LET HAPPINESS BE REALIZED

       

If one only remains resting in consciousness, seeing oneself distinct from the body, then even now you will become happy, peaceful and free from bonds.

I am the doer. Cobra in form of this ego has bitten EMBODIED SELF SOUL I am not the doer; this determination shall lead it to happiness.

Why a person is gloomy.

It is the mind which reflects the reaction to a particular situation.

A particular reaction may bring a sort of happiness to one and distress to other.

Same situation reflecting two reactions in two different minds is stark reality.

It is reality that the self soul has no connection with mind, intellect, senses and body.

It is their illuminator.

It is witness of every situation.

While listening, it appears to be using ear, while seeing, it appears to be using eye.

This can be applied to all senses but actually senses are roaming in their object.

In chapter 5 chapter of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta Lord Krishna reveals in verse 8 and 9:

nev kinchitkromiiti yukto manyet tatvavit    I
pashayanshrivarhsparshanjigharannashangachhanswapansavshan II
parlapanvisrijinangreharhanunmishannimishanapi I
indriyarhiindrayartheshu vartant iti dharyan      II   (5.8-9)

The wise man who has come to the reality of things must believe, even though seeing, hearing, breathing, smelling, eating, or drinking , walking, sleeping, breathing, speaking, answering call of nature, grasping, opening and closing the eyes,, that he does nothing, holding that senses are moving in their objects.

The Karamyogi who has conquered his mind and mastered his senses, with pure heart and who has identified him / her self with self/Lord of all beings remains unaffected, even though performing action.

Righteousness and unrighteousness, pleasure and pain are evolutes which purely pertain to mind and these are no concern of yours.

You are neither the doer of these acts nor the reaper of their consequences, so you are always free.

Since embodied soul identifying with mind seems to be bitten by the black snake ego of doer ship, it is necessary to drink the antidote of faith that self soul is not the doer and then you are happy to be happy.

SURRENDER UNTO LORD

Lord Krishna tells Arjun in chapter 18 of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta that it is utter out of ego that he wants to withdraw from fighting but being under the sway of destiny he shall have to perform his duty may be in a  hesitating manner.

In verse 59 and 60 Lord Krishna says:

Yadahankaramashrityna     yotsaya iti     manyase I

Mithyaesh vayavsayate prikritistwam niyokshayati II

Sawbhavjen kontey          nibadhah        svenkarmarha I

Kartumnechhesi  yanmohatkrishayasiavashoapi tat II (18.59-60)       

Out of egotism if you believe that you will not fight, it is vain to resolve this as nature will drive to the act.

Bounden to do act by your nature, whatever you think not to do, YOU will be driven to perform helplessly.

Lord is telling Arjun in the mid of battle field, that his resolve to not to fight his nears and dears is false.

If he indulges in fighting by accepting the his dictate, it will certainly lead to liberation and if it is done due to enforcement of pre existing nature it shall be binding and lead to bondage.  

By nature he is bound to retaliate in battle and his actions are prescribed by the very nature as a born soldier. But all his resolve is the result of egotism of embodiment and its relations and which is false and none existing.

Embodied soul sometime is driven to those acts which it never thought of doing but this all due karmic law of material nature.

Lord Krishna has emphasized on self less performance of duties assigned by nature. It is the Lord himself seated in all being setting every one to perform acts for which he is merely a witness. Self soul presumes itself to be doer whereas Lord only sees and advices self soul to detach itself from the acts of mind, intellect and senses.

Lord Krishna says in verse 61 and 82 of chapter 18:

Ishwarah          sarvbhutanam     hrideshe   arjun  tishathati  I

Bhramayansarvbhutani           yantrarhurhani       mayayya  II

Tamev              sharnam         gachh       sarvbhaven  bharat   I

 Tatprasadpram shantim sthanam prapasayasi shashvatam II

                                                                                 (18.61-62)     

Arjun! God abides in the heart of all creatures, causing them to revolve, according to their karmas, by His illusive power, seated as those beings as DRIVER of the vehicle of body.

Take shelter in Him alone, with all your being, Arjun! By His mere grace you shall attain supreme peace and the eternal state.

It is the Lord seated in the hearts of all beings, forcing them to undergo the reaction/fruits of their past deeds, through his inscrutable power of three qualities of nature.

He puts them in chariot of embodiment, revolving them just like a wooden doll being revolved by its holder.

