to Swami ji’s arti thali, the 100 dollar note said what place mandir are you talking about ? I've never seen a mandir.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRDloyulDdc&t=106  3  Have we ever learned to give in many ways ? you see, the Indian culture is studded with so many wonderful things but in one thing it falls way behind the rest of the world & that is when it comes to giving  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRDloyulDdc&t=212  4  one beggar used to go around, then he met a businessman and the businessman asked him, why do you beg ? the beggar said sir, I tried for a job but I did not get it, so I have started begging, if you give me a job, I will stop begging.  The businessman said, I will do far more than that, I'll make you my business partner, he said really ? what is the deal ? the businessman said, look, I have got a rice field and I've got an empty shop in the market, I will supply you the rice, you only have to stand at the counter and sell it, really ? we will share the profits at the end. So how much will I keep will I keep 5% and give you 95 or will I keep 10% and give you 90% ? The businessman said, no you keep 90% of the profits and just give me 10%, the beggar said really ? his words failed him.  Now he actually meant it, he started giving and the beggar became a shopkeeper, he started selling things, at the end of the month, he got the profit now he thought I have done the work why should I give it to my business partner? I should keep it all to myself.  The businessman came and said give me my 10%, the beggar said, what 10 percent ? I have worked hard, it is all mine.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRDloyulDdc&t=226  5  in the same way, God gives us the body, He gives us the brain, He gives us the talents, He gives us the skills, He says go do it but out of whatever you earn, you take out 10% and you give it to Me in return, think about it. How much did we earn in our life ? have we even given back one percent in the service of God ?  we have to go a long way to understand what it means to love & when we understand that and develop the service attitude towards God, everything will fall in place, we will develop the service attitude in our relationships as well, we will understand relationships are not about my happiness, they are about giving & about helping others  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRDloyulDdc&t=344  Transcript 0:04 service is the expression of love, we need to understand, we have to develop 0:14 our loving relationship with God, loving relationship is different from worldly 0:22 loving relationship, you see there's a difference, in the world also the word 0:30 love is used but the distinction is between lust and love what exists in the 0:38 world is lust in the name of love what we need to cultivate is love which is as 0:47 different from lust as light is different from darkness “verse” chaitanya 1:15 charitamrita says it is like darkness and light we have to reach that stage of 1:22 inner growth where we truly love God and that love means what not to take take 1:35 take but to give give give that is the one lesson we have never learned in 1:46 endless lifetimes we wish God to get from him and love is the reverse of this 1:57 it is about giving to him how many times have we really given of ourselves you 2:09 know once 2:11 one dollar note and $100 dollar note were getting scrapped they were going back to 2:22 the Reserve Bank whatever it is called in USA so the hundred dollar note said 2:30 what a wonderful life it has been I have been to so many places exquisite the one 2:39 dollar note said what places have you been - I have had a very dreary life one 2:46 hundred dollar note said I am into Las Vegas and I went to Atlantic City and I 2:52 went to the Sea World and I went to the casinos the $1 note said what places are 3:00 you talking about $100 note said where did you go I went to the Ganesh mandir arti thali 3:07 then I went to the Vishnu temple arti thali, then I went to the Ram mandir arti thali then I went to Swami ji’s arti thali  the hundred dollar note said what place mandir are you talking about I've 3:25 never seen a mandir  3:32 have we ever learned to give in many ways you see the Indian culture is 3:40 studded with so many wonderful things but in one thing it falls way behind the 3:46 rest of the world when it comes to giving one beggar used to go around then 3:56 he met a businessman and the businessman asked him why do you beg the beggar said 4:05 sir I tried for a job I did not get it so I have started begging if you give me 4:12 a job I will stop begging the businessman said I will do far more than that I'll 4:20 make you my business partner he said really