Bhagavad Gita TOP 3 RULES To Face Any Problems In Life
2.34 the only way to overcome Maya is to earn the grace of Lord. I am astonished why all the motivational speakers don't talk of grace of Lord https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=154 3.11 you go to meet a friend but the dog greets you with his bark & growl ; when all your means fail and you have no option left you call out to the owner of the dog who subdues/ neutralises the dog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=191 4.44 in the same way Maya can be subdued only by God's intervention , when we try yog, yagya, jap, tap, vrat, pooja and none of these techniques succeed, finally we cry out to the Lord, You please help me. And when his grace descends then we get the ability to overcome the material energy & any difficulty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=284 8.19 There will always be negative people and negative circumstances around. That is how this life is designed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=499 8.49 So the saintly person says never mind, these are also blessings, and amidst negativity to remain positive - this is sadhna all about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=529 9.26 There is a reason to be disturbed but you are not disturbed ; there is a reason to be attached but you are not attached. There is a reason to be proud but you are normal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=566 9.42 when you do that you take these negative situations as opportunities for austerity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=582 10.01 Krishna says: those who have purified their hearts and thereby destroyed their accumulated sins, they become free from the illusion of dualities https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=601 10.28 Incident of a boy from an extremely rich father. Boy wanted a gift of Ferrari car from his father on his graduation but father gifted a book of Gita instead. Boy was turned off & left home. After 1 year he came back home & mother told him that father had passed away that morning itself. The boy was grief struck. He explored various memories left my father and he picked up Gita respectfully (which was given by father but the boy had not accepted that) and found a receipt of Ferrari company which said that full payment had been done for that Ferrari car. It means that father had indeed purchased a Ferrari as desired by the boy but the father did not tell the boy about that. Hence, the father did not package his deal nicely for his son. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=628 14.06 in the same way we want God also to package His gifts to us the way we want ; but He gives it the way He wants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=846 14:15 he has his own way of bestowing his mercy upon us and that is why we deaden ourselves to the miracle of God which is happening whether we like it or we don't like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=855 14:31 so the secret then to awaken your best self is to exalt the ordinary moment to the extraordinary moment to live each moment to the full to do every little bit as if it is the service of God https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=871 15:03 an old Indian Fable relates that a mouse came to reside in a Sages ashram now the mouse was scared of the cat which was already living there out of mercy upon it the sage transformed it into a cat now it was scared of the dog in that monastery the sage again took pity and blessed it to become a dog however it's fear persisted because there were lions in the nearby Woods the sage finally out of frustration said https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=903 15.48 you will never be cured as you have the heart of a mouse and become a mouse again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=948 15:58 what is this fear that paralyzes us from taking action and that hijacks our rational thinking let's first hear about it from the Bhagavad-Gita Lord Krishna in 12.15 has said that my devotees who do not fear are very dear to me I am reading from the commentary Bhagavad-Gita the song of God the cause of fear and anxiety is attachment it makes us yearn for the subject of attachment and fear separation from it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=958 16.42: the moment we become detached from material objects we become Fearless the devotees are not only free from attachment they are also in harmony with the will of God hence they experience neither fear nor anxiety https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1002 17:09 Maharana Pratap was a famous rajput King who stood up against the Mughal Invaders in medieval times he was informed there was a spy in his Palace and he had better be careful for a plot on his life he must keep four bodyguards with him all the time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1029 17:35 Maharana Pratap gave a classic response his end I would rather die once than live at every moment in the fear of death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1055 17:50 so what is the worst case scenario is it that bad ? somebody said "fear not that your life will come to an end, rather fear that it never had any beginning" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1070 18:07 as per the Bhagavad-Gita main cause for fear is attachment if you are attached to sensual enjoyment you will fear disease if you are attached to high position you will fear downfall with if you are attached to wealth you will dread penury (loss of wealth) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1087 18:47 the moment we become virakt or detached we become fearless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1127 18:56 let's take inspiration from Bal Gangadhar Tilak who was the first leader of India's independent struggle and he was the one who presented the slogan freedom is my Birthright I want complete and absolute freedom for my country from the colonialists https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1136 19:29 Bal Gangadhar Tilak was so active in political life & was also a deeply spiritual person and he wrote an extremely scholarly commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita he lived his life as per the precepts of Karma Yoga taught by Lord Krishna https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1169 19:52 there is a wonderful story about him once British police came to arrest him and they said that we need to put you in prison as per section 126 of the penal code he said please give me a couple of minutes to freshen up and he told his friend find out what are my rights under Section 126 of the penal code and then he allowed the police to take him and get him incarcerated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1192 20:28 when his friend came a few hours later to the prison to meet Bal Gangadhar Tilak he was astonished to find tilak blissfully sleeping and snoring without a care in the world he had done what was required but was free from Fear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1228 20:53 it is said that once his son became unwell and the wife came to him while he was in office and said our son is not doing well at all Tilak called for the doctor to see him and continued working the wife was frantic and she said your son is unwell you have no fear he said I have informed the doctor what else can I do and thereby he exemplified the fact that the root cause of fear is attachment and the way to overcome it is to free our mind from all kinds of attachments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWYYVK_9JtM&t=1253
