4 ways the mind troubles Gita 6.34 Salt Lake City – Chaitanya Charan

There are two cases in which the mind may trouble us. What are the cases? Yeah. Mind sometimes are paid and sometimes the mind isn’t paid. So it desires a moving piece.

So when the world is threatening us, that time will be comforting. Now when we are seeking things in the world, when we are creating control, power, pleasure, at that time also, the you can go to see the fortune. That time you control it. And then we discussed about comforting the mighty. How do we do that?

There was one metaphor I discussed yesterday, which I have throughout the session. What was that? The previous in the world. Yes. So you’re talking about if somebody is sick, they need to be aware of the gravity of the sickness, and they need to be aware of the competence of the doctor.

So if both are there, then they’ll take the disease seriously and take the treatment seriously, and they will be cured. And Krishna, the Bhagavad Gita assures Arjuna that do not fear. There’ll be no loss which is useful. So when you continue that theme today, do we have the box, What are the copies? Can you get it, please?

So We go to section, Anita. That is six thirty five where Arjuna says that this is very difficult to control, and how can I control it? So Yes. So do we have something lately? I’ll display it here also.

We’re going to see it here also. This is based on 6.34 where Arjuna is expressing the apprehension. So release me, oh god. We’re done with that. We’re done with that.

We’re done with this. We’re done with this. We’re done with this. We’re done with this. We’re done with this.

We’re done with this. We’re done with this. We’re done with this. We’re done with this. We’re done with this.

We’re done with this. We’re done with this. We’re done with this. We’re done with this. We’re done with this.

We’re done with this. We’re done with this. We from the mind that is restless, reasonless, ruthless, ruthless, and relentless. And we feel that we are very less to deal with the mind, and we know very less for the mind. So let’s recite this The mind is restless, reasonless, ruthless, and relentless.

The curve is so daunting as if a stormy wind, I will grasp it. As if a stormy wind, I will grasp it. So let’s look at this. Who would like to read this? You have a second.

Yes, please. My dear lord, the mind is, by its very nature, restless. When I try to focus on something, it wanders off to something else. How much of the life have I lost to distraction? My lord, please reveal to your supreme attractiveness and bring my restless mind to rest me.

Yes. So we’re going to discuss these four attributes of the mind one by one. So the first is that the mind is restless. This is a translation of the word. Chinchala is can be does not stay at oneness.

So normally, yesterday, I drew this functioning that there’s a soul, there’s the mind, and then there’s a form. So this is how we normally function. This for an organ functioning to happen, the soul, mind, and body need to be in one line. So for example, you are looking at me. I’m looking at you.

And so your eyes are focused on you. Your mind also has to focus on what I’m speaking or what I’m, writing. Similarly, if I see that what I’m saying is not comprehensive, I do attend to you so that I can make things clear. So the we see not just with our eyes, but we also see with our mood. So for example, when we are distracted.

Now distraction, what does it mean that the soul is here? The soul is here. The body is here. And the mind is here. So now what happens is from the soul, consciousness is the stream.

This color is a bit. Consciousness is like the stream that comes out from the soul. Just for example, if I is there echo? It’s going to be so if I consider this is my mic. It’s my phone.

It is a flash shot. So the source of the light, that is the soul. And now the view of light coming from the soul is consciousness. There’s atma, and there is. So now is the light still there?

Still there, but it’s not. It’s still there, but it’s not. Listen. Because it’s blocked. Now it’s risen.

So, basically, from the soul, when consciousness comes out, it comes out through the mind. And when the mind is distracted, what happens is the consciousness goes off with the mind. It doesn’t feel completely with the mind. It gets split. So maybe majority of the consciousness go this way, and little of the consciousness goes.

So for example, during the talk, the mind goes for a walk. If there’s some movement, the mind talks running like, hey. What is the joke? I also wanna do. So it’s not that it’s completely gone.

There’s a little bit of consciousness that is there, but often the consciousness gets split between the mind and the body. Sometimes when we are talking with people, you see their eyes are glazing. Earth do you earth do you come back? Which plan? Which plan are we going?

Which plan are we going? So this is absent mindedness of the stretch. So the mind is not where the ball was. So the mind is restless, and it just slips off so off. Now how why does the mind slip off?

