Bhagavad Gita Bundle - Video 2

Hey, welcome to video number 4 of the Bhagavad Gita Mastery, chapter 16, Yoga of the Divine Attributes.

Now, we saw in the last video the secret of transcendence.

Now, I've gotta tell you, that's called Viveka.

You see, Viveka is called discrimination.

You can discriminate between real and unreal.

This is real and that is unreal.

That's when you get the ability to transcend, because that's one of the easiest way to overcome all this surmounting challenges.

The great ones never struggled with their problems.

They always- their struggle was a subjective side.

They did the two-minute meditation, they transcended the problem, and then they allowed the consciousness to enter into, and they just kept moving at fast pace.

They never, you know, worried about anything.

They just went there.

It's like taking a bath and going to work.

That's how they did, you know, period.

Now, I want to share with you another you know, strategy which they had, which is called Vairagya.

Viveka and Vairagya.

Viveka means discrimination between real and unreal, which is what is called transcendence.

And all this happens when you go back to the river, okay, the river and the lion.

The other is called Vairagya, which means renunciation.

Now this is very powerful.

I'm gonna share with you a very beautiful secret of what it really means.

See, we all have problems, right?

Your parents might have problem with their children.

And that might take up their 5 or 10 years of their life, or a husband might have of their wife, or wife of the husband, or or at work, or of your desires, anything, health.

So we have all these problems.

Now I'm gonna show you a way where you can renounce all your worries, okay, very quickly, almost like within 5 or 10 minutes.

This is how it goes.

Aurobindo was a great, you know, he was a great freedom fighter as well as a great spiritual person, and he was once arrested by the British policemen, you know, about I mean he's no longer there, I think this is about 100 years back or something.

So he was arrested because his brother was planting, you know, was producing bombs, and it seemed one of the British officers were killed, and they thought that Aurobindo had planted, and so he had not done that, but he was arrested.

And so when he was arrested, He was doing all his spiritual practices even before that for Krishna.

Very, you know, had a great relationship with Krishna.

And then when he was arrested, he said, put in a dingy jail, he said, "What is this, Krishna?

Every single day I have called you, prayed to you, and you put me in this place?" I mean, and all the other people, I mean, what is this?

And Krishna used to speak to him.

Krishna said, "You know, I've kept you in this place because A month back, I gave you a warning to get out of all this freedom struggle, but you did not, and you focused on that instead of focusing on this place.

And now I brought you here because here is where you're going to learn spirituality, where you're going to learn about this place.

And this is what exactly Aurobindo has written then.

And you know, Aurobindo had all these, you know, other people, all these most devilish creatures in that jail.

And Aravinda said, "What is this?

You know, you know, between all these people, how am I going to even survive?" And Krishna told, "You know, they are not devil.

Look at them." And he looked at them and he saw Krishna in them.

It's written that.

And you know, then he said, you know, the jailer was very tough.

Krishna said, "Look at the jailer." And he looked at the jailer and he saw Krishna in the jailer.

Krishna revealed that he was in the jailer.

And you don't have to worry because you are in a fine place.

Then he was taken to the court, all in chains and all that stuff, and he was presented before the court and the court hearing.

And as he was presented before the court, he knew that, you know, maybe that's it, you know, there's no chance of survival.

And he had so many things to say because he wanted the judge to say that, you know, I'm not guilty, this, that, and all that stuff.

And as he was going and he looked at the judge and he, you know, he said to Krishna, you know, What is this?

You know, where am I?

The judge is, you know, going to screw me up and what am I gonna- and Krishna told him, look at the judge.

And he looked and he saw Krishna.

And Krishna told him, let the judge give whatever decision, but I will overrule the judge's decision, meaning I will change his mind at the right time.

And he told Aravind one thing, this place, told to him, keep his mouth shut.

Keep quiet because this place told him it will do everything.

Now, so when Aravinda was asked questions, he did not reply to anything.

He said whatever, you know, he did not say anything in favor or negation of anyone.

He just kept quiet like a dumb person.

It seems he's written that, and for one year the hearings proceeded.

Every day, you know, every week or something, he was called, but he did not open his mouth because this place told him to keep his mouth quiet and he listened.

After 1 year, the judge ruled in his favor and he was set free.

Why?

Because he listened to this place.

He had so much relationship.

You see, you got to draw equity as they say.

You can only draw money from the bank if you have money.

You can only ask a person something only when you have built that relationship, right?

So that is very important.

