You are a victim of your lizard brain?

A beautiful article i read other day, which highlights our resistance to action in other way here it is..

You are a victim of your lizard brain?

Did you even know that you had a lizard brain? Sounds scary? Who wants a lizard inside their brain? The lizard brain is that part of our brain which creates all stimuli such as anger, fear, laughter, nervousness, passion and desire. These are the reptile or primary instincts.
So, when you see a snake, the lizard brain immediately signals fear.

Seth Godin, a marketing genius, in one of his blog posts, calls it the “resistance”, the reason for not doing, delaying, fear and compromising. So, if ever you have felt divided between options or making a decision or doing work that meant something to you, you were the victim of your lizard brain.

We are usually over consumed by this lizard brain or resistance, having huge impact on us and our work. Typically, how lizard brain works and the consequences it could have:

Lizard Brain reaction	Consequence
you see or hear an unhappy People around you and thinking how to get rid of them	not creating good reputation with people
would this idea really work?	not pushing your product or service idea
starting up on my own is very risky. what if i don’t succeed?	not taking bold decisions
as soon as you get up you have a million butterflies in your stomach and a storm on your face	not making great presentations
i cannot do it!	running away from challenges, losing on opportunities
this is way too big for me.	last moment abandonment of your project or idea
i don’t think i am ready	delay in getting back or responding

Lizard brain can engulf you in fear, freeze you and keep making you feel inadequate but not allow you to doing anything about it. It has the power to shut you up.
The good part is that lizard brain only gives a signal. You have the choice to accept or not and decide your own action.
Be aware that you can control it and ignore it, and not just be a victim. As soon as you start noticing this, you will feel how powerful you really are over the lizard.
Have you ever felt taken up by your lizard brain? What did you do?

Better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. Better to be even-tempered than to capture a city.

It is said that - "The leader of family should be a self contended man" for better is a little righteousness than great revenues without Right"....

By putting aside the values if a man becomes ungodly (material) or without soul and digs up EVIL and in his lips there is burning fire. i mean to say that there is integrated family could only be possible when the family members are in habit to run their family by creating a good and healthy environment there in.

TIPS to create Healthy family environment -
1) The fear of God:- LORD should be treated head of the family, every one should be submissive to lord.

2) Uninvited guest( athithi) is welcome at every dinner.

3) Due respect to all- without discrimination, on caste, sex ,creed ,nation or their positon in the society.

4) Developing Tolerance power.

5) Love and affection for each member of the family to avoid maladjustment.

6) Total absence of jealous and suspicion.

7)There must be The Purity of body, the speech and the mind.

8)To be in full co-operation for every progressive thought of the family.

9)To earn daily livelihood according to the ability.

10) Helping all who are trying to be progressive and goodness and do good..........Source Mentor's book

To have a good integrated family every one should be following the about points, and apply to make part of the one's life, and become wise son, who would be a glad father or mother.

 "He that Ruleth his Spirit is Better than He that Taketh a City" (Prov. xvi. 32).
matlab  -Temperance is true self-government. It involves the grace of self-denial (individual ego) and the spirit of a sound mind. It is that poise of spirit that holds us quiet, self-possessed, recollected, deliberate, and subject ever to the voice of God(heart or parm-atma) and the conviction of duty in every step we take.He that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city - It is much easier to subdue an enemy without than one within. There have been many kings who had conquered nations, and yet were slaves to their own passions.
 Many persons have not that poise and recollected spirit. They are drifting at the impulse of their own impressions, moods, the influence of others, or the circumstances around them.( No desire should ever control us. No purpose, however right, should have such mastery over us that we are not perfectly free. The pure affection may be an inordinate affection. Our work itself may be a selfish passion. That thing that we began to do because it was God's will, we may cling to and persist in ultimately, because it is our own will. Lord, give us the spirit ever controlled by Thy Spirit and will, and the eye that looks to Thee every moment as the eyes of a servant to the hands of her mistress. So shall Thy service be our perfect freedom, and our subjection divinest liberty.

santushta bharya bharta bharta thatiiva cha
yeshman naiv kulam nityam kalyanam tatra vaidhuvam.(manu smriti)

stri purush ek mat hoi,
jug jug rajya kare sab koi...

The wife and the husband should be of one mind and of one spirit and also of one body, they might have individual identity, they should not fraud each other, excpet it be with consent for a time that he - she may give time to fasting and prayers and come together again so that evil may not tempt them. One should not be tempted and should indulge in adulteration, in the strange woman, it is said that For the lips of strange woman drop as  an honey comb and her mouth is smoother than oil, but in the end it is bitter as warm wood or sharp as two edge sword. So one should remove ones way from her and come not nigh the door of her house.

He should always drink water out of his own cistern and running water out of his own well, and always rejoice with his wife of youth. if anybody does not follow this principal, his wife would become wicked and will destroy and make unhealthy atmosphere in the family which results is Ruined family atmosphere.

Create a good atmosphere by not letting the wife departing from his union.This will make her wise and every wise woman buildeth her house, but a foolish woman plucketh it down with her own hands. This is equally true for a husband and a wife and it should be understood as the spouse.

 The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride..............Ecclesiastes 7:8

When we reach the end of our hoarded resources 
Our Father's full giving is only begun. 
His love has no limit, His grace has no measure, 
His power no boundary known unto men; 
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus (lord)
He giveth and giveth and giveth again.

It isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heartache
At the setting of the sun;
The tender word unspoken,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts at night.

The stone you might have lifted
Out of your brother's way,
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone,
That you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough of your own.

These little acts of kindness,
So easily out of mind,
These chances to be angels,
Which even mortals find
They come in night and silence,
Each chill reproachful wraith,
When hope is faint and flagging,
And a blight has dropped on faith.

For life is all too short, dear.
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heartache,
At the setting of the sun.

Comfort in the Depths by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

"Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee. . .who passing through the valley of weeping, make it a well" (Ps. 84:5, 6). 

Comfort does not come to the light-hearted and merry. We must go down into "depths" if we would experience this most precious of God's gifts--comfort, and thus be prepared to be co-workers together with Him. 

When night--needful night--gathers over the garden of our souls, when the leaves close up, and the flowers no longer hold any sunlight within their folded petals, there shall never be wanting, even in the thickest darkness, drops of heavenly dew--dew which falls only when the sun has gone. 

"I have been through the valley of weeping, The valley of sorrow and pain; 
But the 'God of all comfort' was with me, At hand to uphold and sustain. 

"As the earth needs the clouds and sunshine, Our souls need both sorrow and joy; 
So He places us often in the furnace, The dross from the gold to destroy. 

"When he leads throw' some valley of trouble His omnipotent hand we trace; 
For the trials and sorrows He sends us, Are part of His lessons in grace. 

"Often we shrink from the purging and pruning, Forgetting the Husbandman knows 
That the deeper the cutting and paring, The richer the cluster that grows. 

"Well He knows that affliction is needed; He has a wise purpose in view, 
And in the dark valley He whispers, 'Hereafter Thou'lt know what I do.' 

"As we travel throw' life's shadow'd valley, Fresh springs of His love ever rise; 
And we learn that our sorrows and losses, Are blessings just sent in disguise. 

"So we'll follow wherever He leadeth, Let the path be dreary or bright; 
For we've proved that our God can give comfort; Our God can give songs in the night."


Give what you have; to someone it may be better than you dare to think.----------- --Longfellow

Story about worship of the Lord

Here is a beautiful story which says about the method of worship of the lord.

Once there was a brahmin practitioner,he was handsome and good looking.

He lived near a river. After his fathers death, he got spoiled and got deviated from his path. In couple of months he got in to all vices and finally he was lead to a woman, named Chintamani. She lived on the other side of the river. She was very beautiful and a nice singer. All the day he lived with her.

Ater a year when his dad's death anniversary came, he had to do all the rituals and couldnot visit that woman. Though he was doing the rituals his mind was with her, thinking of her beauty. He was living virtually with her. After the rituals, at night he couldn't resist himself and walked towards the river to visit her, inspite of people trying to stop him. It was raining heavily. He got hold of something that appeared like a log of wood to him, but had some kind of cloth around the log. With the help of the log he reached the other side and came to her home. There were no lamps, yet he didn't want to go back. He saw some kind of soft rope hanging and with that help he jumped inside and called her out. On seeing him, the woman shocked, lit the lamps and saw a snake coiled up. That snake was the one he thought as a soft rope and the log of wood in the river was a body of a woman. With the curiosity inside, he couldn't smell the foul smell of the body nor the snake, he was totally blinded. she scolded him saying, had he done the same for God, he would have appeared for him. The body which he was attracted would perish soon and wont be there forever. Her wisdom words struck him and all his mind blocks opened up.

He left everything and he became a sadhu. He went to ashram and learned things but he made Chintamani his guru, who opened his mind and showed the reality and started to worship her inside the heart.  But as the impure thoughts teased him again he found another girl, who was the wife of somebody. On observing this behavior of his, he got badly hurt of his own habit to getting attracted to beauty.He pierced the eyes with thorns in front of that lady and went in search of God, street to street. He used to sing songs of krishna.

Finally the lord Krishna took him to brindavan. Through his devotion he won the heart of lord.

The story is may be a  symbolic. but We should take our eyes off from the external things fully and shift the focus within. He worked on his problem, deliberately pushing himself away from the external beauty. Chinta is worry, but he was so attracted to her that he couldn't see anything at all .

What we understand from this story is that if we worship God, UNINTERRUPTED( ANNANYA), continously, he would certainly come infront of us.we can find him. Uninterrupted  perpetual true devotion, love towards the lord, aspiration towards him, would certainly help us to realize him.

Special posting on Srimadbhagvad gita- 25

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत ।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥४-७॥

परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् ।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥४-८॥


Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligious--at that time I descend Myself.
In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I advent Myself millennium after millennium.4:7



कर्मण्ये वाधिकारस्ते म फलेषु कदाचना
कर्मफलेह्तुर भुरमा ते संगोस्त्वकर्मानी॥ ................च २, ४७


You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.............2:47

These two verses you might be seen lot of places in India  people quoting  misquoting  promoting etc whatever, my sole intention to bring the important verses of srimad bhagvad gita to generate curiosity in their own self and see beyond these two above verses.
Bhagvad gita is very much relevant in modern society in fact whatever be the society till the humans survive it is useful, but it should be read in a way that we can apply the principle in our daily life, not just sake of ritual or dogmas, in fact it is letter to all civilization by lord Krishna to give him answer, and if we don't reply by our actions how can he know what we have done. Gita is certainly much more than about two verses.
The entire Gita is important part of life, it should be read and practiced with proper understanding developed with competent teacher.My little effort is to bring curiosity to every one to read and apply.

