BG 4.20 | #1 Measure of Your Spiritual Progress per Lord Krishna | Bhagavad Gita Inspiration  by Swami Mukundanand

*Main Points*:  1 The results will be of all kinds in the   world, sometimes a lot of success,   sometimes a lot of failure, sometimes   nothing,   if you can remain normal through all of   this, that is the victory, to remain   normal in success is no big deal.    Society is teaching us how   to be successful   but they should teach us how to handle   failure   because failure is far more common than  success,   anybody who succeeds actually fails 10   times before reaching that success and   they are not taught how to handle  failure. Bhagavad-Gita chapter 4 verse 20:      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=2 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=781 2 such people having given up attachments to the fruits of their actions are always satisfied and not dependent upon external things, despite engaging in activities they do not do anything at all   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=83 3 what an interesting  philosophical concept it is, they are doing everything and yet not doing anything at all, why ? because they have given up attachment to the fruits of their activities, so they have given up (worldly) desire, because they know from (worldly) desire will come anger and greed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=111 4 Guru Gobind Singh example, he was the tenth of the Sikh gurus, and he was actually fighting a war, in one such war, he threw the opponent on the ground, and he got onto his chest to kill him, when the opponent spat on him and Guru Gobind singh ji  left him there and started walking off, somebody asked you were going to kill him what happened, he said until now it was a dharam yudh, I was just doing my duty but now that he spat on me I have become angry and when I am angry it will no longer remain in dharm-yudh, I'll be acting out of anger, that is why I have just left it, I am leaving so you see there he is fighting a war and yet he is doing nothing   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=142 5 BG 18.17: “One who is not motivated by false ego, whose intelligence is not entangled, though he kills men in this world, does not kill. Nor is he bound by his actions” https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/17/ BG 18.11 “It is indeed impossible for an embodied being to give up all activities. But he who renounces the fruits of action is called one who has truly renounced”. https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/11/ somebody who gives up worldly duties as laborious as troublesome, that is one kind of Vairagya https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=220 6 you know why labor so much in the world,  become a baba,  in India if you are wearing saffron  clothes, you'll get two rotis in any case  and then if you don't know the  Scriptures, it doesn't matter, you become mauni baba   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=264 7 so a very easy way to start a business, when people come, you offer your blessings “baccha, tera bhala ho” Now ten people come. "Babaji, baccha nahi hota." So, offer them all blessings “baccha, tera bhala ho”, now out of 10 by chance, two will have children out of sheer probability, they will go and do propaganda to 100 people, that I got the blessings of that baba and now I have children, so now 100 people will come to baba for the blessings and he tells them all “baccha, tera bhala ho” but now out of the 100, 20 will have out of sheer probability they will go and inform 1000 that is how the business starts, so in case you lose your job here is a job option https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=327 8 this is not the vairagya, running away from the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=381 9 Shri Krishna says this is Rajasic tyag, because when you take sannyas and you experience difficulty,  then you will do an about turn (U turn) from here go back to the world, easy come, easy go   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=430 10 on the other hand Shri Krishna says what is Sattvic tyag , BG 18.9,  “O Arjuna, when one performs his prescribed duty only because it ought to be done, and renounces all material association and all attachment to the fruit, his renunciation is said to be in the mode of goodness”. https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/9/ Arjun one who continues doing the duties and rejects attachment from inside, gives up inner attachment, that I consider Sattvic tyag, so that is the “akarm” that He is talking about where you have given up attachment from inside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=448 11 of course there is a fourth category as well that is karma sannyas, so the karma sannyasi is the renunciant, the Monk, that is taken under the guidance of the guru, who knows the path and who knows our sanskars and the true motivation for true vairagya,, when the seva bhav develops, the desire to serve has become so intense that the worldly works are now becoming an impediment, we don't have enough time enough energy left to serve and motivated by the desire to serve when you leave the world, that vairagya will be stable that will be karma sannyas and until then we should try to focus on Karma Yoga Reference :  "Karm Sanyas" refers to complete renunciation of action, essentially withdrawing from worldly duties to fully dedicate oneself to spiritual practices, while "Karm Yog" means performing actions without attachment to the results, essentially doing one's duty in the world with a selfless attitude, both aiming for spiritual liberation but with different approaches to action;  "Karm Sanyas" is considered a more extreme form of detachment from worldly life compared to "Karm Yog" which encourages action within the world.  Key points: Karm Sanyas:  Focuses on complete renunciation of worldly actions.   Suitable for those who have transcended worldly attachments and desire full immersion in spiritual practices.   May involve actively withdrawing from social responsibilities.  Karm Yog:  Emphasizes performing actions without attachment to the outcome.   Encourages fulfilling one's duties in the world while maintaining a detached mindset.   Considered a more accessible path for most people as it allows for spiritual growth within daily life.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=491 12 so Shri Krishna says practice this much, giving up attachment to the fruits, so what is the proof that we have given up attachment to the fruits, the proof is that when things don't work out the way we want, we are not disturbed, that is the proof. If we become disturbed, that means we are attached https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=556 13 a practical example: for my preaching, my chief organizer, he was a young boy,  20 year old,  when my parvachan would not work (,i.e., hardly few people would attend), he would start crying – I used to tell him,  if you are so disturbed  then you are not doing it for God, you  are doing it for your own sake and if  you are doing it for God, then what is  the reason to be disturbed, maybe He  didn't want it,  whatever it is, we put in our best  efforts that's what God says     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=587 14 Kripalu ji maharaj said, look this preaching is not an easy job, so if you have only eight people who are coming to listen to you, just think that they are the eight Mahasakhis of Radharani, you are lecturing to the Mahasakhis &  if there are even less, be happy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=667 15 In case of bad results, people commit suicides because the training to handle failure is not given,  but if you are detached, it doesn't  matter, all that God sees is did you try your best ?  never mind the results.  So Shri Krishna says that such wise  people  who have given up attachment to the  fruits,  now the externals  are less important to them (they do need  the external to eat and drink),  but it doesn't matter whether somebody  is praising or criticizing   whether it is hot or whether it is cold  and all these things they become  Impervious (have no effect)  to the external circumstances  and that victory over the self is what is spiritual   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvY8o4GgcSU&t=781

