yat sāṅkhyaiḥ prāpyate sthānaṁ tad yogairapi gamyate ekaṁ sāṅkhyaṁ ca yogaṁ ca yaḥ paśyati sa paśyati
He who knows, knows that the state reached by renunciation (sankhya) and action (karma) are one and the same. State reached by renunciation can also be achieved by action,
Sometimes you are an optimist and sometimes you are a pessimist. Both can lead to the same goal if the inner space is pure and complete.
sannyāsastu mahābāho duḥkhamāptumayogataḥ yogayukto munirbrahma na cireṇādhigacchati
Renunciation without devotional service afflicts one with misery, Oh mighty-armed one. The wise person engaged in devotional service attains the Supreme without delay.
When we are complete and ecstatic, flowing spontaneously in tune with the wonderful symphony of Existence, we are true brahmacāris.
yogayukto viśuddhātmā vijitātmā jitendriyaḥ sarvabhūtātma-bhūtātmā kurvannapi na lipyate
The person engaged in devoted service, beyond concepts pure and impure, self-controlled and who has conquered the senses is compassionate and loves everyone, although engaged in work, he is never entangled.
Have the courage to live life with intelligence, with consciousness and completion, with spontaneity. Just this small shift in your space can do wonders for you; every moment will then be a celebration!
naiva kiñcitkaromīti yukto manyeta tattvavit paśyan śṛṇvan spṛśañ jighrann aśnan gacchan svapañ śvasan
One who knows the truth, though engaged in seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, going, dreaming, and breathing, always knows within himself that he never does anything.
When we are so involved in the action, when we are completely relaxed, we are overflowing with compassion and love, and we just do out of the blissful energy in us
pralapan visṛjan gṛhṇann unmiṣannimiṣannapi indriyāṇīndriyārtheṣu vartanta iti dhārayan
'I never do anything at all.' While talking, letting go, receiving, opening, closing, he considers that the senses are engaged with their sense objects.
Understand that the senses, body and mind are not us. We are something much beyond these.
Who is an optimist and who is a pessimist? An optimist is a man who created the airplane. A pessimist is a man who created the seat-belt. In life you always play both the roles. Sometimes you are an optimist and sometimes you are a pessimist. Here, both can lead to the same goal if the inner space is pure and complete. Please listen: Whenever we move our body while feeling a particular emotion, that emotion gets settled inside our system. That emotion will become part of us and get created again and again in our system. Jiḍḍu Kṛṣṇamurti, an Enlightened Master from Bharat, made a wonderful statement about emotions. He says, 'If you can, try to remain centered, silent, without moving your body when a particular emotion rises in you, without cooperating with it. Within eleven times, or I can say within eleven emotional upsets, if you have managed to be this way, you will be liberated from that emotion.'
With integrity and authenticity, eleven times is too much. When that emotion rises in you, don't cooperate. Let your body not go after that emotion. Don't be taken away by that emotion. Just decide, 'I am not going to be taken away by this emotion. I am completing with it.' I tell you, within three or four times, you will be liberated from that emotion because you will learn the technique of completion.
