KarmaYoga Continued….

The two obstacles to be KarmaYogi are Love and Hate. We love what we want and we hate what we don’t want. One should raise himself above Love and Hate to become KaramaYogi.

For that one should follow Swadharma and continuously introspect. A merchant follows his Swadharma by selling goods but if he sells bad quality of good to earn more money means he is avoiding his Swadharma. The Karama should be done by heart. If one follows Swadharma and does his Karma by putting his soul, he loses ego, anger, becomes detached and enlightened.

While doing Karma one should introspect. He will find Dosha, he should improve on it. One will learn with practice how to be detached, how to overcome love and hate. Once you learn it and practice it, it becomes your nature over the time.

Out aim should be to transform our Karama to Akarama by doing it with heart, overcoming our Doshas (Love, Hate and Attachment) and once we learn it, it becomes our nature by practicing it over the time. Such state of doing Akarma is Sanyasa.

KarmaYoga has two aspects – Yoga and Sanyasa.

Yoga – The one who does Karma transforming to Akarama. Such a person does Karama but never feels that he is doing anything as it is his nature to do it. The scientists work very hard, they work 24x7 and come up with inventions but they don’t realize the efforts for it as its their nature.

Sanyasa – Saints don’t do anything but they create greater impact to society by not doing anything Jesus Christ did not rebel or oppose his killer but his act of not doing anything transform the society.

Eventually Sanyasi and Yogi are the same state of following KarmaYoga, one by doing things by not doing anything and one by doing nothing even also doing it all the time.

To do the things without doing things is possible only for Siddhas (who has achieved the state). This is difficult to understand for Sadhaka, Sadhaka can follow the art of Akrama to become Siddha.

KarmaYoga As Explained In Bhagwat Geeta

Karma is what you do. Yoga is art. KarmaYoga is art of doing.

KarmaYoga says – Do your duties but do not wish for any result in return. Do your duties and willingly surrender the right to receive in return. Be good to people but do not expect they to be good to you or anything else in return.

Every person has Raja qualities, Tama qualities and Satva qualities. Raja qualities say - ‘I will do it for the result’, Tam qualities say – ‘If I am not going to get any result I wont do it’. Bhagwat Geeta says improve your Satva qualities, do your duties without thinking of the result.

The quality of a work of a person would be better who does things without any expectations as he doesn’t waste time even on imagining getting reward or result of his work. He is totally engrossed in his work. A painter makes painting because he loves doing that. If anyone ask him not to do that he can not live happily. That becomes his dharma. The paintings get him money that becomes its additional benefit.

Saint Pundalik ws busy in serving his parents, God pleased with his service and came to meet him. But Pundalik denied meeting God saying he is busy in serving his parents. That’s the best example of sacrificing result of Karma. Pundalik was so much into doing his Karma that he was least bothered about its result. While performing such Nishkam Karma do not even expect Moksha. Not expecting, not wanting anything is only state of Moksha.

While doing Karma put your heart into it, then you will not be burdened. You wont realize that you are doning something, rather you will enjoy it. Karma did in this way is Akarma.

What you achieve by such Akarma is ultimate joy.  Akarma takes individual and the society to higher level. He becomes idol for others. Such a person don’t sell drugs to earn more. He or she always keep doing things to make the place better to live. Karmayogi doesn’t stop his Krama even though he is contented. If he does that others will stop doing Karma even if they are not contented.

Akarma takes one to Moksha.

Key To Success In Life

SwaDharma expalined in Bhagwat Geeta –

Dharma, Religion, explained in Bhagwat Geeta is not Hindu Religion or Islam Religion or Christian Religion.  It’s a religion of self. When one is born he or she gets this religion naturally. None has to search for it. The society exists before we are born, our parents exist before we born, so naturally to serve them becomes our religion. That’s the purpose of our life.

Every life has a purpose and every person is born with his unique religion. Each one’s religion is equally important because everyone is born with unique purpose. However you feel others life is of higher importance one should not try to adapt to that religion of life as it may not suite you. Because of sunlight we get food, we are delighted, we respect Sun and if we start thinking Sun is better than Earth as it emits light but living on Sun can not become better option. Milk is rich in proteins does not mean fish can stay in milk rather in water.

When Arjun looked around the battle field and thought of accepting Sanyasi Dharma, Krishna explained him not to leave his own religion because of Moh, but his religion was Kshatriya and to continue with his Swadharma.

There will be many occasions of Moh when one will feel to leave our dharma and accept some other but Bhagwan says one has to overcome it.

Self religion keeps changing. The religion what you had ten years before was different than what you have today and it will be different than what you will have ten years after. Self religion keeps changing with experience and knowledge.

Key to success is to follow Swadharma.

Blessed Parents

One of the greatest learning of Bhagwat Geeta is ‘Karmanyewadhikaraste Ma Faleshu Kadhachan’. Do your karmas without any expectations. It’s a belief of Hinduazism who follows this principle in life gets Moksha.

That’s why whenever a child is born in a family it’s always considered as blessing of god as parent most of the people invariably follows the principle of Bhagwat Geeta. They just do their best for the upbringing of the child without any expectation. Their happiness lies in child’s happiness.

Moreover, I feel daughter’s parents are most punyawans as they don’t even expect girl to look after themselves in their old days. They nurture their daughter so that she can take care of someone else’s family. They have great heart.

In India, its considered to have son as the blessed parents but I feel the real blessed are the one having girl child.
