डाल देते हैं। जब कर्म किए जाते हैं जिन्हें या तो बुरे के रूप में चिन्हित किया जाता है या वांछित कर्मफल नहीं मिलता है तो अपने आप को दोषी मानते हैं और पछतावे से भर जाते हैं। इसका परिणाम यह होता है कि यह दूसरों के प्रति कई गहरे विद्वेष और कड़वाहट पैदा करता है जो कभी-कभी जीवन भर तक बना रहता है। दूसरी ओर, जब भी हमारी स्मृति हमें हमारे पछतावे की याद दिलाती है तो हम बार-बार खुद को सजा देते हैं। परिस्थिति कैसी भी हो यह श्लोक हमें स्वयं को बेहतर बनाने में मदद करता है। श्रीकृष्ण ने पहले 3.34 श्लोक में आश्वासन दिया कि जब हम साष्टांग प्रणाम, प्रश्न करना और सेवा के तीन गुणों को विकसित करते हैं, तो गुरु हमारी मदद करने के लिए प्रकट होते हैं। दूसरे, यह अपनी पूर्णता और कमियों को अपनाकर अपने पछतावों को पार करना है। यह पूर्णता या कमियाँ हमारी शारीरिक बनावट, विकट अतीत, हमारी शैक्षिक या आर्थिक स्थिति हो सकती हैं या वे सुखद और अप्रिय परिस्थितियाँ हो सकती हैं जिनका हमने सामना किया था। तीसरा, जब हम अपने खुद के मित्र होते हैं, तो हमारे भीतर अकेलेपन के लिए कोई जगह नहीं होती जो अवसाद, क्रोध और किसी भी तरह की लत (पदार्थों या स्क्रीन) का मुख्य कारण है। यह हमें किसी पर निर्भर हुए बिना आनंदमय होने में मदद करती है, खासकर जब व्यक्ति वृद्धावस्था के नजदीक होता है। अंत में, कहा जा सकता है कि यह शारीरिक, मानसिक, सामाजिक और आध्यात्मिक रूप से अपना ख्याल रखते हुए एक संतुलित जीवन जीने के बारे में है ताकि जीवन के प्रत्येक पहलू को अच्छी तरह से संभाला जा सके। जब हम एक बार अपने आप से मित्रता कर लेते हैं, तो स्वाभाविक

A tree can never know the seed which gave it its existence; an eye cannot see itself which limits our ability to understand our origin, and due to the limitation of our senses the same holds true for the Paramatma's origin too. One simple solution is to provide a mirror to the eye so that it can see itself and in this chapter, Krishna provides many instances which can act like a mirror giving HIS glimpses. Krishna says, "Whoever realises Me to be the unborn, beginning-less and supreme Lord of existence, conquers delusion and is liberated of all sins" (10.3). Krishna is talking about realisation at the existential level, not merely by-hearting at the memory level. This involves being one with existence like the proverbial salt doll melting into the ocean, by shedding our Ahankaar. Our Ahankaar is our biggest delusion and once it is dropped, it is conquered. Any Karma becomes a sin once 'I' is attached to it and being free of Ahankaar is liberation from sins. Citing his glimpses, Krishna Says, "From Me alone arise the varieties of qualities in humans, such as intellect, knowledge, freedom from doubt, forgiveness, truthfulness, control over the senses and mind, joy and sorrow, birth and death, fear and courage, non-violence, equanimity, contentment, austerity, charity, fame, and infamy" (10.4 and 10.5).