Why do you think this is the mind of stress? Yes. Correct. Yes. It is true.

The mind is at stress because of two reasons. That the mind always do two things. It’s answered. They’re called as Sankalpa critical, accepting and checking. So normally speaking, the mind goes towards that which it feels is enjoyable, and it goes away.

It goes toward that is enjoyable. Something is enjoyable, it outward that. And if something is boring or the mind thinks it is boring, then the mind will refuse to go. Now sometimes, here, it come the dark and thick forceful light. It was a little bit clear in this dimension.

So quite often, the mind thinks that what we are normally dealing with is not so interesting. It may be important. It may even be interesting, but the mind has its own conceptions of what is interesting and what is not interest. That’s why the mind won’t absorb. Be sure its conceptions.

So it is restless because it has its own conception of what is attracting and not. And it’s well, if you wanna deal with the mind’s restlessness, the prayers that are the oldest, we want Krishna’s attractiveness. Then if Krishna reveals his attractiveness, then we get attracted and focus. So Krishna is attractive even now. But unfortunately, the mind does not find it.

And the reason for that is there are many difficulties in the mind. So we could use different examples for this. For the rest of this, the standard example is of a child. Yesterday, we talked about a child who’s caring. The mind is mother has to comfort the child.

But the mother tells child is a little struggle. And the child is around and starts to, mess of things. Mother has controls itself. The, the parents say, okay. You please you play, but play in our courtyard.

Don’t. And the child says, Then the restless mind the restless child has to occur. However, curbing is not enough. It is the responsibility of parents also trying to provide the child something interest to do So that not maybe you’re seeing a lot more years. So we do need to use force, but it is not just force.

It is also that we need to recognize that we have to provide something engaged. So bring to Krishna. Krishna, please. We will talk about Krishna. But broadly speaking, when the mind is less, it has to be refocused.

And this is the first problem in the mind which irritable experiences. And now the problem with the greed can actually become worse and worse. So the problematic mind that the mind is restless is a problem, but we could say it is the least of the problems posed by to be distracted is bad. But beyond that, Krishna says this, means it’s mad. It’s irrational.

The way I put it here is it’s remonseless. Oh, any of the ladies who like to move this? Do we have monk? The white is also Yes. You can stop So, basically, as I said, restlessness is a problem.

But sometimes, if, say, somebody who’s a little older, they’re fiddling around. They’re maybe fiddling. It’s a important session. We need to focus on this. Pay attention.

Now sometimes it can reason the children. Sometimes it’s very difficult to reason the children. One of the aspects of raising children has been grow is that initially, you may have been struck. They said, I do this and do this, but they actually as they grow up to go to reason that because they are also developing their intelligence. And their intelligence may be immature right now.

They may not go to see things the way we see things. But still, we need to reason with them. And sometimes it’s very frustrating when the person is just not reasonable. We are trying to make a a reasonable case. Okay.

This you can do this later. But it just is not not less. And dealing with other reasonable people becomes difficult if not impossible. So the mind’s second problem is that it can be reasonless. Now what does reasonless mean?

That restlessness is fickle, but reasonless is, say, if if a student if a student would call him, stay in the hospital. And somebody comes and says, let’s go watch TV. Yeah. Let’s go watch TV. What’s on there?

Friend is this. So what it means is, generally, one way to reason. Reasoning has many aspects to it. But one aspect of this thing is to show the relationship between choices and consequences. Many times when the mind is fickle, it just not realize the gravity of the choices moving.

So sometimes we need to reason with the word. Okay. You don’t want to know this right now. This is important. They we all in in a class, Suddenly, our phone needs to start looking at the class.

Well, that’s a little distracting, but if you’re driving in a crowded home in the school area, and there are four weeks to start looking at the that when the kid comes along the way, The consequence could be disastrous. So when generally, reasoning involves two things. She providing children that deal between choices and consequences. That’s one has many aspects. But then how a particular choice will lead to particular consequence.

Showing that is a. And the second is showing the stakes. What is that stake over it? Okay? This consequence cannot land.

If I don’t do any of this to examine, what was the big deal? Are you himself here? So the choice is see the link between the causality and the because the choice and consequences is the principle of causality. That causes will lead to results, and stakes are the costs. What is going to happen?