The results will be of all kinds in the

0:05

world sometimes a lot of success

0:07

sometimes a lot of failure sometimes

0:10

nothing

0:11

if you can remain normal through all of

0:15

this that is the victory to remain

0:19

normal in success is no big deal

0:22

Society is teaching us how

0:26

to be successful

0:28

but they should teach us how to handle

0:30

failure

0:31

because failure is far more common than

0:34

success

0:36

anybody who succeeds actually fails 10

0:39

times before reaching that success and

0:42

they are not taught how to handle

0:43

failure

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 Verse 20 Chanting

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 Verse 21 Translation by Swami Mukundananda

1:23

such people

1:25

having given up attachments to the

1:29

fruits of their actions

1:31

are always satisfied

1:35

and not dependent upon external things

1:40

despite engaging in activities

1:44

they do not do anything at all

Commentary by Swami Mukundananda

1:51

what an interesting concept

1:53

philosophical concept it is

1:56

they are doing everything and yet not

1:59

doing anything at all

2:03

so

2:05

why because they have given up

2:07

attachment to the fruits of their

2:10

activities

2:12

so they have given up (worldly) desire because

2:16

they know From (worldly) Desire will come anger

2:19

and greed

2:22

Guru Gobind Singh he was the tenth of

2:25

the Sikh gurus

2:27

and he was actually fighting a war

2:29

because at that time India was being

2:31

overrun

2:33

by these cruel Muslim rulers

2:37

so he had actually galvanized the whole

2:40

Army

2:42

and they were fighting these wars to

2:45

protect the Hindus

2:47

in one such War he threw the opponent

2:51

on the ground

2:53

and he got onto his chest to kill him

2:57

when the opponent spat on him

3:00

and Guru Gobind singh ji 

3:03

left him there and started walking off

3:07

somebody asked you were going to kill

3:10

him what happened

3:12

he said until now it was a dharam yudh I

3:16

was just doing my duty

3:18

but now that he spat on me I have

3:20

become angry

3:22

and when I am angry it will no longer

3:25

remain in dharm-yudh I'll be acting out

3:27

of anger that is why I have just left it

3:30

I am leaving

3:31

so you see there he is fighting a war

3:35

and yet he is doing nothing

3:37

and that is the state that Arjun is

3:40

Verse BG 18.17

“One who is not motivated by false ego, whose intelligence is not entangled, though he kills men in this world, does not kill. Nor is he bound by his actions”

https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/17/

BG 18.11

“It is indeed impossible for an embodied being to give up all activities. But he who renounces the fruits of action is called one who has truly renounced”.

https://vedabase.io/en/library/bg/18/11/

3:55

somebody who gives up worldly duties

4:00

as laborious as troublesome

4:05

that is one kind of Vairagya

4:09

so Shri Krishna will say in the 

4:11

18th chapter, BG 18.8

4:24

you know why labor so much in the world

4:27

become a baba

4:30

in India if you are wearing saffron

4:33

clothes you'll get two rotis in any case

4:44

and then if you don't know the

4:46

Scriptures it doesn't matter

4:48

you become Mauni Baba

4:51

keep the vow of silence

4:55

if somebody comes to shishyas, they will

4:58

say guruji knows a lot but right now

5:00

he's got 12 year maun

5:03

and after 12 years extend it for another

5:06

12 years and after that another 12 years

5:09

and by then the disciples will be so

5:11

many it doesn't matter when anybody

5:13

knows or doesn't know

5:16

see there are all kinds. having

5:20

traveled around for 40 years

5:25

there was one Baba

5:27

so a very easy way to start a business

5:32

just people come

5:34

you offer your blessings “baccha, tera bhala ho”

5:38

Now ten people come. "Babaji, baccha nahi hota."

