Hari Om

Verse 50-51, chapter two: 

In this chapter two Shree krishna explains a simple way of living.

Free from desires and void of possessions, go on efficiently doing your duties with evenness of mind

in their success or failure. Strive for the practice of this yoga of equanimity, possessing equipoised

mind you will attain the blissful supreme state. 

Hari Om Tat Sat!

Verse 38-53 chapter two simplified:

Practice yoga of mind as you perform your daily duties. 

Yoga of mind is being even-minded in both success (completion) and failure in what ever task you do. 

Try your best to do it in the best possible way, but if you don't succeed in it then don't get upset or unhappy.

 

Don't get too much happy by success nor get too sad by failures. Soon you will reach a state of mind

where success and failure won't affect you much.

Thus by being steady and undistracted by worldly affairs, you will attain Yoga - Everlasting Union with God!

Today I am going to explain verse 31 - 38 chapter two for you all.

There is no opportunity better than a righteous war (सत्य और न्याय की लड़ाई ). So, always fight for the truth in your life. 

There are only two possible out comes of this war. Either you win or you lose. If you win, then what to say, 

you will rule the world but in case even if you lose(die), you will attain heaven after death.

So its a win-win situation. Never miss such opportunity to fight for what is right in your day to day life. Come 

forward and fight. As there are only two possible out comes, and you win in either case.

चुप ना रहो, हमेशा सत्य और न्याय के लिए लड़ो , फिर वो किसी के लिए भी क्यों ना हो।  अन्याय और जुर्म का साथ मत दो ना ही  उसे सहो |

 Dear friends, I write the explanation of two verses of Geets for all of you, I hope you all will like it and benefit from it.  

In Shreemad Bhagwat Geeta , the song celestial, one full chapter (chapter 16) has been devoted towards explaining the differences between the two tendencies within an individual, the good and evil, the divine and demoniac. 

Verse 3 indicates divine virtues: Splendor, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, absence of malice, absence of pride, these all are the qualities of those endowed with divine virtues.

Verse 4 indicates demoniac virtues: Hypocracy, arrogance, pride, anger, harshness, and ignorance are the marks of the one who is born of demonical properties. 

Even one of these divine virtues, say for example 'purity', attained by an individual will impart in him the remaining virtues rather automatically and make him a blissful person. 

On the other hand any of the demonical properties like 'anger' will bring him miseries in plenty and will lead to his utter downfall.

Needless to say you should adopt to more and more of divine virtues in your day to day life to attain bliss.

Good morning friends, today I write the explain of verse 12 of chapter 12 "The yoga of Devotion" to you all,

as given in Geeta - The Song Celestial.

 

The meaning of the verse is : 

"Better indeed is knowledge than practice, better than knowledge is

meditation, better than meditation is the renunciation of fruits of action, peace immediately follows

renunciation".

This verse teaches us the way to obtain peace while carrying out our duties and other activities.

The first step is that I should know the purpose behind my action. This is knowledge and this knowledge

is better than just practicing an action without knowing the purpose. 

The second step is that it is even better that in all my actions my mind should be totally concentrated on my actions.

Such action become perfect and perfection in action is meditation.

The third and supreme step is that I must not expect any fruits or benefits from my actions. This is renunciation

and it is this supreme attitude that gives me peace. I just carry out my duties to the best of my ability and 

offer the fruits of my action whether success or failure at the lotus feet of the Lord. This will give me peace

and happiness. 

This is Karma Yoga, you must perform selfless action with devotion to reach the Supreme.

निःस्वार्थ कर्म ही एक मात्रा सच्चे एवं स्थायी  सूख की कुंजी है |
