ACT WITHOUT FEAR & DESIRE🔗

It is our thought process that constantly takes us from past to future and back again and does not allow us to rest in the present moment. Understand this clearly, when we are in the present moment we can stay out of trouble without fear and desire. We can act without fear and desire. You may ask how?

How can I be motivated to do something if I do not desire it? There is no need for motivation. Do you think that it is motivation that makes you breathe or digest your food? It is the intelligence of the energy that is within and without us that makes it possible for us to live and grow. We live not because of us but inspite of us. When we act without attachment, there is no consequence to our actions, there is no karma arising from our actions.

There is a very beautiful verse in the Isavasya Upanishad

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात् पूर्णमुदच्यते । पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥

Om poornamadah poornamidam Poornaat poornamudachyate Poornasya poornamaadaaya Poornamevaavashishyate

From the Whole came the Whole. If you remove the Whole from the Whole, only the Whole remains. By very nature we seek the Wholeness. By very nature we seek fulfillment in anything we do.

Whether it is eating, drinking, jumping, reading, talking, sleeping, or meditating, in any activity that we engage, our being yearns to completely experience the activity and be fully involved in it. Are we fully conscious of every action we engage in? Are we aware every moment of our lives?

Anything that we do and experience intensely and deeply will always leave our system. It will liberate us. Any experience that we did not go through completely, through which we did not have complete fulfillment, that did not get our full energy, attention and awareness, remains inside us as karma.

To make the children understand about the topic of fulfillment.

assessment

• When we can stay in mindfulness? Which understanding leads to mindfulness? When we can stay in awareness? What takes us from past to future? What happens when we act without attachment? What happens to do the unfulfilled experience?

Conclusion

When we act without attachment, there is no consequence to our actions. When there is no consequence to our actions we remain in the state of Fulfillment. This is what Lord Krishna means when He says ,

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन Karmanevarikarasthe Ma Phaleshu Kadachana Do Your work or Action. without expectation of results.
