In this Satsang, discussing the verses of the sixth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Swamiji explains that when knowledge becomes experiential for man, he becomes contented. Being the master of his senses, he becomes invisible and unshakeable. Such a person is called an integrated person and a Yogi, who looks at a lump of clay, a stone or gold with equal vision.

What is the effect of spiritual knowledge in man and how does he live his life? He will have ups and downs, and many challenges in life, but he will never be affected and will never lose his brilliance. His vision will be expansive and universal. His every thought and awareness will reveal only Brahman to him and he will perceive the Self in the whole universe. Everything becomes Godly, divine for him.

Living and moving in the world, interacting with different types of people, the Yogi makes a provision in his heart for every kind of individual and has an equal vision towards all. Whether they are friends and well-wishers or enemies, whether they are holy people or sinful people, he excels in his interactions with them, by maintaining an equal attitude. His mind is inundated with equalness and he accepts and assimilates every reaction, response.

What is the mind? Scriptures say that when we wake up, the first factor to emerge is the mind. It emerges from the indwelling presence, the Paramatma. Then the mind starts spreading its own network by virtue of our thoughts, feelings, imaginations etc. By spreading its network, it displays itself as the infinitely various world. The enchantment of the world is the network of one’s own mind. Mind is the fulcrum of life, all activities, and interactions. The mind is the source of happiness and misery; it alone revolves the wheel called the world.

Swamiji exhorts all listeners to understand the measure and potential of the mind.