the beggar said yes what 4:29 is the deal the businessman said look I have got a rice field and I've got an 4:36 empty shop in the market I will supply you the rice you only have to stand at 4:42 the counter and sell it really we will share the profits at the end so how 4:53 much will I keep will I keep 5% and give you 95 or will I keep 10% and give you 4:59 90% the businessman said no you keep 90% of the profits and just give me 5:07 10% the beggar said really his words failed him now he actually 5:16 meant it he started giving and the beggar became a shopkeeper he started 5:23 selling things at the end of the month he got the profit now he thought I have 5:31 done the work why should I give it to my business partner I should keep it 5:37 all to myself the businessman came and said give me my 10% the beggar said what 5:44 10 percent I have worked hard it is all mine in the same way God gives us the 5:51 body he gives us the brain he gives us the talents he gives us the skills he 5:58 says go do it but what do you earn you take out 10% and you give it to me in 6:06 return think about it 6:09 how much did we earn in our life have we even given back one percent in the 6:15 service of God we have to go a long way to understand what it means to love 6:26 & when we understand that and develop the service attitude towards God everything will 6:33 fall in place we will develop the service attitude in our relationships as 6:41 well we will understand relationships are not about my happiness they are 6:49 about giving about helping others

How to meet God at home | Be a true pilgrim (A spiritual secret) by Swami Mukundanand

How to meet God at home | Be a true pilgrim (A spiritual secret) by Swami Mukundanand

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M Full Text  1  In the earlier days, people would leave everything away and for 15 days they would go to Bhadrika Ashram, the world could not get to them but now the situation has changed because you can go there in a helicopter and even there you will have a hotel with the TV blaring at you,  so the purpose is not served and if you strive and do it properly you can get the benefit of the Bhadrika Ashram yatra while sitting in your house itself  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=3  2  Jagad Guru Shri Kripalu ji maharaj says “चारो धाम काहे कारे गोविंद राधे, तेरा हरि तेरे उर (दिल में) बैठा है बता दे” You are going on the Four Dham yatra, the same Badrinarayan Bhagavan is sitting in your heart, so learn the art of how to meet God in the confines of your own home, how do you do that ? take out some time in the day  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=46  3  I give the example of milk and water. Consider milk to be like your mind and water to be like the world, now if you take the milk to the water and pour it in the water, you will dilute the milk, if you take your mind to the world your mind will become worldly but instead for some time you keep the milk away from the water and in isolation transform it into yogurt, now churn the yogurt and extract the butter, this butter can challenge the water, Mr water I will sit on your head and float, you can do nothing to me, as long as I was milk, you could dilute me but now I have enhanced my concentration,  I have become far stronger in my personality by staying away from you for a little while. Now that I'm butter I am immiscible (unmixable in water), how did this transformation in the personality of milk take place ? by keeping it away from water for a little while, it became possible  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=91  4  Similarly for a little while every day, keep your mind away from everything worldly, this is the ekant sadhana, if 50 people are sitting with the intention of sadhana, that will also be called isolation because the world is not getting at you there, so in that isolation solidify the absorption of your mind in God.  Once you have achieved that and when you go about doing your worldly duties, you will find that you are retaining the divine consciousness, the spiritual perspective, the sublime and noble thoughts, it will come naturally to you  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=197  5  Of course you are not going to become expert on day one, don't think I did for a little while today and so now I'm also King Janaka. When you first plant a Sapling, you need to protect it, put a fence around it, so that no goat grazes it off, no cow makes lunch out of it, keep a watch that it gets sufficient water but not so much that it's drowned in the water,  it gets enough sunlight but not so much that it dries up, initially you are very careful in protecting that tender sapling but once it's become a huge banyan