Today I will star with Bhagavad Gita, 2nd chapter, 43rd verse –
“kamatmanah svarga-para janma-karma-phala-pradam kriya-visesa-bahulam bhogaisvarya-gatim prati |”
42nd and 43rd these two verses I have translated together. I started speaking. I completed only 42nd. Did not complete 43rd. ..
In 42nd verse Bhagavan is breaking the myth which was prevelant those days. Those days the m yth that nothing more than heaven, nothing more than the results of the actions like homa, yaga, yagna was there. I tell you even now more than 99% of you how much you believe in action, that much you don’t believe in being. Please understand life is action \+ being. What you are, your thought pattern about you, world, humanity and God all these 4 put together only I call as being. Your thought pattern about you, your thought pattern about the world, humanity society, God ….
Put together only I call you. Life is your actions \+ you. It is so unfortunate for almost always from the time immemorial how much a human being believes for all his joy, pain everything – his actions are responsible, that much human beings don’t believe he is responsible. Being. He is responsible. It is so unfortunate. Without understanding things completely, we go on suffering. Sometimes it is really frustrating poor fellows they can find solutions. But the problem is being. As long as you think in action you can find solution, you will be the believer of heaven….
Or you will do some yaga, yagna, bribe Gods and get into their loka. But as long as you believe in action the solution exists you are only half. This should be a subject for our Gurukul. Kids should learn always the good or bad you go through, the life you go through …
The thought patterns, concepts you carry about you, world, humanity and God. All these put together only I call as you. There is lot of alterations, adjustments, corrections, additions, deletion, transformation required in being. But it is so unfortunate you go on believing the ultimate solution can be achieved just by working on actions which is not true. Actions are not true. See actions are not even real because the moment the basic logic on which you build your actions if that is shaken, immd even your actions not only loses its effe3ct or side effect it loses even the very basis of existence. Sometimes it is so sad people suffer with such a simple problems but they try to find a huge solutions. Till the end it does not work. I still remember when I was staying in the banks of Kaveri, Ayya secretary he was also with us. Suddenly one local devotee he came to me and said Swamiji I have fear of water. I went to an astrologer, he said go to that…
All the Shiva temples in South Bharat divided in two way traditionally…
Means the southern bank of Kaveri and Northern bank of Kaveri…
Shiva temple. So this astrologer has told this guy go to that …
I saw his pattern and energy and felt this fellow will not be able to handle that much of shock. See that astrologer thought oh he is having fear….
And he gave this suggestion. When I checked the energy I felt this is not work for this guy…
Take bath in Kaveri, few days this fear will go away. But that fellow is not ready for …
See when I say when a person says – aiy cross the river…
Your fear will go away. This is the parihara, you believe – waw, oh great, great, great. Yes…
You don’t believe the small solutions. But you don’t understand problem itself is too small. Anyhow, I saw very clearly he was not convinced by my solution and he went on pestering me no, no, no, you come, you come that is the only parihara I have. Finally…
Corner of my heart I was feeling really bad this fool is going to be in a big mess because there was a flood …
You will not get a village boats it is called perusal…
You wont get that local small boats because of the floods, they themselves can’t roll a boad…
If there is less water, you can go by walk. There was a heavy flood. But this fool is not ready to listen. I was really feeling bad if this fellow goes all by himself…
But I wanted to give time. After 2 days again I told secretary…
To go to the temple and he is getting ready to cross the river. I immd sent the message alright wait, wait, I will also come. Let’s go together. …
In the name of lunch I delayed the trip. In 2, 3 hours fortunately may be Kaveri was little pleased and the flood receded little. That boat wala, …
Only 4-5 ….
Just one man will row and 4, 5 can sit in that. So all of us sat. the moment the guy started rowing, I saw…
The fear of water. Inside the boat I am there and at least other 2-3 fellows they are there. At least I don’t know swimming. ..
The moment he knows he is in the mercy of water. Now water can play the game. See as long as you are in the land, the water engram won’t start….
Floating on the water, the water engram takes over! And he started shivering, sweating. I told him – aiy! I told you such a simple thing. You could have come and slowly become friendly with the water. That could have been so nice. But you wanted to fight with your engram with violence. See facing engram is different, fighting engram is different…
Power and facing. Facing knowing the engram has no power is facing. You can even use the word fading the engram. But facing the engram knowing or thinking it has power is fighting…
He started fighting and he started telling – no, no, no. ..