5:42

So, offer them all blessings “baccha, tera bhala ho”

5:45

now out of 10 by chance two will have

5:48

children out of sheer probability they

5:51

will go and do propaganda to 100 people

5:54

that I got the blessings of that Baba

5:56

and now I have children so now 100

5:58

people will come to Baba for the

6:01

blessings and he tells them all “baccha, tera bhala ho” but

6:04

now out of the 100, 20 will have out of

6:07

sheer probability they will go and inform

6:10

1000 that is how the business starts so

6:13

in case you lose your job here is a job

6:15

option

6:18

so

6:21

this is

6:23

not the Vairagya running away from the

6:27

world

6:29

true Vairagya 

6:31

where your motivation is not oh my God

6:35

so many problems

6:39

when I was first preaching in Orissa

6:41

about 35 years ago so there

6:45

was a lot of poverty and people did not

6:48

have jobs

6:50

and the devotional sentiments were there

6:52

in any case so every lecture series I

6:55

would give about five six boys girls

6:58

would come swamiji make me also swamiji

7:03

I would say how do I know that you will

7:05

last

7:07

just running away from worldly duties

7:10

because they are painful Shri Krishna

7:13

says this is Rajasic tyag

7:15

because when you take sannyas and you

7:18

experience difficulty there

7:20

then you will say do about turn from

7:23

here go back to the world

7:25

easy come easy go

7:28

on the other hand Shri Krishna says what

7:31

Is Sattvic tyag  BG 18.9

7:45

Arjun one who continues doing the duties

7:50

and rejects attachment from inside

7:55

gives up inner attachment

7:59

that I consider Sattvic tyag

8:02

so that is the “akarm” that he is

8:06

talking about where you have given up

8:09

attachment from inside

8:11

of course there is a fourth category as

8:14

well

8:15

that is karma sannyas so the karma

8:19

sannyas is the renunciant the Monk that

8:24

is taken under the guidance of the guru

8:27

who knows the path and who knows our

8:31

sanskars and the true motivation for

8:36

true vairagya

8:38

when the seva bhav develops the desire

8:43

to serve

8:44

and the desire to serve has become so

8:48

intense that the worldly works are now

8:50

becoming an impediment

8:52

we don't have enough time enough energy

8:55

left to serve and motivated by the

8:59

desire to serve when you leave the world

9:05

That vairagya will be stable

9:07

that will be Karma sannyas

9:10

and until then we should try to focus on

9:14

Karma Yoga

9:16

so Shri Krishna says practice this much

9:21

giving up attachment to the fruits

9:25

so what is the proof

9:27

that we have given up attachment to the

9:29

fruits

9:32

the proof is

9:35

that when things don't work out the way

9:37

we want we are not Disturbed that is the

9:41

proof

9:42

if we become Disturbed that means we

9:45

were attached

9:47

so in India about 20 years ago we used

9:51

to preach the model we would follow

9:54

there was that we go to a new town

9:58

fix some ground out there

10:00

and then my team of boys would go they

10:03

would fill the whole town with posters

10:05

Holdings banners leaflets

10:08

and put a tent

10:09

hoping that we will get four or five

10:11

thousand people

10:13

and sometimes it will work

10:16

sometimes it would not work

10:18

sometimes you just have 200 people there

10:22

so my chief organizer he was a young boy

10:24

20 year old

10:27

now when it would not work I used to go

10:29

on the last on the first day of the

10:31

parvachan and they would go five days in

10:33

advance to set it all up and when it

10:35

would not work he would start crying

10:38

I found it so odd you know young boy

10:41

crying like this

10:44

why are you crying you know the

10:46

pravachan failed

10:49

if you are so Disturbed

10:53

then you are not doing it for God you

10:55

are doing it for your own sake and if

10:57

you are doing it for God then what is

10:59

the reason to be disturbed maybe he

11:01

didn't want it

11:02

whatever it is we put in our best

11:05

efforts that's What God Says

11:07

Kripalu ji maharaj said, look

11:12

This preaching is not an easy job

11:14

so if you have only eight people who are

11:17

coming to listen to you just think that

11:20

they are the mahasakhis of radharani you

11:23

are lecturing to the mahasakhis

11:25

if there are even less be happy the

11:28

first time I started preaching

11:30

I

11:32

didn't know the mechanics of it

11:35

so 150 leaflets got printed and it was

11:40

fixed in one Temple

11:42

and I went and gave the leaflets to the

11:44

pujari that you distribute them to the

11:46

darshnarthis who come

11:49

Now the pujari probably did not, he either threw them

11:52

away or he used them as toilet paper

11:55

but whatever it was when I came for the

11:57

lecture there were seven people

12:00

and kripaluji Maharaj said you know if

12:02

there are eight people you think they

12:04

are the mahasakis and here there were

12:06

only seven people

12:09

so I said nevertheless I am the eighth

12:12

person

12:15

I closed my eyes and started speaking

12:19

and when I opened my eyes there was only

12:22

one person

12:23

so I closed my eyes because if I keep my

12:26

eyes open I may forget what I'm supposed

12:28

to speak

12:29

to keep my focus

12:31

but I opened my eyes after one and a

12:34

half hours I did not use to do a kirtan

12:36

in between

12:37

so when I opened my eyes there was only

12:39

one person I asked him where have all

12:41

the others gone

12:44

he said swamiji you were so boring they

12:46

had to leave they are not detached

12:51

I said why did you not go

12:53

he said you know that seat on which you

12:55

are sitting is my seat you get up then I