tree, then there is no worry, what to speak of tying a buffalo to it, you can even tie an elephant, nothing is going to happen but the first day you were careful,  similarly when you take your first steps of sadhana be careful that कुसंग, the negative association of the world, doesn't graze away the sapling of bhakti, the bhakti लता that was planted in your heart by the grace of God and guru. Later on when you've achieved proficiency, it will not matter “verse” but initially we must be very careful  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=258  6  The extent to which the mind gets attached to God, to that extent your spiritual power will increase, to that extent you will get control over anger, desire, greed, because to that extent your mind will be purified,  if you have attached your mind twenty-five percent to God that means your mind is 25% detached from the world and you have enhanced your spiritual power by 25%, if there is a 25% irritation, cause for anger, you will not become angry because you have developed the spiritual power,  now increase your attachment to God 50%, your detachment (from world) will become 50%, your spiritual power will be enhanced to 50% and you will get a 50% grip over the defect of anger.  The day the mind is hundred percent attached (to God) it will become 100 percent detached (from world) and all these defects will be removed from the root, that is the spiritual art of Mind Management  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw8r-wWqD0M&t=373  Transcript 0:03 in the earlier days people would leave 0:07 everything away and for 15 days they 0:11 would go to Bhadrika Ashram the world 0:15 could not get to them but now the 0:18 situation has changed because you can go 0:21 there in a  helicopter and even there 0:24 you will have

house itself  0:46 jagad guru sri Kripalu ji maharaj says 0:50 “चारो धाम काहे कारे गोविंद राधे, तेरा हरि तेरे उर (दिल में) बैठा है बता दे” 1:01 you are going on 1:10 the Four Dham yatra the same Badrinarayan   1:14 Bhagavan is sitting in your heart so 1:19 learn the art of how to meet God in the 1:25 confines of your own home how do you do 1:31 that take out some time in the day I 1:36 give these examples of milk and water 1:43 consider milk to be like your mind and 1:47 water to be like the world now if you 1:54 take the milk to the water and pour it 1:56 in the water, you will dilute the milk if you 2:02 take your mind to the world your mind 2:06 will become worldly but instead for some 2:11 time you keep the 2:13 milk away from the water and in 2:18 isolation transform it into yogurt now 2:24 churn the yogurt and extract the butter 2:28 this butter can challenge the water 2:33 Mr water I will sit on your head and 2:38 float you can do nothing to me as long 2:41 as I was milk you would dilute me but 2:46 now I have enhanced my concentration I 2:50 have become far stronger in my 2:53 personality by staying away from you for 2:57 a little while now that I'm butter 3:00 I am immiscible (unmixable)  how did this 3:06 transformation in the personality of 3:08 milk take place by keeping it away from 3:13 water for a little while it became 3:17 Possible similarly for a little while 3:21 every day keep your mind away from 3:25 everything worldly this is the ekant  3:29 sadhana if 50 people are sitting 3:34 with the intention of sadhana that will 3:39 also be called

NO Situation Can Trouble You When you Realize this - Shree Krishna's Wisdom | Swami Mukundananda

NO Situation Can Trouble You When you Realize this - Shree Krishna's Wisdom | Swami Mukundananda

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs Full Text  1  Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 verse 16 Translation, those who are indifferent to worldly gain, externally and internally pure, skillful, without cares, untroubled and free from selfishness in all undertakings, such devotees of mine are very dear to me.  How not to get troubled by problems of life ? And God says don't worry, everything is under My dominion, you just do your bit and you leave the rest to Me, so the devote is without care, so let us make a resolve, you touch your neighbor on the shoulder and say from today that “I will be without care”  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=19  2  now the last point in this verse he said “gata vyatha”, it means those who are untroubled, it's the same thing being expressed in different ways, so those who are untroubled. Problems will always be there, there is no question of having life without problems but to be troubled by them that is the choice we have  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=160  3  one wife, she told her husband at night, she said darling, I think a thief has entered the