Lord Krishna incites Arjun to seek the shelter of all pervading self by all and every resolve. By his mere grace, he shall find eternal state and supreme   peace.

He who worships lord constantly and exclusively, knowing his presence in all beings, always do the right things by mind, body shunning ego of doer ship.

Surrendering to him completely is supreme form of devotion as prescribed by the Lord.

     

Material Nature Works out all Actions

Lord Krishna emphasizes the reality of actions in a particular embodiment being held by self soul. Embodied self soul being eternal and pure can not be doer but due to its sin of identification with mind it assumes itself to be the doer.

In verse 27 of chapter three in Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta Lord Krishna says:

         Parkritev kriyamarhani gurheih karmarhi sarvashah I

        Ahankarvimurhatma             kartaahamiti manyate  II

All actions are being performed by modes of nature, but with mind deluded by egoism, an otherwise imprisoned and embodied soul thinks itself doer.
He, who has an insight of respective spheres of the qualities of nature and their actions, holding that qualities are playing with qualities alone, does not attach to them.
In these verses Lord Krishna has made it clear that the satva (Goodness), rajas (Passion) and tamsa (Ignorance) qualities of nature are the cause of mind, body, and senses and theses also generate objects of senses.
The actions an embodiment performs during day, night in other sphere of time  are all result of these qualities and their area of action not only extends to human world but Godly Spheres are also in their domain.

          Saktah  karmarhiavithvano yatha kurwanti bharat I
        Kuryadvidvanstathaasaktachikirshurloksangraham II (3.24)

Arjun! As unwise act with attachment, so should do the wise man seeking maintenance of world order without attachment.


Attachment with actions is binding.  Wiseman should also act and do all prescribed duties coming in routine but without attachment to them .in this way embodied soul is liberated once for all from cycle of birth and death by reaching lord in this very life.
Ignorant does act with attachment and wise does act but without attachment. Both look doing acts in same way but one attains liberation and bondage.
           Na budhibhedam janyedagyanam karamsanginam I
          Joshyetsarvakarmarhi vidvanyuktah samacharan    II (3.25)
A wise man established in self should not unsettle the mind of ignorant attached to action, but should get them to perform all their duties, performing his own duties as well.
Ignorant and Wiseman both seem to perform their respective acts caused by nature, but wise man doing acts is not to cause confusion in the mind of ignorant attached to actions. He should not ask them for ignoring their duties as being performed by them, as they too are bound to do all acts as per their fruits of action.
       
Exclusive satvica attain bodies of Demigods, rajas become Yakshs etc. and tamsika attain embodiments of trees, birds and other like beings. but none is the without effect of these qualities.
  Na tadasti prthivayam va divi            deveshu va punah I
  Satvam  prikritiermuktam  yadebhi sayattribhigurheih  II (18.40)

But a wise man sees the reality and does see the nature performing and result in all action spontaneously. But ignorant one out of egoism thinks him the doer. This egoism is the cause of attachment with mind, senses and body. Soul is not the embodiment, it is different from this elements’ stuff, but attachment with all these modification are so deluding that ‘self’ himself ever free from nature, thinks itself a doer of these actions.
Wise sees through the meddling of qualities of nature and keeps on watching them to perform and by shedding egoism of doer attains liberation
            Parkritegurhsamudhah  sajjante gurhkarmasu I
           Tankritsanvido      mandankritsanna vichalyet  II  (3.29)
Deluded by qualities of nature, persons remain attached to them and their actions; the man of perfect knowledge should not unsettle those ignorant.
if wise man having obtained perfect knowledge come across ignorant attached to gunas and their actions due to their inherent attachment with qualities of nature should not unsettle their mind.
Self soul is responsible to liberate or bind itself. Wisdom is blessed by the grace of lord and it is through this realization bestows on blessed one. Ignorance and delusion is general phenomena. One is shackled to what seems to be treadmill that is powered by greed generated by rajas quality of nature. it takes one from one pursuit  of worldly acquisition to another without satisfaction. Whether greed is for money, power or fame, one desires more of it. So energy is spent on what one has and acquiring what one does not have. One is so preoccupied to satisfy this greed that there is no time and energy to strive for liberation.
In such a situation wise man’s advice is likely to end without any effect on deluded souls. Detachment is must for liberation and it comes automatically by devotion to lord. This is the reason that makes lord to deprive his devotees all that which creates attachment and ego.