12:57

will go

13:01

so the results will be of all kinds in

13:05

the world sometimes a lot of success

13:08

sometimes a lot of failure sometimes

13:11

nothing now if you can remain normal

13:15

through all of this that is the victory

13:18

to remain normal in success is no big

13:22

deal

13:23

Society is teaching us how to be

13:27

successful

13:28

but they should teach us how to handle

13:31

failure

13:32

because failure is far more common than

13:35

success

13:37

anybody who succeeds actually fails 10

13:40

times before reaching their success and

13:43

they are not taught how to handle

13:44

failure

13:46

that's why I've had children of our

13:48

devotees our satsangis, entered College

13:52

had a little failure committed suicide

13:55

people are shocked what is happening

13:57

because the training is not given

14:00

but if you are detached it doesn't

14:04

matter did you try your best

14:08

well you know I could have tried better

14:11

and focus on trying better next time

14:14

never mind the results

14:16

so Shri Krishna says that such wise

14:20

people

14:22

who have given up attachment to the

14:25

fruits

14:27

now the externals

14:30

are less important to them they do need

14:34

the external to eat and drink

14:37

but it doesn't matter whether somebody

14:39

is praising or criticizing whether they

14:43

are receiving accolades or brick bats

14:46

whether it is hot or whether it is cold

14:48

and all these things they become

14:51

impervious

14:53

to the external circumstances

14:57

and that victory over the self

15:00

is what is spiritual

Seeking Selfless Love for God | Bhakti Lectures by Swami Mukundanand

Seeking Selfless Love for God | Bhakti Lectures by Swami Mukundanand

https://youtu.be/qTbHEUOXVyc Main Points: 1 How to Love God Selflessly? God says you love Me selflessly, and I am already a selfless lover, so let us establish this equation between ourselves, you serve Me and I will serve you   https://youtu.be/qTbHEUOXVyc&t=0 2 now supposing a bikhari (beggar) and an arabpati have a satta a trade, bikhari (beggar) says, Arabpati ji whatever you have, you give me whatever I have, I will give you, if the Arabpati falls for it then the bhikhari is going to win, not the Arabpati,  God is such a simpleton that He is willing to go for such a trade with the jivatma, He says let us trade what you have you give Me, what I have I will give you if only the jivatma is willing to believe this faith is what is lacking- supposing I start giving to God, will I not suffer so much loss, O my God ?  https://youtu.be/qTbHEUOXVyc&t=19 3 similarly, one bhikhari beggar method one King of Kings & on just giving one grain of wheat by beggar to King of Kings, he got one gold coin from the King of Kings - how the beggar wished & repented on missing the diamond opportunity that had he given everything of his, all would have been exchanged for so many gold coins  https://youtu.be/qTbHEUOXVyc&t=85 4 so similarly God says o soul, you love  Me, I will love you,  you give to Me, I will give to you, you  will give Me material things, I will give you  Divine things,  now the soul says, really ?  will you ? but I don't know !  so the lack of faith results in lack of  samarpan (surrender to God),  that is why this path of prem  or Divine love is so difficult   https://youtu.be/qTbHEUOXVyc&t=293 5 How to Attain Divine Love for God? Power of Selfless Love Tulsidas ji writes in Ramayan “verse” you know this bhakti is very rare, out of millions of liberated Saints, one gets that bhakti,  so the soul says, God, can You not give it (bhakti) more easily ? God says you want to fool Me ? if I give you bhakti right now and you will take advantage of it, how is that possible ? if you want bhakti, you will have to reach that point where you are free from all self-seeking https://youtu.be/qTbHEUOXVyc&t=332 6 so what is the way of reaching that stage (of not being self-seeking)? the way is what Kripalu ji maharaj  Says,  “seva”, o Lord I want to serve You. Seva means the desire to offer tan तन (body), man मन (mind) & dhan धन (wealth) for the pleasure of the Lord. If you are sweeping the temple, that is a seva if you are cooking for Him, that is a seva if you are giving in charity, that is a seva, so you serve with the tan man and dhan, you offer your all actions (thought, word & deed) as a service to the Lord for His pleasure   https://youtu.be/qTbHEUOXVyc&t=394 7 How to Serve God without Asking anything in Return?  Now somebody says, look I wanted happiness, if I had got rasgulla, peda (delicacies to eat), ,i.e., bhukti (material world pleasures), I would have got some happiness, and if I had got mukti, I would have got at least freedom from this material miseries, I would have got the sukh of mukti, and now you are saying don't desire your own happiness, but  desire only the happiness of God, then will I not become devoid of happiness ? poor guy, neither worldly happiness nor the happiness of Liberation, so this bhakt must be really miserable, that is the catch ! https://youtu.be/qTbHEUOXVyc&t=438 8 the catch is that you don't ask God for anything, you only give and give and He will give you the highest happiness, that is the happiness of bhakti   https://youtu.be/qTbHEUOXVyc&t=479 9 The Brahm-anand of mukti (,i.e,the happiness of attaining liberation or Brahm – Formless aspect of God) when compared to the Prem-ananda bhakti (Divine Love bliss of the Personal Form of God) is like an ocean in front of the water in the hoof print of a little calf, the hoof print of a little calf compare that to Brahm-anand and the Bliss you get in bhakti compare that to Prem-anand, compare that to ocean, so when we learn to give to God that you don't seek anything but you get the highest thing   https://youtu.be/qTbHEUOXVyc&t=514 Transcript How to Love God Selflessly?