home, go and check the living room. He went into the living room and there he found himself looking into the barrel of the gun and the thief said, give me all that you have, so the man said, sure with pleasure, but before you go, please come and meet my wife, she has been expecting you for the last 30 years  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=195  4  so this is a matter of attitude, problems will always be there, but do you choose to be troubled or do you choose not to be troubled ? Now don't tell your neighbor, tell yourself, I will not be troubled, no matter whatever comes my way  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=242  5  now why is it that we are troubled ? is there anybody here who doesn't have two sets of clothes to wear ? No, is there anybody here who doesn't have two roties to eat ? No, then why are you troubled ?  The reason we are troubled is that we compare, see the people in India are comparing, oh my cousin is in America, my cousin is in Go-lok, I'm in India, how can I be happy ? And the people in America, are they happy ?  No, I am living in Erwin in that apartment and my friend is living in Allen in a big house, how can I be happy in the apartment ? so the person in the big house is saying that my friend has got five bedrooms and I have got only three bedrooms, so we are always comparing and this comparison is stealing our joy  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=283  6  An experiment was carried out with monkeys, the monkey, it would be given a marble and if the monkey handed the marble to the researcher, the monkey would be given one piece of cucumber and the monkey would be so happy, take the marble and give it to the researcher  until the monkey saw that the other monkey is being given a grape, then the monkey got so annoyed it took that cucumber and threw it, it was perfectly happy and now there is a comparison going on  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=350  7  so what has happened in the modern day world, this comparison has moved online, this is called “fear of missing out for more”, you compare that my friend has got so many “likes” and I've got less “likes”,  so everybody is putting on their best appearance online and the others think, oh this guy's life is so wonderful, this person is living a fantasy Life online, so this comparison is causing all the trouble, otherwise there is no need to be troubled, what is the need ?  you are living in the most opulent country of the world, you've got it all made, so that is why if we can just “Run your Own Race” - Shree Krishna’s Advice, decide that I will run my own race you will stop comparing and you will find peace  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDlWGbfT-Bs&t=390  Transcript Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 verse 16 0:16 PR 0:19 translation those who are indifferent to 0:23 worldly 0:25 gain externally and internally pure 0:31 skillful without cares untroubled and 0:35 free from 0:37 selfishness in all 0:39 undertakings such devotees of mine are 0:43 very dear to me How not to Get Troubled by Problems of Life? 1:59 and God says don't worry everything 2:02 is under my Dominion you just do your 2:05 bit and you leave the rest to me so the 2:08 devote is without 2:12 care so let us make a 2:14 resolve you touch your neighbor on the 2:17 shoulder and say from today I will be 2:20 without care   2:40 now the last point in this verse he said 2:45 “gata vyatha” 2:48 means those who are 2:51 untroubled it's the same thing being 2:54 expressed in different ways so those who 2:57 are untroubled 3:00 problems will always be there there is 3:04 no question of having life without 3:08 problems but to be troubled by them that 3:13 is the choice we 3:15 have  one wife she told her 3:20 husband at night she said darling I 3:24 think a thief has entered the home go 3:27 and check the living room 3:30 he went into the living room and there 3:34 he found himself looking into the barrel 3:39 of the gun and the thief said give me 3:42 all that you have so the man said sure 3:46 with pleasure but before you go please 3:50 come and meet my wife she has been 3:53 expecting you for the last 30 years   4:02 so this is a matter of 4:06 attitude problems will always be there 4:09 do you choose to be troubled or do you 4:11 choose not to be troubled now don't tell 4:14 your neighbor tell yourself I will not 4:17 be troubled no matter whatever comes my 4:20 way   4:24 and finally he says “verse” Stop Comparing Start Living 4:32 those who are free from 4:37 selfishness  in all 4:43 undertakings  now why is it that we are 4:46 troubled is there anybody here who 4:49 doesn't have two sets of clothes to 4:51 wear no is there anybody