Yogic Renunciation

In this message, Swamiji speaks about the Yogic orientation of the mind in performing all activities. By the adoption of yoga for the mind and intelligence, one must be able to feel that ‘I am not doing and nothing is attached to me nor am I attached to anything’.

When we can uniformize or make even are the imprints our mind makes about the world, then we have attained Samatva. All the attractions and repulsions that the mind is trying to produce because of objects, all of them are made equal by the mind. When this equalization or evenization or harmonization by the mind is sufficiently had, then one becomes a renunciate. Such a person will not be bound or afflicted by any activity he performs. He will live freely, happily and with contentment.

Shlokas chanted in the Track:

युक्ताहारविहारस्य युक्तचेष्टस्य कर्मसु ।
युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दुःखहा ।।
(Bhagavad Gita 6.17)

योगसन्न्यस्तकर्माणं ज्ञानसञ्छिन्नसंशयम् ।
आत्मवन्तं न कर्माणि निबध्न‍‍न्ति धनञ्जय ॥