special verse:

यं यं वापि स्मरन्भावं त्यजत्यन्ते कलेवरम्। तं तमेवैति कौन्तेय सदा तद्भावभावितः॥८- ६॥

प्राणी जो भी स्मरन करते हुऐ अपनी देह त्यागता है, वह उसी को प्राप्त करता है हे कौन्तेय, सदा उन्हीं भावों में रहने के कारण।..................................8:6


Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail..............................8:6

Kumara Vaisnava Sampradaya: Kesava Kasmiri's Commentary

Not only by thinking of Lord Krishna alone does one attain His eternal nature; but whatever one thinks at the moment of death one becomes without fail. This is being stated with the words (yam yam) meaning whatever. Whatever one is thinking at the last moment of death will transport one to become the very object or conception one contemplated while dying. The reason Lord Krishna also gives with the words sada tad-bhava- bhavitah meaning due to being completely absorbed in such contemplation the powerful prominence of the final thought and image infuses itself upon the consciousness determining their next birth.

Finally , whatever state he is being when he leave this body at point of death that state of mind only he would continue to be in, this verse can be read in other way too what ever state of mind he is composed today is the result of the past life's conclusive state of mind..!!!, so it means that this cycle would repeat again if we are unable to detach yourself from the state of mind at the time of death, which is certain expect the timing. as we don't know the timing is it not that what ever state of mind i have today can be carry forwarded. hence when i discovered this reality, does it not mean that i should possess such a state of mind where i should not be attached to karma yet i do the action part. does it not mean that i should do this all times, morning, day, mid-day evening and night...should i not be aware of the lord all the times...as i dont know when the death will become reality.

When this is so much true than why we set a time for doing puja in the morning or lighting a lamp in the evening , as if its a duty rest of the time we are very much dipped our-self in the world.

So here what i conclude is we must practice aware full living always..all times..that is mindful living. stated by Gautama Buddha. Lord should be all times part of life, not just we go to certain place where we call we are doing prayer or puja/aarti and allow God to sit there and we do our work as our mind says(God cant be just at one place one should follow him omnipresent) .The moment we begin to understand that we are not only the body we are a soul (individual soul or consciousness), we begin to understand the mind and its mechanism, and by the grace of sat guru the individual ego vanishes , and the we meet the ultimate consciousness the lord.

How come we keep our mindset on lord at final stages when we never met him while living? how can we meet him after death when we could never know him while living which is been allotted us to with mechanism to upgrade ourselves and we just wasted it with entertainment?!!! so being in lord is not affair of Thursday or Sunday...its every day every moment..all times..

Until we meet our lord...the conflict continues..we continue to seek new new things, we continue to be unstable and unhappy even after most of our desires (material) been fulfilled in our life. we remain still unhappy. Every one shiould strive to make a better tommorow than today. It would only possible if our Today is better than yestarday, we can wake up with better tommorow ,so its now to wake up and take charge to a turn around cling to make ourselves better. The gist of Gita to my understanding is "nishkam karma" can also be said as Total work without regret.

 I concluded these postings on Srimad Bhagvad gita, the mistakes which  i might have done  while writing or explaining, pardon me for that am still a learner and sailing in the same boat as you are in, while writing this, my intent is to bring curiosity to know the reality of life, and stop ourselves becoming slaves of mob mentality. stop seeing others for progress, see yourself. Life is not a race; its just a correction of our being, which we did in past stored as experiences, which lead to  our perception and finally become our choice.

some well known personalities what they said about  Srimad Bhagvad-gita

When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous.

Sri Aurobindo
The Bhagavad-Gita is a true scripture of the human race a living creation rather than a book, with a new message for every age and a new meaning for every civilization.

Carl Jung
The idea that man is like unto an inverted tree seems to have been current in by gone ages. The link with Vedic conceptions is provided by Plato in his Timaeus in which it states..." behold we are not an earthly but a heavenly plant." This correlation can be discerned by what Krishna expresses in chapter 15 of  Bhagavad-Gita.

Swami Vivekananda
The secret of karma yoga which is to perform actions without any fruitive desires is taught  by Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad-Gita.


 Sri Paramahamsa Yogananda
The Bhagavad-Gita is where God Himself talks to His devotee Arjuna.

The Bhagavad-Gita  is an empire of thought and in its philosophical teachings Krishna has all the attributes of the full-fledged montheistic deity and at the same time  the attributes of the Upanisadic absolute. 



Dr. Albert Schweizer
The Bhagavad-Gita has a profound influence on the spirit of mankind by its devotion to God which is manifested by actions.



Aldous Huxley
The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of humanity.

Sri Ramanujacharya
The Bhagavad-Gita  was spoken by Lord Krishna to reveal the science of devotion to God which is the essence of all spiritual knowledge. The Supreme Lord Krishnas primary purpose for descending and incarnating is relieve the world of any demoniac and negative, undesirable influences that are opposed to spiritual developement, yet simultaneously it is His  incomparable intention to be perpetually within reach of all humanity.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
Advise everyone to follow the instructions of  Srimad Bhagavad-Gita as spoken by  Lord Krishna. In this way authorised by Me become a spiritual master and redeem this world.

Important verse of Srimad Bhagvadgita-24

The Three Modes Of Material Nature.