How this will lead to this? Many times we explain, it becomes possible. Say, if somebody says, I I just can’t be operated. Values are changing quite a bit in America. One Day only.

It is about show shift, from a movie made in So that day? That it is that it is as weird as being a communist or at that time being a homosexual. It’s completely new, but now values have changed. I think the reasons are there. Health reasons are there.

Ecological reasons are there. So the point is somebody say, I just can’t give a mood. I just need to eat it. But then since then, suppose they had a money back. And the doctor says, if you don’t give up meat, then life will give you all.

Oh, what is this? Just forget it. I like meat, but I like living much more. So sometimes when we realize what’s in stake, when you’re in the forceful way, then it they said no. But there are times when the mind becomes so detached that the reasoning just does not see that so that is there is this whole phenomena called addiction.

Now addiction, nowadays, it is very casually used that that is, oh, I’m addicted to my phone or my child is addicted to the screen. And, yes, we could use it in that way. That that’s a nontechnical way of using it. More technical way of using the word leaderships that at one level, that three season addiction, that there is a craving. Not just a craving, but there’s a constant craving.

I don’t know what I do. I do it. I do it. I do it. There’s something inside.

Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. Now we may have craving for many things, but there is, with respect to this, control.

There is lack of control. Now all of us may crave for many things. We may crave to eat delicious food, but many of us will not go and rob a house to eat, rob a house, I will shop to eat. If not, there is somebody else in India to speak for their meal. We all have a sense of what is.

So what happens is there is the collapse of control. Then there’s a collapse of control. So generally speaking, everybody has a sense of boundaries in their life. You all may get angry, but when we get angry, we may yell at someone. We may use some swear words.

Each of these are words, it’s probably the knife, some of the medium correction. But most people don’t know that. So when there’s a reaction, there is a collapse of conflict. And then so creating is the first feature, the collapse of primordial selection feature, and the third feature is associate with consequences. That there is there is continuation in spite of consequences.

Continuation in spite of consequences. Even when a person suffers from the hostel, somebody drinks a lot, and when they drink, they they suffer when they they get some trouble to see them back in the hospital. The doctor says, if you don’t stop drinking, you’ll die. And the person’s, like, you said, I have. At least, they die happy.

So what happens over here is these three, basically, are the characteristics where something has become a. There is clearly we stand. We don’t have any peace of mind. Think of anything. So to put it diagrammatically, we consider that there is the soul, there is the mind, there is the body.

And say there is the world out here. So soul, mind, body, and world. So now craving is like an impression in the mind. This is this is craving. So we all have experienced grieving at that.

It just strips our peace of mind. It’s just it’s all we feel as if we are being tormented from within. Now when there’s collapse of control, we may create for many things, but then when there is action, when things go from the level of the mind to the level of the body in terms of action, that is where there is a collapse. The latency, somebody is alcoholic. Many people may drink when the middle is okay in a party in the end of the day and lead time.

Even among people who drink, if somebody starts to be right early in the morning or then you need they need to order to drink. Yeah. After that, so there’s a collapse of control. So the person it it goes from the mental level to the physical level. Now sometimes we can get away with whatever we do, but sometimes what happens is from the world, there are consequences that come up on us.

From the world, consequences come upon us. At even though the consequences come, the consequences can be severe. The consequences can get hit the body. The consequences can hit the mind also. But in spite of that, the continuation is still continuing.

So then the consequences, they don’t have an impact. Continuation in spite of consequences. Consequences are neglect. Like, some people, what they do is they get caught and they get in trouble. They think that, oh, you know, last time I just didn’t do it right.

No. There’s no need to know doing certain things. You just destroy it. So the mind can sometimes go on reasons. Reason lessons where the creative is very strong, then the indulgence in the physical level happens.

And even if you get into trouble, still you wanna have it forget. You don’t have to list. So almost like we have selective ambition. When we forget the trouble we got into previous, we keep in touch. So this is where the mind becomes underneath.

And now what do we do with such things? It is it is our own mechanism just does not work. So we have to pray to Krishna Krishna. You help me. You help my mind to see some reason.

