    Ego and Possessiveness – How to Get Rid of Them

    Only when you ensure that throughout the day, whatever actions or reactions you have, there is a progressive enrichment and purification taking place in you, can you be considered a sādhaka.

    Handling difficult interactions

    Why does interaction become difficult at times? It is because of raga-dvesha (likes and dislikes). We like some people and are happy to be with them. Some we don’t like, so we do not want to interact with them.

    Science and Spirituality

    In spirituality the ‘I’ in us, the inmost Truth of our being, is finally discovered as God. So, spiritual sadhana starts when we stop looking outside and start looking within to find out “Who am I”.

    Success due to God or myself

    When there is a close harmony between the knowing intelligence and the willful mind, equally between the external body and senses, good and effective actions proceed and they bring about the desired outcome. Otherwise not. Whether you believe in God or not, does not matter. What is required is a conscientious striving.

    Ambition for Material Success

    Moderation is the watchword for every one of you. Krishna says the Yoga of Bhagavad Gita will become relevant and effective, provided we are moderate. Eat moderately, sleep moderately, exert moderately, listen to moderately and speak moderately.

    Theory of rebirth?

    Birth and rebirth are tentative propositions, one visible and the other invisible, to help man think about continuity of existence. When his sense of enquiry grows and deepens, this continuity will be probed, dissected as it were, to take him to the nonobject, the Subject entity,

    Watching your thoughts

    "Watching the thoughts" means witnessing them come and go without getting involved in them. Normally we are always getting involved in the current thought. When depressing or happy thoughts arise, we "become depressed or happy". Witnessing means we have to see the happy thoughts, depressing thoughts, without becoming happy or depressed.

    Influence of Gunas–Are we helpless?

    Everything is the effect of guṇas. Work, cessation, dream, sleep, wakefulness — all. But within these, the guṇas alone make you think, enquire, seek etc. See all as guṇas and flow with them. Do when you feel like doing. Stop and leave when you feel so. Be natural.

    Bhagavad Gita for Personality Transformation

    Right from birth, we are slave to our attraction and repulsion towards worldly objects and situations. Our mind constantly undergoes elation, depression, and agitation, depending on whether the objective situation we face is to our liking or disliking. We are fearful of losing what we like and facing what we dislike. Bhagavadgeeta wants us to transform this slavery into mastery by cultivating the “Yoga” attitude.