And he could not even speak. I told him slowly you…
By the time we were in the centre of the river, that boat wala he is rowing. But naturally the flow of the water…
Along with the flow. That’s all. Now boat itself was flooded by this fellow. Not just shivering and sweating. The boat is ….
Not only one – 1, 2, 3 everything was over. Finally when we reached the temple the other sidce….
Take bath in the water and all. …
Neither he visited the temple, not only that, I saw his energy his water fear engram, water phobia has become stronger now!...
Where will we go for helicopter? Because in Tamil Nadu helicopter is not that common. He is talking literally like a mad. And he is telling no, no, build the bridge I will come. What do you mean? I am not Hanuman to build the bridge in 2-3 days…
Worst example I have seen in my life trying to remove certain engram and getting caught in that engram…
After that we moved to Bidadi and I never had a chance to meet that guy…
See if you wet this padusal it will be too smelly and dirty you cant sit also! Alright finally neither he had darshan in the temple nor he got out of the engram. I tell you many time you believe action alone can solve the engram. It cannot..
About you, world, God and humanity. Action should be like operation, surgery on being! It is so unfortunate, this fellow, finally all he did is, he just passed 1, 2, 3 in the perusal itself, in the boat itself and made the boat dirty. …
To get him back from the temple was literally hell for all of us…
Either build a bridge or bring a helicopter. Not only that…
I am an enlightened master, no doubt..
This fellow, in his crankiness. See earlier he was loose, now he has become loosu! The loose has become loosu! And in his crankiness…
I have to sit with him. We all have to wait and I literally had to pray to Kaveri – ma, please reduce the flood. Flood receded but this fellow is not ready to sit on the boat. Anyhow by evening, because no food that fellow shouting, screaming…
We just dumped him on the boat, 2-3 of us literally held him and the boat wala rowed the boat we brought him side and put him on the bank….
The speed with which he ran. Never again, at least for next 3 months he came back to the Ashram…
He has to come by a local bus, local bus which crosses the river once by bridge…
He can come without crossing the bridge also then you should have 2 wheeler….
The public transport system will come only on a small bridge crossing the river..
Look into your life. How many thousands of time you do the same mistake thinking that action can find solution. Action which are like a surgery which can bring transfor4mation on your being can bring solution….
In your being. So the working on being is necessary. Small story –
One day little Johnny, little Johnny’s grandmother sent him to the …
Two big eyes looking back to him….
As fast as he could. Where are my bucked and water? She asked. I can’t get any water from that water hole. There is a alligator down there. Now don’t you mind that alligator Johnny he has been there for years and he has never hurt anyone. He is probably as scared of you as you are of him….
then that water is not fit for drinking!”
one more story, small story –
a man went for eating ….
Grand father are these plates clean?....
That afternoon while eating the lu8nch ham burgers he noticed many little black spots ….
Without looking up from his burger the grandfather…..
Well, later that day they were on their way to get dinner. As he was leaving the house ….
Grand father your dog let me out. Please tell him to let me out without diverting attention from the TV grandfather shouter – cold water, get out of the way!
Without understanding the words, how sometime you get into trouble!
Action can bring solution only if it can transform your basic belief and your basic being. Belief about your being you carry that plays a major role in bringing any solution for your life. That is why Bhagavan says action alone cannot solve the problem, action alone cannot be the solution. Now let us move to the next verse. Let’s see what Bhagavan is expressing in Bhagavad Gita, 2nd chapter, Sankhya Yoga, 44th verse –
….
Those whose minds are diverted and who are not determined are not fit for study, meditation and Samadhi. The preserving intelligence of those who are devoted….
Understand the persevering intelligence of those…
Understand the sacred secret in this verse is if you are stuck with the idea actions can bring solution, you may reach heaven but not Samadhi ultimate enlightenment. Ultimately what we need to achieve cannot be achieved. Here Bhagavan is saying how action alone, action based theology alone cannot give solutions. It is actions which is transforming your being only can give you solution. I will expand…
One sacred secret – action alone cannot lead you to the ultimate solution. Action transforming your being, your faith idea about yourself, world, humanity and God all these 4 put together I call as being. Action…
Action alone without working on the being cannot lead you to the ultimate truth. Mediate on this truth. Sit with this one truth.