Material nature consists of the three modes--goodness, passion and ignorance. When the living entity comes in contact with nature, he becomes conditioned by these modes.....14:5



o mighty armed one, the qualities of goodness, passion and ignorance thus produced by the material energy enslaves (वशीभूत करना) the immutable ( अपरिवर्तनशील), consciousness of the self within the body...14: 5

हे अर्जुन! सतोगुण,रजोगुण,और तमोगुण -ये प्रकृति से उत्पन्न तीनो गुण अविनाशी जीवात्माको शरीर में बंधते है।

Wonderful commetary given by Sri kesava kashmiri vaishnava sampradaya..states like this..




Lord Krishna refutes the impersonalistic sankhya philosophy which negates the existence of the Supreme Lord by propounding the combination and essential dependence of the ksetra or field of activity with the ksetra-jna or the knower of the field of activity. He delineates( वर्णन करना) all aspects such as what the qualities are. How they can be recognized. How they keep the jivas or embodied beings in bondage and how this is established and enforced by contact and attraction to sense objects and material nature. He states that the three gunas or qualities of sattva, rajas and tamas or goodness, passion and ignorance respectively are not the actual forms of objects seen, heard, tasted, smelled or touched but are the status of the inherent attributes contained as. Thus prakriti or the material substratum pervading physical existence is defined as the resting place where the three gunas are equipoise and arise from. This same prakriti when agitated by the Supreme Lord's onslaught of time transforms into mahat or cosmic intelligence and firmly becomes bonded with the dualities such as pleasure and pain, happiness and distress, etc. But then one may question why it is stated in chapter 2, verse 30 that the atma or immortal soul can never be destroyed. Anticipating such a query Lord Krishna states the words dehinam avyayam meaning the immutable spirit soul denoting that although the atma resides in the physical body it is immutable and never changes it quality of eternality. So the gunas cause the atma to be imprisoned by the physical body due to its attachment to the body and its attraction to the senses and its desire for sense objects. The Visnu Purana states: The Supreme Lord enters by His own will with equipoise into mutable matter and immutable spirit, activating both at the time of creation. O sage He is both the activator and the activated. By way of contraction and expansion He abides equipoise within prakriti as the ksetrajna from whence the three gunas arise which control the ksetra. This irrevocably manifests at the commencement of creation. So in conclusion the three gunas are the modified essence of prakriti which is generated by the mahat unto all material beings and planets such as Earth and others.

NOTE: All 3 gunas also comes under bondage. one should go beyond that.

Important Verse of Srimad Bhagvad gita -23

Nature, the Enjoy-er, and Consciousness
or individual and ultimate consciousness.

The five great elements, false ego, intelligence, the unmanifested, the ten senses, the mind, the five sense objects, desire, hatred, happiness, distress, the aggregate, the life symptoms, and convictions--all these are considered, in summary, to be the field of activities and its interactions......Chapter 13, Verse 6-7. 



Humility, pridelessness, nonviolence, tolerance, simplicity, approaching a bona fide spiritual master, cleanliness, steadiness and self-control; renunciation of the objects of sense gratification, absence of false ego, the perception of the evil of birth, death, old age and disease; nonattachment to children, wife, home and the rest, and even-mindedness amid pleasant and unpleasant events; constant and unalloyed devotion to Me, resorting to solitary places, detachment from the general mass of people; accepting the importance of self-realization, and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth--all these I thus declare to be knowledge, and what is contrary to these is ignorance.....Chapter 13, Verse 8-12. 




I shall now explain the knowable, knowing which you will taste the eternal. This is beginningless, and it is subordinate to Me. It is called Brahman, the spirit, and it lies beyond the cause and effect of this material world.........chapter 13, Verse 13. 



Everywhere are His hands and legs, His eyes and faces, and He hears everything. In this way the Supersoul exists....Chapter 13, Verse 14. 


The Supersoul is the original source of all senses, yet He is without senses. He is unattached, although He is the maintainer of all living beings. He transcends the modes of nature, and at the same time He is the master of all modes of material nature.......Chapter 13, Verse 15. .


The Supreme Truth exists both internally and externally, in the moving and nonmoving. He is beyond the power of the material senses to see or to know. Although far, far away, He is also near to all...........Chapter 13, Verse 16. 

Chapter 13, Verse 17. 
Although the Supersoul appears to be divided, He is never divided. He is situated as one. Although He is the maintainer of every living entity, it is to be understood that He devours and develops all.


Chapter 13, Verse 24. 
One who understands this philosophy concerning material nature, the living entity and the interaction of the modes of nature is sure to attain liberation. He will not take birth here again, regardless of his present position.



O chief of the Bharatas, whatever you see in existence, both moving and unmoving, is only the combination of the field of activities and the knower of the field......Chapter 13, Verse 27.



One who sees the Supersoul in every living being and equal everywhere does not degrade himself by his mind. Thus he approaches the transcendental destination...
Chapter 13, Verse 29.

क्योंकि सम्पूर्ण यज्ञों का भोक्ता और स्वामी " मै " ही हूँ ; परन्तु वे मुझ परमेश्वर को तत्त्व से नहीं जानते ,इसीसे गिरते है अर्थात पुनर्जन्म को प्राप्त होते है।Chapter 9, Verse 24.

Important verse of Srimad Bhagvadgita -20

Chapter 8, Verse 4. 

Perishable objects are of the phenomenal existence; the omnipresent transcendental personality is the underlying foundation of all the demigods and I within the body certainly am the Lord of all sacrificies, O best of beings..