How to Clear Your Karmas QUICKLY? Lord Krishna answers - by Swami Mukundanand

https://youtu.be/KkhcxLrADxc

*Main points*: 1 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 31: those who abide by these teachings of Mine with profound faith and free from envy, are released from the bondage of karma  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=52 2 Those who accept My ”matt” (opinion), Sri Krishna is not saying principle, one is Siddhanth, siddhanth is irrevocable principle, nobody can cut it, it is the truth, now God is giving this knowledge but He is out of His humbleness saying this is My opinion   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=113 3 you see when Shri Krishna says by karma yoga you will attain God, that is the truth, by karma sannyas, you will attain God, that is a truth, that is a Siddhanth, by surrendering your mind completely to Him, you will receive His grace that is an eternal truth, but when He says Arjun, between these two Paths, I recommend this path, that is His opinion, it's not obligatory https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=145 4 as I always say that if you wish to do the practical, the theory must be clear, if in regard to the theory there are all cob webs in the mind, then in that confusion you cannot do practical properly   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=221 5 so the first step is to get all the knowledge clear, what is this atman (soul), what is God, what is Maya, what is karma, what is gyan, what is Bhakti, clarify the theory and Shri Krishna has done that in great detail in this chapter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=241 6 now if you remain in knowledge, ultimately that doesn't amount to anything. If you put on a donkey, a load of chandan sandalwood, the donkey only knows its weight, it doesn't realize it's carrying chandan it may be carrying stones for all it knows, similarly we learn up all the scriptures but we don't put them into action, the scriptures say then we are like that donkey carrying the chandan, we have no realization so knowledge must be followed by action   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=274 7 Krishna says that if you follow this path (of Bhakti) these are the virtues that you will get but He is saying that in order to do that, you will need faith you will need dedication, so even the Lord gives us the knowledge, but grants us the free will to choose what we like, He is not imposing it upon us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=345 8 now God has given us all free will, at every moment, we have a choice to make, we have the choice, should i spend the evening receiving the knowledge of the Bhagavad-Gita from Swami ji, or should I be relaxing in the sofa of my drawing room watching television, or should I be going for a game of golf with my friend, or should I sit in the bar and drink alcohol, so many choices, infinite choices at every moment, even while sitting in the Bhagavad-Gita class you have the choice should I be trying to focus completely on what Swami ji is saying or shall I let my mind loose and let it wander around a little bit for some side enjoyment, so every moment we have a choice  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=386 9 now some people say why did God give us a choice ? so if God had not given us a choice, we would do nothing wrong, we would have to do everything that he wanted us to do, why is this choice been given to us and then our children use it wrongly to indulge in drugs and smoking etc, why this defect in God's world, His design ?  The fact is that if God had not given us any free will, we would do nothing wrong but we would also do nothing right because to do something right you need a choice, for example, a machine is neither good nor bad, just doing what it's supposed to do but then a machine doesn't have the ability to love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=446 10 in order to love, you need the free will, only somebody who has the free will, can choose all right, should I love God, no I'll love him after retirement, no this life i've got a doubt whether there's God or not, in next life I'll see to it, so this free will gives us the option and it gives us the opportunity to love God, so He wants us to love Him and that is why He has given us a free will   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=502 11 scientists who are analyzing this body and in their reductionist understanding assuming it to be mere combination of atoms and molecules, let them explain what is this free will, if everything is a combination of atoms and molecules, there is no scope for free will, then our actions are absolutely decided by the state of our atoms and molecules and the combination of them. Does science permit free will ?, and yet all scientists realize that they have a free will, there was once a scientist who used to keep a horseshoe in his house as he believed that that a horseshoe is auspiciousthat a horseshoe will give you good luck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=542 12 how is this free will explained on the  basis of science ?  There is no explanation but it exists, it has been given to us by God so  that we can love Him    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=644 13 now we are misutilizing it (our God given free will) and getting into trouble, but God knows in His wonderful arrangement, they (people) will slowly learn, if by misutilizing the free wil, l we could be happy, then we could get away from God permanently. Let's say forgetting God,  somebody says I don't choose God, I choose maya, and that person becomes happy then God would have something to worry about, oh this child of mine has got permanently separated from Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=657 14 but God has created this maya in such a  way, that it keeps giving slaps to souls,   you want to enjoy separate from God ?  all right, now your cholesterol is going  up, now what are you going to do ?  now you've got a problem in the family,  now what ?  