Sometimes that reason may just come the most serious consequences. Sometimes somebody use a very serious analysis and it’s like this. So somehow, it we are very sure that that my listening faculty activates, and then I can see this. So this is where the mind becomes from reasonness. It’s coming.

Okay. See, I’m using a minimalist model over here. Minimalist model means what? At the three levels of existence. The so the soul, mind, and both.

Now I could go into intelligence. It’s like I yesterday, I used the example of the they use the example of solely, like, the if you consider computer system, the solely that the user, the body and the hardware, the mind and the soft. Now at the software level, you can have a virus. At the software level, you can have essential programs. At the software level, you can also have antivirus.

So the viruses, if you consider, the subtle level, where there are at the subtle level, there’s the mind looking. Naha. I’m just using the word short line mind because Krishna uses many places. Krishna says elevate yourself with your mind. Don’t kill yourself.

Krishna now says elevate yourself or elevate your mind with your intelligence. Don’t let your mind be degraded by your mind. He’s just using me and me and my mind. So I’m keeping it simple. So in the subtle mind, there is it’s like if you consider mind to be the software.

Let me put software. Doesn’t matter if you have software. So within the software, there would be the software that is on a positive side. There is essential software. We need for our function.

Any device for function needs essential software. Then there is protective software. And then there is there is dangerous software. These are more like viruses. So dangerous software are viruses.

And what it will be the antivirus. So now all of these, at one level, are software. Is it all of this is software? So like that, there are impurities. There are clambas.

These are like the negative of slanting harness. Now for our essential machine, we all have learned a lot of tricks. You could call it intelligence, but it is more than intelligence. It is it is what is intelligence, but it is something that’s not so deeply inside us. You could call it as both of these are intelligence.

They’re all software only, but there is there is something called instinctive intelligence. Instinctive intelligence means if my hand touches fire. I’m gonna consciously think of my intelligence immediately the hand itself. So for all of us, we there are many areas where we do the right thing without necessarily needing to think about it. So that’s instantaneous.

That that that there’s a big program that is necessary for function for us. If we come into a room that is dark, light is turned on. The light is very clear. Immediately our eyes are open. Don’t think about it.

So instinctively is there. And then there is there is a reflective intelligence. Now when you talk about developing our intelligence, it can look for both of these. The reflective intelligence as well as the the inputs institutes. So, basically, all of these are the subtle and softwares.

So I hope it’s sufficiently complicated. K? So now now, the mind can mean this. I don’t know what reason is. Let’s move the third part of the mind.

And after that is let’s go ahead. Beyond that, my lord. Would you like to read any other mantras? Yes, please. So mind can be merciless.

A lot of. So what do we mean that in the, mind can be merciless? There’s, I have a friend in Australia. He’s a emergency doctor. So once I have time, he And then it didn’t expect a nothing was working.

It just ended so much. The entire element cannot work. So now, there is some pleasure needed. But after some time, what happens is there is no pleasure at all, but still it’s as if we are held by something and forced to do something. We don’t even want to do it, and we keep doing it again and again.

Initially, you will say whenever we indulge or Somebody eats a lot, something drinks. There is some pleasure. But the pleasure has a diminishing returns. Like, we’ve asked for some time, the pleasure disappears. This is a it’s a very important point to understand in learning to fight the mind that if you consider when there is indulgence.

And indulgence means when we indulge in some activity, we train, we eat. Now initially, there is some pleasure. Sometimes the indulgence does not give us pleasure. All it gives us is relief. That means pleasure means doing it makes me happy.

The relief means not doing it keeps me unhappy or keeps me in doubt. It’s not that doing it makes me happy. It’s just that not doing it makes me so miserable that I have to. So this way, even when the pleasure stops, still it’s remain, it’s keep doing it. So this is where so are we talking about addiction?

This is where the consequences are coming. It’s not in the consequences that come in the future. Consequences have come, but still, it seems as if something inside us is holding the link like this. So, actually, this is the scared part of the mind. The rest of us is annoying.

It’s failing. This is when the mind becomes scared. Of course, the mind is not vulnerable like this. In some areas, especially when the attachments are strong and you’re gonna do that a lot, the mind can be doing these things. So let’s look at the last part and then we’ll get the solution.