उत्पत्ती  -विनाश  धर्म  वाले  सब  पदार्थ   अधिभूत  है  , हिरन्य  पुरुष  अधिदैव  है  औ र हे  देहधारियो में  श्रेष्ट  अर्जुन!  इस  शरीरमे   वासुदेव   ही  अंतर्यामी   रूप  से   अधियज्ञ   हूँ ।



Chapter 8, Verse 27. 
O Arjuna, coming to know about these two paths, anyone perfecting the science of uniting the individual consciousness with the Supreme Consciousness is never deluded; therefore O Arjuna always be engaged in the science of uniting the individual consciousness with the Ultimate Consciousness.


हे पार्थ ! इस प्रकार इन दोनों मार्गोंको तत्त्व से जान कर कोई भी योगी मोहित नहीं होता ।
इस कारण हे अर्जुन! तू सब काल में सम बुद्धिरूप योग से युक्त हो अर्थात निरंतर मेरी प्राप्ति के लिए साधन करनेवाला हो ।


Chapter 8, Verse 28. 

whatever the meritorious rewards indicated in the Vedic scriptures by ritualistic sacrifices, rigours asceticism or by philanthropic charity;one perfected in the science of uniting the individual consciousness with the Supreme consciousness transcends them all and achieves the Supreme, primordial abode.

योगी पुरुष इस रहस्य को तत्वसे जानकार वेदों को पढ़नेमे तथा यज्ञ , तप और दानादि करने में जो पुण्य -फल  है , उस सबको  निसंदेह उलंघन कर जाता है और सनातन परमपद को प्राप्त होता है।

Important verse of Srimad Bhagvadgita -19

The Supreme Lord said, The indestructible, transcendental living entity is called Brahman, and his eternal nature is called the self. Action pertaining to the development of these material bodies is called karma, or fruitive activities.....8:3

In answer to these questions the Supreme Lord Krishna replies in three verses. He answers three of the questions with the words a-ksaram paramam meaning the supreme indestructible reality which is imperishable and never is destroyed and is the essence in totality of all atmas or souls of all embodied beings.  So here akarsam refers to the individual atma and when matter merges with it then it becomes embodied and is referred to as adhyatma which is a combination of matter, senses, intelligence and subtle elements surrounding enveloping the atma. Both the atma and matter should be well comprehended by those aspirants for moksa or liberation from material existence in order to know what in life should be accepted and what in life should be rejected. Also one should be clear as to the discharge of one's daily duties and yagna or worship in propitiation and whether such propitiation should be offered to demigods or exclusively to the Supreme Lord. All actions of various types offered to anything other than the Supreme Lord have a reaction attached to them and are known as karma or reactions to actions and by these actions all types of movable and immovable beings are coming into existence. said by  kesava kasmiri

(The Brhadaranyaka Upanisad IV.V.XIV states that the atma is eternal and verily indestructible. The jiva or embodied being is in a perpetual state of bondage and is explained in the Subala Upanisad as such: The unmanifest descends into the embodied soul and the embodied soul sinks into the darkness of nescience. But in this verse the word paramam meaning supreme qualifies the term aksaram and so its imperishable nature refers to the atma not associated with or disconnected from primordial matter and as such the only perception manifesting is realisation of the atma and one becomes omniscient. Although in scriptural passages such as Brhadaranyaka Upanisad IV.IV.XXII stating O`Garga the brahman or spirirtual substratum pervading all existence is verily indestructible. In this case it refers to the ultimate reality; but not here because Lord Krishna Himself will speak later in chapter 15, verse 16 and 17of this indestructible as being different from the two types of created beings those who are perishable and those who are imperishable as He is exalted and being distinctly different from both is designated as the Supreme Being and Supreme Personality.)

Important verse of Srimad bhagvad gita -18

I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My eternal creative potency [yoga-maya]; and so the deluded world knows Me not, who am unborn and infallible....7:25





Now Lord Krishna explains the cause of their ignorance about Himself. It is because He only manifests Himself in and through the consciousness of His devotees exclusively and not to others

Why are not all beings able to acquire knowledge about the Supreme Lord ?  The Supreme Lord Krishna whose potencies are beyond the realm of the mind and the senses and who is the sole objective of meditation by the enlightened yogis. For others He is imperceptibly veiled by His mysterious and intrepid, internal energy known as yogamaya. Yoga means uniting with, maya is illusory impressions superimposed upon the consciousness, by this combination a mysterious power arises which is transcendant to material nature and has the potency at any time to make the impossible, possible or the possible, impossible or even have them both manifesting simultaneously. The ignorant are covered by this maya and hence unaware of Lord Krishna's supreme position. Thus being oblivious to His powers, glories, qualities and attributes the ignorant are unable to have communion with Him and receive His grace.
Why are not all beings able to acquire knowledge about Him?
Lord Krishna speaks naham prakasah sarvasya meaning He is not revealed to everyone. He is samavrtah or concealed. He allows the ignorant who are bereft of faith be oblivious of His divine glory and His purely spiritual form which is endowed with qualities and attributes that are completely transcendental to prakriti or the material substatum pervading all worldly objects in the physical existence. His supernatural powers and lilas or phenomenal pastimes are not known, heard or witnessed by all. Only those who are exclusively devoted to Lord  are aware of His power and majesty. As the Supreme Lord Himself spoke to Narada Muni that: One by one, then two by two, then in a group of three, great sages desired to see the form of the Supreme Lord ; but they were unable to, nor will they ever be able too until they have developed exclusive devotion for Him. Only by bhakti or exclusive loving devotion can the Supreme Lord  be known. Hence the ignorant, all who are not Lord 's fail to recognise Him as the Supreme Being. For He is not born as an embodied soul forced to accept a physical body like all embodied beings by the dictates of karma or reactions from previous actions. Lord  manifests Himself  by His own sweet will to perform His divine lilas or phenomenal pastimes for sport; but the people of the world merely view Him as another human being only blest to have amazing and extraordinary qualities and characteristics.