here who 4:54 doesn't have two roties to eat no then 4:58 why are you troubled the reason we are 5:00 troubled is We 5:03 compare see the people in India are 5:07 comparing oh my cousin is in America my 5:11 cousin is in 5:12 golok I'm in India how can I be 5:18 happy and the people in America are they 5:21 happy no I am living in Erwin in that 5:27 apartment and my friend is living in Allen in  5:30 a big house how can I be happy in the 5:33 apartment so the person in the big house 5:36 is saying that my friend has got five 5:39 bedroom and I have got only three 5:41 bedroom so we are always 5:45 comparing and this comparison is 5:48 stealing our 5:50 joy  experiment was carried out with 5:53 monkeys the monkey it would be given a 5:57 marble and if the monkey handed the 6:00 marble to the researcher the monkey 6:03 would be given one piece of 6:06 cucumber and the monkey would be so 6:08 happy take the marble and give it to the 6:11 researcher until the monkey saw that the 6:14 other monkey is being given a 6:17 grape then the monkey got so annoyed it 6:20 took that cucumber and threw 6:24 it it was perfectly happy and now there 6:28 is a comparison going 6:30 on  so what has happened in the modern 6:33 day world this comparison has moved 6:36 online this is called now fear of 6:39 missing out for more you compare that my 6:43 friend has got so many likes and I've 6:45 got less 6:49 likes so everybody is putting on their 6:52 best appearance online and the others 6:55 think oh this guy's life is so wonderful 6:59 this person is living a Fantasy Life 7:03 online 7:04 definitely so this comparison is causing 7:08 all the trouble otherwise there is no 7:11 need to be troubled what is the need you are 7:13 living in the most opulent country of 7:15 the world you've got it all 7:17 made so that is why if we can just Run your Own Race - Shree Krishna’s Advice 7:23 decide that I will run my own race you 7:28 will stop comparing and you will 7:31 find peace

Full Text  1  Bhakti is a divine power, it is such a power that if you receive it, God becomes enslaved. None of the other paths have the ability to enslave God, and what happens in bhakti ?  In the Srimad Bhagavatam Lord Krishna states that otherwise, I am supremely Independent, but this magic wand of bhakti makes me dance just like the snake charmer makes the snake dance  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTzK7TvFQlY&t=3  2  so He says My devotees have eaten My heart, they have taken my heart, what to speak of My devotees, even those who are the devotees of My devotees, are so very dear to Me.  That is why, somebody, who saw the divine pastimes of the Supreme Almighty under the sway (control) of love said, it seems to me that God has gone crazy  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTzK7TvFQlY&t=59  3  God has gone crazy yes, ‘verse”, everybody is searching for God, going for Char-dham yatra, engaging in deep austerities and in tremendous learning and yet they find neither the hands nor the feet of the Lord and this devotee says my, my, the same God, I found Him playing in punk (something worthless or unimportant) in the wet mud of the courtyard of Nand & Yashoda,  in other words, from infinite universes in one universe, within that on one planet Earth, in one Bharat Varsh, in that one District of Mathura, one Gokul Village and the house of Nand Baba, his courtyard, I found God playing and Yashoda is saying stop but He doesn't listen, He seems to have gone crazy to me  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTzK7TvFQlY&t=96  4  and where big big Scholars recite mantras, “verse”, pandit ji says (recites). Yajman (the host who calls pandit ji for yagya) says, where is this Vishnu, pandit ji ? hey quiet, you will see him, but nobody sees him.  And where did you find that Vishnu ? He is with the cows telling the calf, the calf is doing hunk hunk (sound made by calf), Shri Krishna is telling the calf in the ear, what is the matter, you have not drunk your mother's milk ?  go ahead and drink it and leave a little bit for me, now isn't God crazy to do such things ? So how did this happen ? That was the power of bhakti or love that it enslaves the Master of infinite universes and nothing else can do that  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTzK7TvFQlY&t=190  5  hence Narad ji says this is above and beyond the other means of God realization. There is another sense to it as well, you see, through the other paths, you cannot realize God in His personal form.  