Hey, this is Vish here and welcome to video number 15 of the 2-minute club.
00:07
And you know, it's like almost 15 days have passed by.
00:09
It's such a wonderful thing because we are learning.
00:12
In fact, we are not learning, it's just happening.
00:15
Every single day is just becoming so powerful because it's just like entering into new worlds.
00:21
So, one of the things I want to share with you today is You know, your eyes, your eyes are not seeing what your hands and legs are doing.
00:33
So far, you know, your, our eyes are not seeing what our hands and legs are doing.
00:41
Your eyes are only cooperating with what your hands and legs are doing.
00:46
Now, this is very important because if your eyes could see what your hands and legs are doing, you know, you would be completely pain-free.
00:53
You would be completely pain-free.
00:54
You, your eyes are only cooperating with your hands and legs because your hands and legs are all influenced by the thoughts and feelings, and that's what's driving them.
01:04
And your eyes are only cooperating.
01:05
Now, this is very important.
01:06
That's why our number one goal is to get out.
01:12
Step one is to get out of the thinking and feeling.
01:14
That's so, you know, get to the next stage of seeing.
01:17
And the moment we do that, you know, we become pain-free.
01:20
The whole idea is to be pain-free.
01:22
And I want to talk to you about, you know, who was this?
01:26
Muhammad Ali.
01:27
Muhammad Ali, in his boxing match, I think with George Foreman it was, he said something very interesting.
01:32
He said, you know, Muhammad Ali, you know, was like, till the almost like 7th or 8th round, he was being punched.
01:39
I mean, he was like on the ropes, like George Foreman was almost winning.
01:43
You're like knocking him off and he was like somehow defending, you know, Muhammad Ali.
01:48
And then suddenly in one round he came and he knocked George Foreman and he did and that was just history.
01:54
But Muhammad Ali, after the game, he said something interesting.
01:57
He said, the reporter asked him, so how did you win?
02:00
I mean, how did you take all these blows?
02:02
And he said, and he said something interesting.
02:05
I want you to listen to this.
02:06
He said to the reporter that the reason he won was George Foreman, he said, his hands can't hit where his eyes can't see.
02:18
So he said- now I'll repeat that again.
02:21
Muhammad Ali said, his hands can't hit where his eyes can't see.
02:26
So George Foreman couldn't hit Muhammad Ali where his eyes can't see, meaning that his, you know, the the the the Atman of Muhammad Ali was always protected.
02:37
So he was- George Foreman was hitting in all parts which was, you know, which did not make any impact because the- because his, his hands can't hit where his eyes can't see.
02:50
And because George Foreman was not evolved, you know, he couldn't hit him in the place where, you know, he would- you know, Muhammad Ali would lose.
02:58
So that's the reason he said that I was able to win, because his hands can't hit where his eyes can't see.
03:04
Now, you know, so This seeing is a completely different ball game, and I want you to fall in love with it.
03:11
That this is something which is like- the goal is to make you pain-free.
03:15
You see, that is step 1.
03:17
And so I want to talk to you, and this is what Krishna also told to Arjun in the Bhagavad Gita.
03:23
So I want to tell you something, you know, Krishna told Arjun to, you know, go ahead and kill his opponents.
03:30
And so Arjun was like confused.
03:31
He said, you're talking about all this Atman and God, and now you're telling me to kill him?
03:36
Kill those opponents.
03:37
And so Krishna, you know, that's the whole thing of Bhagavad Gita where Krishna told that this is what is your duty because you are now a warrior, you are in the battlefield.
03:46
And there was something interesting he said.
03:48
Krishna said, I want you to listen to you.
03:53
Right on this call, I am liberating you, okay?
03:55
All your actions, all your actions, whatever you did in the past and whatever you do in the future, is error-free.
04:04
Of every one of you, me, every single 7 billion on Earth.
04:07
But you and I don't understand that.
04:10
All your actions, no matter how good or bad it is, they are error-free.
04:16
Meaning nothing of that will happen to you if you realize your Atman.
04:23
If you realize your Atman.
04:25
If you don't, here's what will happen.