Yeah. And then my dog might be the lectures. Even if I see no words to positions again in me, they keep coming. Like, waves in the ocean, Yes. It’s a I’m not saying okay.

It’s like some there are some things you want to do now, like, it’s like one and done. I do it once I have it. Some indulgences just keep coming again and again and again. There’s a British, playwright, Oscar Wilde. He said that getting up smoking is the easiest thing in the world.

I have done it over a hundred. I mean, so I gave okay. But smoking not giving up. So it’s like, we use the key. Come on.

Keep. Come on. Again and again. Somebody fight the battle and say, no. I lost this battle.

There’s only another battle. There’s only another battle. So now what do we do? Only you can get my money here. Okay.

We’ll just discuss solution. Last part, we’ll let you be. Yes. Yes, please. I it’s not the temptation.

Yes. So now when the mind is relentless in this way, it is it’s extremely difficult to actually deal with it. Thankfully, while it is the end, what do we do for dealing with the mind? I’ll just ask this question, and Krishna will answer the next words. And that’s where I was talking about something yesterday.

I talked about having the doctor patient needs to understand that this is seriously, and then they’ll bring the cure seriously. So what is the cure over here? Yes. We need to control the mood, but it is not just control the mind. Basically, for us, when the mind wants to go in a particular direction, and we know this, the push it in some other direction.

So in spiritual growth in total management, there are two principles for us. There is the push principle, and there is the pull principle. So there can be no push, which is the negative side of the x axis, and no pull. Maybe the negative side of the other y axis. So push is be from our side are trying to direct the mind in an energy direction.

It is that God helps those who help themselves. The door to change can only be opened from inside. If somebody doesn’t want to change, only can help. So the push principle is very important from our side to to make influence. So what is the input that we make?

That’s the mind is basically like a machine. It is an academy. It’s a software. So it’s a mess goes off and bring it back, goes off, bring it back, goes off and bring it back. It’s simple programming of the mind.

So when we keep bringing it back, the mind is just programmed. So last year, I had to mind taking this exam that is we did for this. Have any of you heard of this small thing in India? So now suppose somebody has visited a website called polygon.com. Now maybe they visited 10 times, 20 times, and they come for a spiritual talk like this.

And then they hear about the Bhagavad Gita. When they hear all the Bhagavad Gita’s scale, Google and Google and Google Bhagavad Gita. They open their browser and start typing the you know what happens? Pollywood. Pollywood comes.

Pollywood. Now why is that coming? It’s frequently listed. Yeah. Because it’s stored in the history.

Now the device in the software is not against us. Can you do this? Maybe this is what you want to do and make it easier. But in this case, all that needs to be done is just focus on typing a given Gita. And this typing the all the 12 letters It seemed like typing all the rest.

Just just press enter. It’s gone. So for some people, they type b and then volume.com comes. For some people, volume.com is not just auto complete, that is their home page. So but then in the state where somebody adding trash to the makeup, that’s what comes in there.

We had more come to that. That’s coming there. But all it needs to be done is just visiting, say, bhagul.com. If someone keeps visiting, gradually, what happens? That will be so good in the history.

In future, we’ll time be, but we cannot come also. So there is when you wanna wanna control the mind, there is there are two things to it. One is reprogramming the mind. Now reprogramming is our human endeavor, and this is what we need to do. We need to keep okay.

Mine goes off, bring it back. Goes off, bring it back. And you say, what is the use? It will even if I bring it back, it will go. Doesn’t matter.

The point is that each time you bring it back, a new bridge is great. Each time there is a new logo there on the call, a record is made in the browser history. The reprogramming is one aspect of it. The other is the reformatting. Now reformatting means just delete the browser.

Reformat the complete device. We delete the browser history, whatever it is. Basically, we have removed from history. There is no format button for our heart. At least there’s no button in our hands.

This is where divine grace comes. By the mercy of Krishna, he can format our mind. When he formats our mind, then what happens is, so you don’t think they just not come. Out. That is where the mercy factor comes.

And Krishna later in the fifteenth chapter says, I want you to remember this knowledge and forgetfulness. Now how does Krishna remember this knowledge and forgetfulness? It ultimately depends on our desire. So I’ll do points here and I’ll do this. How is that?