You can go close to Him but not completely, that is why in the Bhagavad-Gita 18th chapter, Lord Krishna says “verse” that gyani, Arjun, becomes brahmabhut, situated in the self - neither hankering nor lamenting, equally disposed towards everybody  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTzK7TvFQlY&t=267  6  so what is last one fourth line, from that state of “gyan”, the Gyani then does bhakti. Now look, some people say bhakti is for those whose intellect is little less, you know you people you do bhajan and I will only do “Niranjan Gyan” in “Surandhran (Sun) Dhyan”  but in the 18th chapter of the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna is saying from that state of Atma-gyan (self-realisation) he (the gyani) then engages in devotion and the next verse says, “verse”, Arjun,  Shri Krishna says that it is by bhakti alone that you will realize Me as I am standing before you in My personal form, so that Supreme realization of God's personality happens through love.  Now the other paths to God are great but they don't enable the complete realization, hence Narad ji says that this bhakti is above and beyond the other spiritual practices  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTzK7TvFQlY&t=339  Transcript 0:03 bhakti is a divine power 0:08 it is such a power 0:10 that if you receive it 0:12 God becomes enslaved 0:17 none of the other paths have the ability 0:20 to enslave God 0:24 and what happens in bhakti 0:39 In the Srimad Bhagavatam Lord Krishna States 0:42 that otherwise I am supremely 0:45 independent 0:48 but this magic wand of bhakti 0:51 makes me dance 0:54 just like the Snake Charmer makes the 0:57 snake dance 0:59 so he says my devotees have eaten my 1:03 heart 1:04 they have taken my heart what to speak 1:07 of my devotees 1:11 even those who are the devotees of my 1:15 devotees are so very dear to me 1:19 that is why somebody who saw the Divine 1:24 pastimes of the Supreme Almighty under 1:28 the sway of Love said it seems to me 1:32 that God has gone crazy  1:36 God has gone crazy yes ‘verse” 2:04 everybody is searching for God 2:08 going for chardham yatra 2:11 engaging in deep austerities and in 2:15 tremendous learning and yet they find 2:19 neither the hands nor the feet of the 2:22 Lord 2:23 and this devotee says my my 2:27 the same God I found him playing in Punk 2:33 in the wet mud 2:35 of the courtyard 2:38 of Nand & Yashoda 2:40 in other words from infinite universes 2:43 in one Universe within that on one 2:47 planet Earth in one Bharat Varsh in that 2:52 one District of mathura one Gokul 2:56 Village and the house of Nanda Baba his 3:00 Courtyard I found God playing 3:03 and yashoda is saying stop but he 3:06 doesn't listen he seems to have gone 3:08 crazy to me  3:10 and where big big Scholars recite 3:15 Mantras “verse” 3:27 pandit ji  3:30 says (recites). Yajman (the host who calls pandit ji for yagya) says, where is this Vishnu, pandit ji ? hey 3:34 quiet you will see him 3:37 but nobody sees him 3:39 and where did you find that Vishnu 3:44 he is with the cows 3:48 telling the calf the calf is doing hunk 3:52 hunk 3:53 Shri Krishna is telling the calf in the 3:56 ear 3:57 what is the matter 3:58 you have not drunk your mother's milk 4:01 go ahead and drink it and leave a little 4:03 bit for me 4:06 Now isn't God crazy to do such things 4:11 so how did this happen that was the 4:16 power of bhakti or love that it enslaves 4:21 the master of infinite universes and 4:25 nothing else can do that  4:27 hence Narad ji says this is above and 4:33 beyond the other means of God 4:36 realization 4:39 there is another sense to it as well 4:43 you see 4:45 through the other paths 4:48 you cannot realize God in his personal 4:52 form 4:55 you can go close to him 4:58 but not completely 5:01 that is why in the bhagavad-gita 18th 5:05 chapter 5:06 Lord Krishna says “verse” 5:18 that gyani Arjun becomes brahmabhut 5:22 situated in the self neither hankering 5:27 nor lamenting equally disposed towards 5:32 everybody  5:35 does anybody remember this verse from 5:37 the bhagavad-gita 5:39 so what is last one fourth line 5:46 from that state of “gyan”, the Gyani then does bhakti  5:51 now look some people say bhakti is for 5:54 those whose intellect is little less you 5:56 know you people you do Bhajan and I will 5:59 only do “Niranjan Gyan” in “Surandhran Dhyan” 6:03 but in the 18th chapter of the 6:06 bhagavad-gita Lord Krishna is saying from that state 6:10 of Atma-gyan (self-realisation) 6:12 he (the gyani) then engages in devotion  6:16 and the next verse says “verse”  6:29 Arjun Shri Krishna says 6:32 It Is by bhakti alone that you will 6:35 realize me as I am standing before you 6:39 in my personal form 6:42 so that Supreme realization of God's 6:47 personality happens through love 6:51 now the others are great but they don't 6:56 enable the complete realization 7:00 hence Narad ji says that this bhakti is 7:05 above and beyond the other 7:09 spiritual practices