now the business is on the decline, now  what ?  so the material energy ensures that soul is somehow tormented & directed towards God , i.e., away from false attractions of this temporary world   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=699 15 the Ramayana says “verse”  “हिम ते अनल प्रकट बरु होई, विमुख राम सुख पाव् न कोई” Tulsidas ji gives now, not his opinion, but he gives the siddhant, he says fire may be created from ice, this impossible may become possible, but by being vimukha (separated) from Ram, ,i.e., separated from God in our consciousness, nobody can be happy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=727 16 so God has given us the free will,  He has given us the opportunity to make  mistakes,  and He has created all these rectifiers  in his material energy, so that we slowly  slowly keep learning,  growing, maturing,  He knows one day,  we will reach that ultimate perfection  and that is the goal of religion & of entire humanity   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=769 17 Swami Vivekananda said these prophets were not unique, we say they were unique, you know they were so pure, I can never be like that, so I have got all the right to continue sinning, no, these prophets were not unique, they were men as you and I and they had attained super consciousness and you and I can do the same, the very fact that one man attained that state indicates that all men can do so and that ultimately is religion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=803 18 so what is religion,  to re-link,  we've broken the link with God, to  re-link that is religion,  that is yog,  union,  to unite,  so when the individual soul  unites with the supreme soul,  that is yog,  that is religion,  that is the purpose of all spirituality  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=841 19 Kripaluji Maharaj says the soul is in “viyog” separated from God, true yog is that which unites the soul with God and if it doesn't unite the soul with God, then it is not “yog” it Is “ku-yog”, so that is the purpose of all spirituality and that is the purpose of our life, to go back to our source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=916 20 all religions are saying the same thing,  the Quran Sharif ends here  “verse”, Allah (God) made you for this purpose,  you people of faith  that you should do His ibadat,  His mohabbat,  and if you do it you are “insaan”,  this word in “insaan” is coming from the  arabi arabics root “uns”  which means surrender to God,  and one who doesn't do it is “shaitaan”,  the Bible  also said the first and foremost  commandment is to love the lord thy God  with all thy heart and all thy might and  all thy soul   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=974 21 so we human beings have been created, we have come in this world, so that we should learn to love Him and perfect our lives, but that love requires the free will, if there is force, there is no love, you experienced it with your own children, once they are 15 force doesn't work, it rebounds, even God does not force, He merely gives the knowledge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=1025 22 Lord Rama gave one lecture, Shri  krishna's lecture is the Bhagavad-Gita,  Lord Rama gave one lecture in His 11,000  years of age,  all the residents of Ayodhya came, even  guru Vashisht came,  so Rama said  “बड़े भाग मानुष तनु पावा सुर दुर्लभ सब ग्रंथन्हि गावा”,  the human form you have received is very  Precious,  it is desired even by the celestial gods,  the devatas,  make me a human,  so utilize this form  very carefully,  very wisely,  and He gave them a whole set of  instructions  which is there in uttar-kand,   I have given you the knowlege  hear it,  think about it do what you like,  that is how shri Krishna concludes the  Gita as well,  in the 18th chapter towards the end (BG 18.63), He  says,  now it is up to you,  do what you wish   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=1090 23 so to love God means to exercise our free will in His direction, not in the past, you know I surrendered to Him five years ago, so now there's nothing to do. Surrender means, at every moment because at every moment, God is giving you a choice, so at every moment to choose God, that is the manifestation of our love to God, that is our real surrender https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=1195 24 so Shri Krishna has given Arjun the call  for action,  now He is giving him the choice  and  inducing him  by telling him that Arjun, if with  faith, dedication  and devotion,  you follow this instruction of Mine,  then you will find yourself reaching the  ultimate goal   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkhcxLrADxc&t=1225 Transcript Intro 0:00 [Music] 0:02 god has given us all free will at every 0:07 moment we have a choice should i spend 0:10 the evening receiving the knowledge of 0:13 the bhagavad-gita from swamiji uh should 0:15 i be relaxing in the sofa of my drawing 0:18 room watching television or should i be 0:20 going for a game of golf with my friend 0:23 or should i sit in the bar and drink 0:25 alcohol so every moment we have a choice 0:28 some people say why is this choice been 0:31 given to us and then our children use it 0:34 wrongly to indulge in drugs and smoking 0:37 etc why this defect in god's world with 0:40 design 0:44 gita chapter 3 karma yoga 0:47 verse chanting is followed by 0:49 translation and commentary by swami 0:52 mukundananda 0:55 [Music] Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 31 Chanting 1:03 [Music] 1:17 [Music] Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 31 Translation by Swami Mukundananda 1:21 those who abide 1:24 by these teachings of mind 1:27 with profound faith 1:30 and free from envy 1:32 are released 1:34 from the bondage of karma Commentary by Swami Mukundananda 1:53 opinion 1:55 sri krishna is not saying principle one 1:58 is siddhanth 2:00 siddhanth is 2:02 irrevocable principle 2:04 nobody can cut it 2:06 it is the truth 2:09 now god is giving this knowledge 2:13 but he is