Toda's satsang in Bhagawad gita, 2nd chapter Saankhya yoga, 49th verse.

durena hy avaram karma buddhi-yogad dhananjaya | buddhau saranam anviccha krpanah phala-hetavah ||

Translation- oh Dhananjaya beyond the yoga of wisdom is action. Wretched are those whose motive is the outcome? Surrender yourself to the wisdom.

My own new translation- Mere action is far inferior to the application of knowledge, oh Dhananjaya resort to enquiring. Pitiable indeed are those whose actions are motivated by the rewards.

Pitiable are those whose actions are motivated by the rewards. buddhau saranam anviccha, kripanah phala-hetavah. The key, sacred secret from this verse is resort to wisdom. Buddhau saranam, surrender yourself to the wisdom. Pitiable indeed are those whose actions are motivated by the rewards. Please understand, it’s like a, if a reason for your action is just fear and greed, then you are an engine running in crude oil; engine running in crude oil will not run for long. Naturally you will collapse. Only engine running in refined diesel or petrol will run for a long time. If you are running by a refined petrol you may not even be running you may be flying.

The fuel which runs your engine says a lot about the engine and the life of the engine, quality of the engine. Crude greed and fear, if that is going to be the inspiration running your engine, running your life, dangerous not only for you, all the people who are associated with you. Just like how, an enlightened being not only he does good for himself, all the people associated with him, for all the people he showers auspiciousness. He is auspiciousness. He is life, light, energy and auspiciousness for all the people who are associated with him in any way.

Same way an ignorant person, an egoistic person whose motive for action is fear or greed, for him not only he tortures himself, whoever is associated with him, for everybody he is a danger. buddhau saranam anviccha, kripanah phala-hetavah. See humanity as different groups of people living together is humanity. Human society is different kinds of groups existing. There are some groups where everybody is trying to sacrifice for others. There are some groups where kind of a morality is maintained; if you give we give, if you don’t give we don’t give. There are some groups where everybody is swindling others; everybody is trying to swallow others - in legal way. It means pharmacist companies very legally produce medicines and circulate into the society which will constantly be creating a side effect for which only their company medicine will work. It is swallowing people legally.

There is one more group, they don’t care about law, morality, order anything. Just swallow, rakshasas, demons. Anything you see c'mon grab, swallow. Different level of human beings living together is human society. When you change your attitude, way of life, when you become more sensitive to the higher level of existence, higher form of existence, you automatically enter into that kind of society and live. That is why I tell you every individual who transforms himself, automatically attracts that kind of group in his life or he will be attracted to that kind of group in his life. He will become part of that kind of group, that kind of evolution. And I tell you even if few people, handful of people evolve to the level of sacrifice, enlightened society is possible. It is possible because even if the handful of people, evolve as enlightened beings, model trend is set for the whole humanity to look, learn, live.

Here, as Bhagawan says, pitiable indeed are those whose actions are motivated by the rewards. It’s a lowest way of existing. If your actions are motivated by the fear and greed that’s a lowest form of existing but unfortunately because you know only that in the initial level, you never evolved yourself to the next level, you always live in hell, literally hell. In nowhere in Bhagawad Gita, Bhagwan says pitiable indeed. He is not using this strong word, kripanah phala-hetavah. There is one more translation for this word. Wretched are those whose motive is the outcome. Nowhere Bhagawan is using such a strong word; here he is using. I think he is sick and tired of this mental set up; constantly which runs only based on fear and greed.

The society where sacrifice….. means when I say sacrifice please understand I don’t mean sacrificing your property, bed, luxury, lifestyle, no; sacrificing your constantly changing identity. Not letting the laziness and parasite engrams on you. There are some engram patterns which are parasites. They will just suck your whole energy and destroy you. The parasite grows on a tree and how it sucks all the energy and kills the original tree. Same way parasitical engrams are there which just sucks your life.

I can give you some examples, oh I know what is right but I am not able to do. It is parasitical engram. There is no pardon for the people who say I know what is right, I am not able to do. Nobody can pardon you because you can’t pardon you. You will put yourself in hell constantly. That is the worst disrespect you will do for you and for others. What kind of a person you are, that kind of a person… persons only you attract in your life, that kind of talks only are very comfortable for you.