                  Mayisarvarhi karmarhi sanyas adhiatmchetsa  I
                Nirashirnirmamo bhutwa yudhasv vigatjavarah II  (3.30)

Therefore dedicating all actions to Me with your mind fixed on Me the Self of all, freed from hope and attachment, your mental ailment cured, you fight in battle.
Whose mind is free from the sense of doer ship, is free from act of bondage emanating from attachment.
Lord says all actions devoted to him,  mind fixed on him, shall cause freedom from hope and attachment. Thus Arjun shall be free from attachment to his relatives while fighting against them.
Self is the only all pervading, in form of soul, mind and bodies of all, and then there is no question of any thing else being in existence. Seeing bodies of his nears and dears different one from that of his own self, had caused a delusion and that delusion was caused by lord himself to give sermons for emancipation to all mankind suffering from ailment of attachment, hope, through embodiment of Arjun.
Attachment and hope causing despair and sufferings are the root cause of ignorance.
Evil and good people are all sons of Lord.
Lord Plays his eternal play in way that those who have forgotten their real form should tend to hear those tastes and realize their real form of being part of supreme.
Like the Sun being one is seen different in pots of water, but when established in one, the ignorance form of sun vanishes.
So supreme self established one in all, one does not perceives verities.
It is the egoism of embodied soul which is causing this ignorance       
     

     

MESSAGE OF LORD KRISHNA

In Bhagwad Geeta Lord Krishna has dealt with the problems which embodied soul come across during their existence in a particular body and even after that.
Lord Krishna has given a message to Arjun representing human race, to recognize and realize themselves as reflection of Supreme who himself is not the doer.
Like Supreme Self Lord Krishna self soul is the master.
Under his domain nature creates and destroys beings as per their attachment with it.
In chapter three of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta Lord says:
  Lokeasamin duvidha nishtha pura prokta mayaanangh I
 Gyanyogen sankhayanam karamyogen  yoginam II (3.3)
Lord Krishna says: In this planet two courses of spiritual faith have been enunciated by me in the past. For Wiseman it is the path of wisdom and for man of action it proceeds with the path of action
Lord has prescribed two paths to attain self realization.
For those who want to know the Lord through wisdom, it comes through only wisdom to realize Him and those who are prone to actions,   path of selfless action, as prescribed in next verses, leads the follower, to Him.
  Na karmarhnamanarambhanneshkarmayam purshoashnute I
 Na ch  sanyasandev  sidhim      adhigachhati   II (3.4)
 Embodied ‘self soul’ does not attain freedom of action without entering into action; nor does he reach perfection by merely ceasing to act.
Acts which has been done with desire of fruits in one’s past bodies, which are when ready to bestow fruits in form of pleasure and pain, shall have to be undergone.
Freedom of action can be obtained by performing them selflessly as a duty unto Lord and with no desire of fruit from them.
If again they are performed with attachments and desire for fruit, they are going to cause recycling with no end to it.
This self soul embodied in a particular form, on account of being conditioned to satisfy senses, again commits same mistake of identifying with body cover and its actions.
Bhagwad Geeta has no other message than to alert  strayed ‘Self Souls’ to detach from  material energy and take up home ward journey.
Action performed selflessly shall lead to self- realization
More over, an embodied soul can not attain perfection by abstaining from action. The action done with attachment does not exhaust without being undergone, even for thousands of death and birth.
Culmination of discipline of action is obtained from self less action but not by abstaining from actions one can not acquire culmination of discipline of wisdom.
    Na hi kashchitksharhamapi jatu tishathtiakaramkrit I
    Karyate   hivashah  karam  sarvah  parkritijergurhei II (3.5)
An embodiment with living entity can not remain without action for even a moment, for everyone is driven to action by its nature- born qualities.
Every verse of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta is awakening. 
Till the death of body, the embodied self  soul goes on executing actions coming as reactions of attachment and identification with modes of material nature.
The embodiment is the effect of association with qualities of nature.
Embodiment of human form is the result of mixture of three qualities.
The idea of  “I” and “mine”  is itself is the effect of mixtures of three qualities, since all intercourse through mind, sense objects, organs and pranas  is the effect of a mixture of the gunas. One identifies one self with the body, organs etc. as one’s own as to say ‘I’ am a such and such son of such and such’ or I am a soldier, I am a man or woman’, it is my father, it is my house, I shall do this and that.
Often one addresses objects as one’s own. Mind, senses, organs and pranas are outcome of one or other qualities of nature. With association of them with each other is the cause of action.