out of his humbleness saying 2:16 this is my opinion 2:19 actually shri krishna 2:21 he is also presenting an opinion 2:25 you see when shri krishna says by karma 2:28 yoga you will attain god 2:30 that is the truth 2:32 by karma sannyas you will attain god 2:35 that is a truth that is a siddhanth 2:38 by surrendering your mind completely to 2:41 him you will receive his grace that is 2:44 an eternal truth 2:46 but when he says arjun between these two 2:50 paths 2:51 i recommend this path 2:53 that is his opinion 2:58 it's not obligatory 3:00 there are people who choose the path of 3:02 sannyas shri krishna himself recommended 3:06 i was mentioning yesterday 3:11 just renounce everything and perform 3:13 your sadhana 3:15 that was for a different purpose this is 3:18 for a different purpose the teachers 3:20 preach according to time place and 3:22 circumstance 3:24 so shri krishna out of his humbleness 3:27 and accuracy is saying arjun 3:30 when i am telling you that you be a 3:33 karma yogi that is my opinion 3:36 so shri krishna first gave that 3:38 knowledge 3:40 to our church 3:41 as i always say that if you wish to do 3:44 the practical 3:46 the theory must be clear 3:50 if in regard to the theory there are all 3:52 cob webs in the mind 3:56 then in that confusion you cannot do 3:59 practical properly 4:01 so the first step is to get all the 4:04 knowledge clear what is this atman what 4:08 is god what is 4:10 maya what is karma what is gyan what is 4:13 bhakti clarify the theory 4:17 and shri krishna has done that in great 4:20 detail in this chapter 4:22 explaining work the signs of work karma 4:26 yoga then 4:29 in the previous verse 4:31 was the call for action 4:34 now if you remain in knowledge 4:39 ultimately that doesn't 4:42 [Music] 4:54 a load of chandan sandalwood 4:58 the donkey only knows its weight 5:01 it doesn't realize it's carrying chandan 5:03 it may be carrying stones for all it 5:05 knows 5:07 similarly we learn up all the scriptures 5:12 but we don't put them into action 5:17 the scriptures say then we are like that 5:20 donkey carrying the chandan 5:23 we have no realization 5:26 so knowledge must be followed by action 5:30 and shri krishna gave the call for 5:32 action 5:33 in the previous verse he says 5:35 now 5:36 do this 5:39 and in this verse 5:41 he is now giving consequences 5:45 that if 5:46 you follow this path 5:49 these are the virtues that you will get 5:54 but he is saying 5:56 that in order to do that 5:58 you will need faith 6:00 you will need dedication 6:05 so 6:07 even the lord 6:10 gives us the knowledge 6:13 but grants us the free will to choose 6:16 what we like 6:18 he is not imposing it upon us 6:22 arjun i am god you have to do this 6:26 now 6:27 god has 6:29 given us all free will 6:32 at every moment we have a choice between 6:36 us 6:38 we had the choice 6:40 should i spend the evening 6:43 receiving the knowledge of the 6:45 bhagavad-gita from swamiji 6:48 uh should i be relaxing in the sofa of 6:51 my drawing room watching television 6:54 or should i be going for a game of golf 6:56 with my friend 6:58 or should i sit in the bar and drink 7:00 alcohol 7:01 so many choices 7:03 infinite choices at every moment 7:06 even while sitting in the bhagavad-gita 7:08 class you have the choice should i be 7:10 trying to focus completely on what 7:13 swamiji is saying or shall i let my mind 7:16 loose and let it wander around a little 7:18 bit 7:19 for some side enjoyment 7:22 so every moment we have a choice 7:26 now some people say why did god give us 7:28 a choice 7:30 so if he had not given us a choice we 7:32 would do nothing wrong 7:35 we would have to do everything that he 7:37 wanted us to do 7:39 why is this choice been given to us and 7:42 then our children use it wrongly to 7:46 indulge in drugs and smoking etc 7:50 why this defect in god's world his 7:52 design 7:54 the fact is 7:55 that if he had a choice 7:58 we would do nothing wrong but we would 8:00 also do nothing right 8:02 because to do something right you need a 8:05 choice 8:06 i mean a machine 8:08 is neither good nor bad 8:11 just doing what it's supposed to do 8:14 but then a machine 8:16 doesn't have the ability to love 8:19 [Music] 8:22 in order to love 8:24 you need the free will 8:29 only somebody who has the free will can 8:32 choose all right should i love god no 8:36 i'll love him after retirement 8:40 no this life i've got a doubt whether 8:42 there's god or not next life i'll see to 8:44 it 8:45 so this free will 8:47 gives us the option 8:49 and it gives us the opportunity 8:52 to love god so he wants us to love him 8:57 and that is why he has given us a free 9:00 will 9:02 scientists 9:05 who 9:06 are analyzing this body 9:09 and 9:10 in their reductionist understanding 9:13 assuming it to be mere combination of 9:15 atoms and molecules 9:19 let them explain what is this free will 9:23 if everything is a combination of atoms 9:26 and molecules there is no scope for free 9:29 will 9:31 then our actions are absolutely decided 9:35 by the state of our atoms and molecules 9:38 and the combination of them 9:40 does science permit 9:43 free will 9:45 and yet all scientists realize 9:49 that they have a free will 9:52 there was once a scientist 9:55 who used to keep a horseshoe in his 9:57 house 9:59 so 10:01 somebody asked him that why do you keep 10:03 a horseshoe this superstitious thing 10:07 he said you know people have told me 10:09 that a horseshoe is auspicious so i keep 10:12 it 10:14 that person said but scientists are not 10:16 superstitious don't tell me you believe 10:19 that a horseshoe will give you good luck 10:22 no but this person told me that whether 10:24 you believe or not believe the horseshoe 10:27 will do its work 10:28 that's why i'm keeping it there 10:31 now each scientist is realizing 10:36 that there is this thing called free 10:39 will 10:43 now 10:44 how is this free will explained on the 10:46 basis of science 10:48 there is no explanation 10:51 but it exists 10:52 it has been given to us by god 10:56 so 10:57 that we can love him now we are 11:01 