04:28
All the thinking and feeling which you have accumulated gets transformed into a body.
04:33
In the form of a guna, in the form of tendency, and we come back again.
04:36
Did you get that?
04:38
So Krishna told to Arjuna, because Arjuna asked, then what is sin?
04:41
You know, if you're saying that killing is also fine, what do you mean by sin?
04:44
And that's what Krishna says, Shri Bhagavanovacha, Shri Bhagavanovacha.
04:52
Its source is craving wrath.
04:54
Krishna defines sin.
04:55
Its source is craving wrath born out of the constant rajo guna.
05:00
Know it to be a foe in this context.
05:03
Just as fire is obscured by smoke, mirror by dirt, embryo by the womb, so is knowledge by craving.
05:10
The knowledge of the knower is obscured by this mist of craving, as insatiable as fire.
05:16
Its dwelling place is the body, mind, and intellect.
05:20
Therefore, the senses control mind control destroy this wicked craving that destroys all intelligence.
05:24
So that was a mouthful.
05:26
But what Krishna says is that this feeling and this thinking, this thing is what gives us body consciousness, and it is what becomes the reason which is called as Agami Karma, the reason for our being coming back again.
05:44
So I want to keep it very simple for you.
05:46
All your actions, whatever you did in the past, is error-free.
05:52
Whatever you will do in the future, you and I, whatever, I don't care, whatever.
05:58
But you, me, everyone is error-free if we realize the Atman, meaning if we are pain-free, if we are Maya-free, then, you know, we- it it's it it this doesn't matter.
06:14
However, if you don't realize the Atman, all your thinking and feeling gets carried forward into another body.
06:22
It's very, very important.
06:24
So we are confusing the actions with the feeling.
06:27
Krishna says, and the all the error is in this feeling when we get stuck up in the feeling.
06:32
If you try, if you make the next move to the seeing and you make yourself pain-free, Maya-free, then that's it.
06:42
Because all these actions which is happening is because of lane 1, the Prarabdha Karma.
06:48
It's just playing itself out.
06:50
It's exhausting.
06:52
You there is no fear.
06:53
Suppose someone murders.
06:56
You see, you got to know that he is going to come back because he has not realized his Atman, not because he murdered.
07:02
Now that's a big statement, but that's what it is.
07:05
That's what it is.
07:07
Why would you and I be born here?
07:09
We have not done any murder or anything, right?
07:11
Why are we here?
07:12
Because of a simple reason—we couldn't get to the next stage of seeing.
07:16
We couldn't become Maya-free.
07:18
We couldn't realize the Atman.
07:20
So that's why this Life is a great opportunity.
07:23
But you got to know that we are confusing the actions with the feelings.
07:28
Because we are not able to come out of the feelings and make ourselves Maya-free, we sort of like point fingers on the actions and point fingers and struggle inside.
07:38
That's why this is an individual game.
07:40
Because these are all secrets.
07:41
I mean, obviously, you know, you can't say this to the public because people will then misinterpret it.
07:46
But this is what it is.
07:48
This is what Krishna said, this is what everyone said.
07:51
This has got to- we are mixing both the things, the actions and the feelings.
07:55
This is so important because it's liberating.
07:57
So no matter what you do in your money, health, relationship, no action- all actions are error-free because there is no good and bad in the actions.
08:08
And this is very important, all the good and bad is in the feelings.
08:13
Which becomes the reason for another body.
08:16
But the moment you realize Atman, you make yourself Maya-free.
08:19
Because here's the thing, even if you and I want to do a bad thing, we cannot do it unless it's written in the lane 1.
08:29
It will never happen because what the real definition of the word happening is that which has already happened.
08:34
So don't confuse yourself with, you know, the thing which has happened, because that is not in anyone's control.
08:43
But this is 100% in our control.
08:45
And when you become pain-free, you automatically- that's it's liberating.
08:49
It's like then your consciousness- then something miracle happens.
08:54
And I'll share that with you in the next video of what happens.
08:59
The miracle continues.
09:00
More of that in the next video.
09:01
Thank you very much.
09:01
God bless