చేయాలనే చిన్న తపన మన జీవన మార్గాన్నే గొప్పగా మార్చగలిగే సామర్ధ్యాన్ని కలిగి ఉంటుంది. కోవిడ్-19 మహమ్మారి వల్ల మనకు అందుబాటులో ఉన్న కాలాన్ని భగవద్గీతలో మునగడానికి ఉపయోగిస్తే మన జీవితంలో పెద్ద మార్పు రావడానికి అవకాశము ఉంది. భగవద్గీత ప్రాథమిక విద్య (కిండర్ గార్డెన్) నుంచి పోస్ట్ గ్రాడ్యుయేషన్ చదివేవారి దాకా ఆత్మజ్ఞానం కోసం చదవదగ్గ శాశ్వతమైన పాఠ్య పుస్తకం. మొదటిసారి చదివినప్పుడు చాలా తక్కువ అంశాలు అర్ధమవుతాయి. కానీ, మనం వ్యక్తము మరియు అవ్యక్తం యొక్క దృష్టి కోణం నుంచి సులభంగా అర్థం చేసుకోవచ్చు. మన ఇంద్రియాల పరిధిలోకి వచ్చేవి వ్యక్తమైనవి; ఇంద్రియాలకు అతీతమైనవి అవ్యక్తమైనవి. వ్యక్తమయ్యే వాటి కథ బిగ్ బాంగ్ (బృహత్ ప్రళయం) మొదలు నక్షత్రాల పుట్టుక, ఈ నక్షత్రాల్లోని కీలకమైన భాగాల్లో అత్యున్నత రసాయనిక మూలకాలు కలిగిన అణువుల నిర్మాణం, నక్షత్రాలు విచ్ఛిత్తికి గురైనప్పుడు ఈ మూలకాలు చెల్లాచెదురవుతున్న తీరు, గ్రహ మండలం ఏర్పాటు, భూమ్మీద బౌద్ధిక జీవితం ఆరంభం వంటి అనేక అంశాలను వివరిస్తాయి. ఈ వ్యక్తమైన జీవ రూపాలు, గ్రహాలు, నక్షత్రాలు, చివరికి ఈ విశ్వం కూడా ఒక నిర్దిష్టమైన కాల పరిమితిని కలిగి ఉన్నాయి అని శాస్త్రీయ సమాజం అంగీకరించిన వాస్తవం. కానీ అంచనా వేసిన కాల పరిమితుల్లో తేడా రావచ్చు. వ్యక్తమయ్యే వాటి దృక్కోణంలో మనం పుట్టినప్పటి నుండీ చనిపోయే దాకా మనుగడ కలిగి ఉంటామన్నది వాస్తవం. అవ్యక్తమైన వాటి దృక్కోణంలో చూసినట్లయితే, భగవద్గీత చెప్పే ప్రకారం మనం పుట్టుకకు ముందు, చావు తరువాత కూడా మనుగడ కలిగి ఉంటాము. మన మనసులో ఈ స్పష్టతను దృష్టిలో పెట్టుకుంటే, భగవద్గీతలో వివరించినట్లుగా మనం వ్యక్తము అవ్యక్తముల యొక్క అనుబంధాన్ని సులభంగా అర్థం చేసుకుని, అవ్యక్తమైన లక్ష్యాన్ని (మోక్షాన్ని) గుర్తించి, పొందగలుగుతాము. అహంకారమే ఈ మార్గంలో ప్రయాణానికి అవరోధంగా ఉంటుంది. అయితే, బయటి ప్రపంచంలో సుఖదుఃఖాలకు అతీతంగా, మనలో ఎంత ఆనందం నిండి ఉన్నది అనేది అవ్యక్తమైన అంతరాత్మ వైపు సాగే ప్రయాణంలో సాధించిన పురోగతికి సూచిక.]]>203false88fullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/127-learn-to-listen-to-learn--58713662 A two dimensional map is used to represent a three dimensional territory. It's an easy, useful and convenient way, but has its limitations. We need to experience the territory to fully appreciate it. The same is the case with 'words' which attempt to describe a multidimensional life in terms of people, situations, thoughts, feelings and actions. But words too have many limitations. Firstly, words are polar. If one is described as good we assume the other to be bad. There are hardly any words which can describe a state beyond polarities. Secondly, the same word evokes different feelings in different people depending on their experiences and circumstances. That's why some cultures use silence to communicate in order to overcome these limitations of multiple interpretations. Thirdly, we tend to stop at the literal meaning of words which is like knowing about the truth but not being truthful. One such word is ME which is used by both Krishna and Arjun. While Arjun's ME is his identification with divisions, Krishna's ME is oneness encompassing all divisions of the manifested existence. The awareness of the limitations of words will help us to understand the Gita. The following verse is one such instance. Krishna says, "O Partha, Listen; with your mind completely fixed upon Me, practising yoga, taking refuge in Me, you will without doubt come to know Me in full" (7.1). To reach Krishna's Me, we need to dissolve ourselves as a salt doll dissolves itself to be the ocean. Krishna used the word Shrun (Listen) which needs attention. We were taught how to speak. It could be a language or how to express ourselves. But we were hardly taught 'how to listen'.