misutilizing it 11:03 and getting into trouble 11:05 but god knows in his wonderful 11:07 arrangement 11:09 they will slowly learn 11:12 if by misutilizing the free will we 11:15 could be happy 11:17 then we could get away from god 11:19 permanently 11:22 let's say forgetting god you know 11:23 somebody says i don't choose god i 11:25 choose maya 11:27 and that person becomes happy 11:31 then god would have something to worry 11:33 about oh 11:35 this child of mine has got permanently 11:37 separated 11:39 but god has created this maya in such a 11:42 way that it keeps giving slaps 11:47 you want to enjoy separate from god 11:49 all right now your cholesterol is going 11:52 up now what are you going to do 11:55 now you've got a problem in the family 11:56 now what 11:58 now the business is on the decline now 12:00 what 12:01 so the material energy ensures 12:07 the ramayana says 12:21 gives now not his opinion he gives the 12:24 siddhant 12:26 he says 12:31 fire may be created from ice 12:34 this impossible may become possible 12:38 but vimukharam 12:41 separated from god in our consciousness 12:45 nobody can be happy 12:49 so 12:50 god has given us the free will 12:53 he has given us the opportunity to make 12:56 mistakes 12:57 and he has created all these rectifiers 13:01 in his material energy so that we slowly 13:04 slowly slowly keep learning 13:08 growing maturing 13:10 he knows one day 13:12 we will reach that ultimate perfection 13:17 and that is the goal of religion 13:23 swami vivekananda said 13:26 these prophets 13:28 were not unique 13:31 we say they were unique you know they 13:33 were so pure i can never be like that so 13:35 i have got all right to continue sinning 13:38 no these prophets were not unique they 13:41 were men as you and i 13:43 and they had attained super 13:45 consciousness 13:46 and you and i can do the same 13:49 the very fact that one man attained that 13:52 state 13:53 indicates that all men can do so 13:56 and that ultimately is a religion 14:01 so what is religion 14:03 religion 14:06 to re-link 14:09 we've broken the link with god to 14:11 re-link that is religion 14:14 that is yog 14:16 so yoga 14:18 is not yoga 14:21 i mean there's a slight difference you 14:22 know yoga is very popular 14:24 every 10th person in the western world 14:27 nowadays is practicing yoga 14:30 and the latest fashion 14:33 is to be a yoga teacher 14:37 even dan brown and his angels and demons 14:40 his heroine is a yoga teacher 14:42 so the latest fashionable thing is to be 14:45 a yoga teacher 14:48 this yogg 14:51 yoga doesn't agree exist in sanskrit 14:53 sanskrit has got yog and yoga means 14:58 union 15:00 to unite 15:02 so when the individual soul 15:04 unites with the supreme soul 15:08 that is yog 15:10 that is religion 15:12 that is the purpose of all spirituality 15:16 kripaluji mahad says 15:38 the soul is in viog 15:40 separated from god 15:42 true yoga 15:44 is that which unites the soul with god 15:47 now whether it's 15:50 whatever if it is uniting the soul with 15:52 god it is true yoke 15:56 and if it doesn't then it is not yog it 16:00 is 16:02 so 16:03 that is the purpose of all 16:06 spirituality and that is the purpose of 16:10 our life to go back to our source 16:14 all religions are saying the same thing 16:16 the quran sharif ends here 16:20 in 16:32 of faith 16:33 that you should do his ibadat 16:36 his mohabbat 16:38 and if you do it you are insane 16:40 this word in san is coming from the 16:43 arabi arabics root uns 16:47 which means surrender to god 16:49 and one who doesn't do it is shaitaan 16:53 so all of them that is what the bible 16:55 also said the first and foremost 16:58 commandment is to love the lord thy god 17:01 with all thy heart and all thy might and 17:03 all thy soul 17:05 so we human beings have been created 17:09 we have come in this world 17:11 so that we should learn to love him and 17:14 perfect our lives 17:16 but that love requires the free will 17:21 if there is force 17:23 there is no love 17:25 you experienced it with your own 17:27 children 17:28 once they are 15 17:30 force doesn't work 17:32 it rebounds 17:34 people come to me swamiji you know 17:37 how can i make my child spiritual 17:41 i say how old is your child 17:44 he's 17:45 now 17:47 as he just stand back it's better 17:50 you try and force him he's not going to 17:53 listen 17:54 let the world and you give him good 17:57 opportunity for knowledge but at this 18:00 stage you can't force him 18:02 so this 18:04 even god does not force 18:07 he merely gives the knowledge 18:10 lord rama gave one lecture shri 18:14 krishna's lecture is the bhagavad-gita 18:17 lord ram gave one lecture in his 11 000 18:20 years 18:30 all the residents of ayudhya came even 18:33 guru vashisht came 18:36 so ram said 18:40 surah 18:47 the human form you have received is very 18:49 precious 18:50 it is desired even by the celestial gods 18:54 the devatas 18:56 make me a human 18:58 so utilize this form 19:00 very carefully 19:02 very wisely 19:04 and he gave them a whole set of 19:05 instructions 19:07 which is there and uttar can't 19:18 i have given you the knowledge 19:21 hear it 19:22 think about it do what you like 19:26 that is how shri krishna concludes the 19:28 gita as well 19:32 in the 18th chapter towards the end he 19:34 says 19:51 now it is up to you 19:53 do what you wish 19:55 so to love god means to exercise our 19:59 free will in his direction 20:03 not in the 20:04 past you know i surrendered to him five 20:07 years ago so now there's nothing to do 20:10 at every moment 20:13 because at every moment he's giving you 20:16 a choice 20:17 so at every moment to choose god 20:21 that is the manifestation of our love 20:25 so shri krishna has given arjun the call 20:28 for action 20:30 now he is giving him the choice 20:34 and 20:36 inducing him 20:37 by telling him that our churn if with 20:41 faith dedication 20:44 and devotion 20:45 you follow this instruction of mine 20:49 then you will find yourself reaching the 20:53 ultimate goal 21:02 [Music] 21:07 you Standby link (in case youtube link