vedaham samatitani 
vartamanani carjuna 
bhavisyani ca bhutani 
mam tu veda na kascana.......7:26


O Arjuna, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, (I) know everything that has happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are yet to come. I also know all living entities; but Me no one knows...7:26

Lord Krishna emphasises by the words mam tu veda na kascam which means that no one is able to know Him and because He is the controller of all, anywhere that He is not veiled is only by His express directive for His veiling is not for His devotees but for those who are in the clutches of maya or illusory impressions superimposed upon the mind, so that they will not be able to know Him. This He is indicating by the word vedaham meaning He knows. That He knows by His divine potency and unveiled knowledge. Although His external energy known as maya veils the mind in varying degrees of all created beings; it should clearly understood that that all living beings movable or immovable, belonging to the past, existing in the present or manifesting in the future are under His complete control and this is an example of how He is omniscient. 


NOte:  His veiling is not for His devotees but for those who are in the clutches of maya or illusory impressions superimposed upon the mind, so that they will not be able to know Him.

or it can be said परन्तु मुझको कोई भी 1) अनन्य  भक्ति  2) श्रद्धा  से जाना जासकता है . 
Hence be in bhakthi by bhajan and keep faith and walk on the path to know higher consciousness from the present level of lower consciusouness by various methods of yoga, either by karma yoga ( by doing action), ananya bhakti yoga(  getting united through form of perpetual bhakthi), gyana yoga( through the knowledge of reality) yoga means uniting .

Important verse of Srimad Bhagvadgita -17

The Blessed Lord said: O mighty-armed son of Kunti, it is undoubtedly very difficult to curb the restless mind, but it is possible by constant practice and by detachment.........6:35

Then Lord Krishna responding to Arjuna's queries concurs that without a doubt the mind is extremely difficult to control and similar to confining a cyclone in a pot; but Arjuna should shake off his trepidation and make the effort, for the mind can be brought under control by the repeated practice of meditation. One should first withdraw the mind from the influence of sense objects and then focus the mind in concentration internally on the atma or soul. By practising indifference towards sense objects, dispassion will arise in the senses and the mind will show no interest and will not gravitate to anything else other than the atma. This is accomplished by reflecting on the transient nature of anything other than the atma and contemplating on the inherent defects in such transient objectives. The vocative words maha-bahu meaning mighty armed one indicates in a general sense that only a superior person trained in such practice will meet with success whereas a normal person will not be able to. In the specific sense maha-bahu means one whose arms are mighty enough to control an enemy should be mighty enough to control the enemy knows as the turbulent mind. The particle tu meaning but denotes there should be no lethargy in effort.

The difficulty of controlling the obstinate mind,  is accepted by the Personality of Godhead. But at the same time He suggests that by practice and detachment it is possible. What is that practice? In the present age no one can observe strict rules and regulations, such as placing oneself in a sacred place, focusing the mind on the Supersoul, restraining the senses and mind, observing celibacy, remaining alone, etc. By the practice of  consciousness, however, one engages in nine types of devotional service to the Lord, Refer (नवधा भक्ति )
 Devotional engagements is hearing about LORD, like doing kirtan or bhajan This is a very powerful  method for purging the mind of all misgivings. The more one hears about Lord, the more one becomes enlightened and detached from everything that draws the mind away from Lord. By detaching the mind from activities not devoted to the Lord, one can very easily learn vairagya. Vairagya means detachment from matter and engagement of the mind in spirit.  

Important Verse of Srimad Bhagvad gita -16

For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his very mind will be the greatest enemy.....6:6


अपने  द्वारा  अपना  संसार -समुद्र  से  उद्धार  कर  और  अपनेको  अधोगातिमे  न  डाले ,   क्यों की यह  मनुष्य  आप  ही  तो  अपना  मित्र  है  और  आप  ही  अपना  शत्रु है।।...6:5
जिस  जीवा त्मा द्वारा  मन  और  इन्द्रियों  सहित  जीता  हुआ  है , उस जीवात्मा तो वह आप ही मित्र है और  जिसके  द्वारा  मन  तथा  इन्द्रियों  सहित  शरीर  नहीं  जीता  गया  हो  उसके  लिए  वह  आप ही  शत्रु  के  सद्र्श  शत्रुता  में  बरता है।.........6:6

It should be clearly comprehend that attachment to worldly pleasures locks one to samsara or the endless cycle of birth and death while contrarily detachment from the infatuation of worldly pleasures frees one from samsara. So everyone should try to elevate themselves with determination by training their mind with constant practice to be unattached to sense objects. Lord Krishna is revealing the method of escaping perpetual incarceration in the material existence. The mind has the propensity to be one's dearest friend so why not utilise it to uplift oneself out of material darkness and into spiritual light. A controlled mind can accomplish so many beneficial endeavours for one's wellbeing. Whereas an uncontrolled mind is one's worst enemy performing base and degrading activities leading to destruction.