There are three major issues faced by us to attain oneness. One is that it is called by different names in different cultures and to compound the complexity, the paths prescribed by these cultures appear to be opposing one another. Secondly, our mind is trained to divide which prevents attaining oneness. Thirdly, we tend to reject what we don't know and oneness is completely new territory for us. Reflecting on these difficulties Arjun asks how to control the mind. Krishna says, "No doubt, the mind is restless and difficult to control, but it can be controlled by practice (abhyaas) and dispassion (vairaagyam) (6.35). Take my word that Yoga is hard to attain by the ungoverned man but it can be attained by means of striving" (6.36). Krishna had earlier advised regular practice with the determination (6.23) to bring the restless mind under control (6.26). Vairaagya is the polar opposite of raag or attachment. Life gives moments of both raag and vairaagya on a daily basis but our mind practises only raag which is chasing desires. For example, we can get frustrated in a relationship and when it happens we blame our partner and look for a new relationship instead of realising that a relationship (raag) itself holds the potential for frustration (vairaagya). The practice of vairaagya is nothing but a deepening of the realisation that we can't attain joy from outside or from anyone. Our past experiences of vairaagya can help us sink in this realisation especially when they are repeated in the present moment Death is eternal, powerful and a master of equanimity.

Understanding awareness, curiosity, knowledge and experience will help us comprehend what Krishna said. Jnana is awareness about self and one is content when one attains it. Vijnana, also called science, can be interpreted as curiosity about things and people. Collection of all these curiosities along with their answers is nothing but the knowledge which is always of the past and is available in books. Curiosity is helpful in the initial stages of the internal journey but has got its limitations. Even science had to content itself with limitations such as uncertainty principles and dualities regarding particles and waves. On the other hand, existence is immutable and in scientific terms, keeps constantly evolving. Curiosity looks for answers, but existence responds with experiences that are unique to each of us and there is no way to share them. Satisfaction in vijnana doesn't mean that all questions are answered instead, it means that one's curiosity has subsided which is nothing but a state of witness -a sakshi or drishta. Essentially, it is accepting things, people and situations as they are without any judgements and expectations which is the state of 'choiceless awareness.' Krishna spoke about being unshaken and conquering senses. When someone praises us, we assume that we deserve each bit of it and get angry with criticism.

In fact, cultures have defined various karmas (actions) as sins and the list changes with time. In the modern context, countries have their penal codes which mandate some actions to be crimes or sins and thus punishable when committed. In any case, we keep punishing ourselves through guilt, regret and shame when such perceived sins are performed by us.  In this context, Krishna says that "One hoping for nought, with controlled mind and body, having relinquished all possessions, doing mere bodily actions, incurs no sin (4.21)." Krishna earlier talked about sin and told Arjun, "To treat pleasure and pain; profit and loss; victory and defeat alike and do battle, whereby he would not incur any sin (2.38)." The subtle issue to be understood in evaluating sin is that we normally evaluate it based on actions performed by us in the physical world, whereas for Krishna it is the inner phenomenon. Whatever flows out of us is the result of our state of mind and Krishna asks us to exercise control there. At a philosophical level, this raises many doubts in us, but at an experiential level, one attains clarity.  Krishna further says that "Content with whatever is got unsought, rising above the pairs of dualities (Dwandwa-ateeth), free from envy, equanimous in success and failure (sidhi-asiddhi), though acting he is not bound (4.20)".

This familiar story presents several angles on the issue of handling disappointment, contentment and happiness.  Contemporary psychology talks about 'synthesising happiness' as one of the functions of the human brain to help us move out of difficult situations. The fox did exactly this by satisfying itself that the grapes were sour and moved on. In the context of contentment, Krishna goes beyond 'synthesising happiness' and says that, "Having renounced attachment to fruits of action, the ever content (nitya-tripth), depends on nothing, he doesn't do anything though he is engaged in action (4.20)." Contentment with self is one of the common threads in the Gita and on many occasions, Krishna advises Arjun to be Atmavaan or Atmatripth, which is essentially contented with self. Atmavaan spreads the fragrance of contentment under any circumstances he's in. Earlier Krishna talked about karma and akarma where he mentioned that even the wise get confused in handling these intricate issues. In the present verse, he gives glimpses of akarma in karma when he says that an ever-content doesn't do anything though he is engaged in action.  Our present chase is to be different from what we are today, to be someone else and interestingly, that 'someone' again wants to be someone else. The story is the same in the chase of pleasures and possessions where the goalposts shift constantly.  When the realisation dawns that all the chases of pleasures and possessions are nothing but chasing of mirages and that the chases made us sick and tired, we slowly start dropping the desire for karma-phal to become ever-content with the self.