When you have built a relationship with this place, This place is always there to help you.

Even if you've committed a murder, this place will help you and say, "Do this," and you know, it will help you.

It's very important.

Not that you have to do all the stupid things, but establish a relationship, an equity with this place.

That's what Aurobindo did.

That's what we do with the meditation.

Every day we go to the river, and you'll be surprised.

You might think, "What?" Well, I went there for 12 years.

Till this place, I got the first reflection.

That was my first meditation experience.

You know, people say I meditate 5 years.

I laugh at- you know, people laugh at that.

It's impossible to meditate for more than 2 minutes.

If you are shown your reflection, you can't do it for more than 2 minutes.

Only 4 or 5 people can do it on Earth.

But that's called Samadhi.

It's called Samadhi.

Very diff- you see this field, no, the lion seeing its own reflection, nothing else.

No mind, no matter, no time, no space.

You can't be there for more than 2 minutes.

Everyone else is trying to meditate, or they are stuck up in some station and wandering about with the angels dancing.

All that meditation is all total crap.

I mean, if I have to be very ruthless, because I know I have done all that nonsense, and I'm here to tell you, all it takes is just 2 minutes of meditation.

And you go and do that, and then you can write verses.

You can You can chant prayers for 1 hour.

See, you can do that, and that's- we'll talk about this in later videos.

So, what did Aurobindo did?

He renounced his speech in favor of this place.

Now, this is very important.

It was a big problem.

He had to get out of it.

This place told him, don't open his mouth.

So here's the secret.

If you have some big problem in your life which is not solvable, either in the money, health, or relationship, someone troubling you, some, you know, yours it is.

So here's how you do it.

Here's what you say, exact these words in your 2-minute meditation after you, you know, see that the lion has seen its reflection.

Say, this place has revealed to me to hand over this person or this event to Krishna or to whatever goddess you worship or deity or, you know, to whatever faith, Christ or Buddha, whatever.

So this place is revealed to me to hand over the event or person to Krishna.

Basically, you're handing over that, all your worries, all your problems, you're keeping it at the feet of Krishna or whatever deity.

Or if you have no, if you don't follow any religion or faith, you can say, you know, this place is revealed to me to hand over this person or event to this place itself.

That means this place will take care of itself.

That's how easy it is.

It is you hand over all your problems related to that person or event to Krishna and leave it.

Then you don't bother about it.

Then even if the person or event creates any trouble, you don't open your mouth or you instruct.

So important.

Do it for 3 days, 6 days, 7 days.

You will see it's miracle.

Even if you see it, don't do say anything.

Because this is a resolu- this is called sankalpa.

You see, Arbindo, Krishna told him not to this place through, you know, Krishna through this place told him not to open his mouth for 1 year.

He didn't speak anything.

He had so much things to speak.

See, you have so much things to speak, I have so much things to speak, but once we make a resolution, we can hand over Your biggest problem you can hand over to Krishna right now, just through this simple thing called Vairagya.

And you get that by going to the- doing the 2-minute meditation.

You get the strength.

See, we lack the strength.

That's why we are carrying the worries.

Hand it over to Krishna, says Krishna.

Krishna says, "Give it to me because it's none of your business.

You focus on this and you focus on your goals," Krishna says.

"I am there with you." See, bring this place into your life.

Krishna says, "I am there in you.

I am the self-presenting essence of all beings." So when you combine Viveka, the discrimination, the ability to transcend, transcend some problems wherever you can through that power, and where you cannot, renounce it, Vairagya.

Hand over that to Krishna.

And no matter what it is, and then, you know, you don't interfere.

It's when I say don't do, meaning not that you just sit like a stone.

I say don't interfere.

Keep doing all your things more powerfully.

Keep loving.

If it's a personal event and you are not happy, keep loving more.

Keep doing all your actions more and more, but don't interfere.

Don't bring your mind.

Don't bring your guna, not your mind.

Don't bring your guna because there's nothing like a mind.

We have seen that.

Always say there's nothing like mind.

There's nothing like thought.

There is only my tendencies, my guna.

And so I will You know, work and do the things with more zeal, but I will not interfere and bring in my gunas in between.

So you are like that lion in the river.

So Viveka and Vairagya.

You come here, you'll get this training.

I've always done that because we all have some big problems, and we should not carry it.

We you should give it to Krishna.

That's Vairagya.

Do it for small things, and you would be a great hit in the eyes of Krishna.

Thank you and God bless.