Now a question may asked as to whom is the mind a friend and for whom is the mind an enemy? Lord Krishna clarifies that the mind is the friend to that person who having complete control over the physical body, the senses and the mind has conquered their lower nature. The mind is the enemy to the person who is unable to control the physical body, the senses and the mind due to not having conquered their lower nature. As is stated by the sage Parasara: Man's mentality is verily the root cause of either their liberation or their bondage. The mind obsessed with sensual pleasures is bondage whereas the mind devoid of the desire to enjoy sensual pleasures leads to moksa or liberation from material existence.

Notes: 1) once the jeeva ( individual soul)begin to develop understanding that am not the body concept and he start to believe that he is a soul, than he will surely Probe the characteristic of soul.

2) When jeeva understand the mind and its mechanism, its emotions and his inner mind than jeeva will develop Equanimity and stay away from the all dualities such as cold and heat, happiness and distress, honour and dishonour. Such persons are serene and peaceful in all situations because they are established in spiritual knowledge and get a glimpse of godhead.

3) Most important is the ignorance of self, we could not identify yourself  and due to influence of environment we continually in trap of illusion created by past experiences , but by the Grace of guru the illusion vanishes and the light shines again.we can know the true self.

Important verse of Srimad Bhagvadgita -15

Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure or external objects but is always in trance, enjoying the pleasure within. In this way the self-realized person enjoys unlimited happiness, for he concentrates on the Supreme....5:21

An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kunti, such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.........5:22



Chapter 5, Verse 23. 
Before giving up this present body, if one is able to tolerate the urges of the material senses and check the force of desire and anger, he is a yogi and is happy in this world.

If a person is inclined to attachment to sensual pleasures they will never have the opportunity to experience the transcendental bliss of the realisation of the Brahman or the spiritual substratum pervading all existence. But a question may be raised what happiness can a person derive from life if they have introverted their senses and are averted to sense objects. Lord Krishna states the compound words sukham-aksayam meaning unlimited happiness is what such persons attains for with disconnection to the senses and objects of the senses a natural detachment arises which frees one from worldly desires allowing one to focus within on the eternal atma or eternal soul where one tastes boundless joy and experiences unlimited bliss.  This is the essential component that paves the way for perceiving the Brahman or spiritual substratum pervading all existence, atma tattva or realisation of the soul and moksa or liberation from the material existence and cognition of the ultimate truth of the Supreme Being.

t can be understood how a person being free from desires is no longer attached to sensual pleasures and focusing within and realising the atma or eternal soul is able to experience unlimited bliss. But the question which may be raised is how can one become unattached to the desire for sensual pleasures from the very beginning? Lord Krishna explains that all pleasures in the material world have a beginning and an end. When pleasures are first enjoyed they give an acute illusion of happiness but due to indomitable time when such pleasures come to an end as they all must they are the cause of acute misery. For this reason the spiritually intelligent who are endowed with the faculty of discriminative knowledge do not indulge in sense pleasures knowing them to be temporary and binding.

After expounding that desire and sense gratification are the sources of misery and suffering, Lord Krishna establishes that steadfast devotion to the eternal atma or soul is the source of eternal bliss. One may protest that without sensual pleasures life would have no taste. To refute the hyperbole of this mentality and to fortify the aspirants of moksa or liberation Lord Krishna strengthens the concept by the word sodhum meaning to tolerate or withstand. Withstand what? Withstand the impulses arising from kama or lust and krodha or anger. These impulses are very powerful and difficult like the strong current of a river. Kama is described as intense desire for sense objects which infatuate the mind due to increasing passion from seeing, hearing about or remembering objects of desire. Krodha is described as the modification of the mind in the form of anger caused by extreme situations of frustration in not obtaining the result of one's desires. The person who is able to tolerate this impulses and subsequently neutralise them by spiritual practices even before the end of life is a yogi or one who has perfected the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness. Such a being is spiritually situated and is undoubtedly joyful and content. Such persons and no others are qualified to accomplish the goal of human existence and succeed in the achievement of atma tattva or realisation of the eternal soul within all naturally created beings. One who slavishly always follows the urges of sensual pleasures, like an animal is unable to control their mind and therefore is unable to accomplish this goal.

पुरुष के लिए स्त्री और स्त्री के लिए पुरुष , और दोनों के लिए पुत्र(संतान), धन(जॉब), माकन(प्रोपर्टी) या स्वर्ग(ना ना प्रकार के पाखंड  धर्म के नाम पर ) आदि को  जो कुछ भी देखे  सुने हुए मन और इन्द्रियों के विषय है, उनमे आस्क्थी हो जाने के कारण उनको प्राप्त करने के लिए जो कुछ इच्छा होती है , उसका नाम काम है । और उसके कारण अन्थाह्कर्ण  में होने वाले नाना प्रकार के संकल्प-विकल्पओ का जो प्रवाह है , वह काम से उत्पन्न  होना वा वेग है ।

Important verse of Srimad bhagvadgita -14

A person who neither rejoices upon achieving something pleasant nor laments upon obtaining something unpleasant, who is self-intelligent, unbewildered, and who knows the science of God, is to be understood as already situated in Transcendence........5:20

जो  पुरुष  प्रिय को  प्राप्त  हो कर  हर्षित नहीं
 और अप्रि य को  प्राप्त हो  कर उद्वि ग्न न  हो,
वह  स्तिर  बुद्धि  संश य रहित ब्र ह्मा वेत्ता  पुरुष  परब्रह्म  परमा त्मा में  एकीभाव  से  नि त्य स्तित है।



Ramanuja's Commentary

Agreeable and disagreeable situations occur in accordance to the physical body one happens to dwell in and the karma or reactions to past life actions an embodied being is subjected to which both exemplify the grave risks of material existence. A person who would seek to scale the heights of spiritual knowledge should remain equiposed at all times and not feel elation at receiving something agreeable nor feel dejection at receiving something disagreeable. How is this possible? It is possible for one who is sthira-buddhir(स्थिर बुद्धि ) meaning steadfast intelligence. Such a person plants his mind and will in the stability of the atma or soul. The word asammudho(सं मूढो ) means not subject to delusion. If one is sammudho they are inflicted with delusion in the form of confusing the stable eternal atma with the unstable temporary body. How can one escape this delusion? If a person is brahma- vid or a knower of the spiritual substratum pervading all existence from instruction and brahmani sthitah or perceiving and experiencing the spiritual substratum pervading all existence every moment. The meaning Lord Krishna is conveying is that those who receive instructions from the bonafide spiritual preceptor  shall learn the exact nature and means of attainment of the eternal atma. This is brahma-vid. Such a one through diligent and sincere application of this spiritual knowledge always remembering and honouring the spiritual preceptor who mercifully gave such knowledge. In due course of time one will achieve atma tattva or realisation of the soul and in such an elevated position one will blissfully commune internally with the eternal atma and the eternal spiritual preceptor as well and from thenceforth nothing in the external world will ever again be perceived as being agreeable or being disagreeable.

Conclusion learning: Equanimity( समवृत्ति) is essential ingredient of life, learn to be steadfast head and practice it.

Important verse of Srimad bhagvadgita -13

The steadily devoted soul(निष्काम योगी ) attains unadulterated peace (अगाध शान्ति ) because he offers the result ( सम्पूर्ण कर्म फल का त्याग करना ) of all activities to Me (lord); whereas a person who is not in union with the Divine, who is greedy for the fruits of his labor r(कर्म ), becomes entangle   (फँसजाता  है )...........5:12 

Attachment to the rewards to be gained from one's actions is the root cause for bondage to the perpetual cycle of birth and death in material existence. Lord Krishna presents this assertion with positive and negative examples. The aspirant for atma tattva or realisation of the soul who unmotivated by desires offers all actions unto the Supreme Lord attains moksa or liberation and everlasting peace. Whereas the person who performs actions never offering them to the supreme is contaminated with the blemish of selfish motives and the craving of rewards and is unable to relinquish(त्यागना) the conception of ego and proprietorship (स्वामीत्व ) thinking that they are the body and miserably failing by such mentality are bound tightly in material existence.

विशेष : 1) One's actions is the root cause for bondage

          2) Unable to leave the ego or I am the body concept

          3) Results in - unable to rewrite the perception of mind.. which is root cause  of attachment to the rewards to be gained viz; an archer eyes to shoot and he is focused on it , but as soon as he is attached to the reward for shooting bulls eye;  he is attached to the reward, and he see two goals now one  is to posses the reward other is to shoot right and he gets confused, such person never can become devotee, Thus no peace, no happiness inside.

Important verse of Srimad Bhagvadgita-12

One who works in devotion, who is a pure soul, and who controls his mind and senses, is dear to everyone, and everyone is dear to him. Though always working, such a man is never entangled.(उलझाता )...........5:7

commentary by sri kesava kashmiri:

If it is postulated (  स्वयंसिद्धि)t hat the Brahman or spiritual substratum ( आधार ) pervading all existence is omnipresent  (   सर्वव्यापी )and transcendental             ( भावातीत ) to prakriti or material nature then how is it that a person engaged in actions within prakriti possesses the same attributes(गुण)? .To answer this Lord Krishna affirms that those practicing yoga or the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness while being engaged in actions with a pure mind, controlled senses and body and realizing that the atma or soul exists equally within all beings is the well wisher of all beings, such a yogi having overcome the duality of activity and inertia is not bound by actions. The word yoga specifically establishes that such a person is a yogi and achieving purity treats all beings equally and thus becomes transcendental to prakriti and equal to the Brahman in its attributes. Having attained the Brahman, fully peaceful in mind, neither grieving or desiring equipoise (संतुलन), in all situations and to all beings such a one obtains devotion to the Supreme. Thus the explanation given is quite appropriate.

Important Verse of Srimad Bhagvadgita-11

In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism. And one who has achieved this enjoys the self within himself in due course of time....4:38


In this world nothing is as purifying as spiritual knowledge. Then why is not everyone pursuing this? Lord Krishna explains that first one must become qualified from prolonged practice of karma yoga or prescribed Vedic activities performed without desire for rewards. Then in due course of time if there is no interruption knowledge will arise leading to purity of heart after which atma tattva or soul realisation will be achieved.
And this knowledge is hidden like smoke in firewood,oil in the oil seeds and butter in the milk...there is nothing from outside to achieve the same jiva (individual consciousness) would turn into super consciousness one it is churned by suffering. All our accumulated actions ( sanchita karma) would also be wiped out from us , we wont be operation by conditioning of mind or the perception of past accumulated experiences nor we do the judgement based on the experiences accumulated as memory , The mind actions would be pure as it is..