What point over here? See, push is basically we are trying to reprogram. It’s a reprogram the mind. Reprogram means keep doing the same thing again and again and again. That is what we need to do again.

That is important. And it can lead to change also. It’s not that it is of, and it is other person. It is important to us, and this is where sometimes we devalue small steps. Sometimes we think that one of my friends was in India.

He said in January, he was in India. He said that he’s from America, and he said, I had to go back to America by Feb. He’d come on vacation. He says, then in special Feb, he says, in Feb, my business is very good. I said to him, what is your business?

So he said he was a therapist. He said, okay. What about what is therapy? His business got to Feb. So he said that in jab and the emails comes, people make a lot of new resolutions.

And the secret was sometimes for one week, two week, three weeks. By the time fed comes, they failed in most of their resolutions, and they become depressed. And that’s where they so now what happens with this strategy is your risk, but it’s tragic also. The point is that many times when we make a resolution, we think if I can’t if I have failed to stick to the resolution, I have failed. But but see, can you stop for stuck with for one week?

You stuck with for one month. That’s a good thing. That much new programming has happened in the mind, and that is a valuable thing. That’s why especially if there are behaviors which we are not doing change for a lot, don’t try to make a resolution. I will never do this again for the rest of life.

And the mind will say so you have the rest of your life to stick to that resume. It does right collapse. So just make a time zone resolutions. Because what happens is if you make a long resolution, then there is no success in that. There’s only the fear of.

Even if you stick to a resolution of three sixty five days, on the three sixty six days, we remember labs, all of you die. You look at what we deal for three sixty five days. So the key in this push part is that again. So in the push part, the key is that don’t be value. Small, simple steps.

This is a very practical principle, but we often just neglect making changes because I have not understood it. It’s a matter of a mistake. Even if you don’t stick the change, some part of that change will stick to us. That will be there inside us as a. For some people, changes are getting easy.

Say, for example, somebody has visited bollywood.com 10 times, and they visit bollywood.com 10 times, then that is said that earlier might not come as complete. For somebody, they may have visited Bollywood.com 10 thousand times. And then visit it in ten ten by not beginning to. But it’s still making me dead. It’s just not a blessing.

So don’t defend it. Just keep doing it. Keep doing what we do is good. So this is the push principle. The follow-up, all of it by the push and pull out the stupid principles.

The push principle is something which we need to do to show Krishna that I have the fullness. He said Krishna want to reformat the brain, reformat the mind. Unless he sees that he want to format. So, Krishna, so the second part is where we can see how the whole principle works. The whole principle is that Krishna says, I am the giver of three things.

What is this? Remembrance. Krishna says, I give you remembrance. I also give you forgetfulness. And Krishna says, I give knowledge.

So suppose somebody has been drunk a lot, and they had a terrible hangover. And the next day, they go to party and they’ll see drink. Now they can remember the hangover and say, no. I don’t want drink. Or they can remember the high they had over the lower side.

Yeah. I wanna drink. So what we remember and what we forget, we’ll determine what choices we make. So for all of us, quite often that these are almost automatic sense of memory bubble up its size. And certain memories just don’t so what this is Krishna give remembrance and, forgetfulness is dependent on our desires.

But it is not just our desires. Now desires can themselves be into categories. That is what we want It’s important. No doubt. But there is also what we want to want.

What we want to want. K. What I want is there’s one of them. I wanna look at something on that one. I want to go on this.

K. I have to focus. I would have done some of these new things. I’m learning new skill. I wouldn’t be.

So for all of us, desires also. If if we can be what I want to want as stronger, could I see that? It may not be that. All the time is a little stronger. Krishna is Krishna.

So what does beautification mean? This push and pull principle is see, this is the earth, and there is some small object over here. Just trying to escape that gravity pull of the earth. Maybe there’s some kind of a rocket that’s going out. Now there is the gravity pull of the earth, which will keep it inside.

This is the earth as the. And if it has to go, there’s a lot of pushing. Without that, it not work. Now suppose there is an object. So this is the birth.

Let’s put it this way. This is the earth, and this is its gravity. And say, this is some celestial object. There’s some celestial object, and it has it described. Now if an object comes over here, and what will happen is if an object comes over here, then it will experience a pull.

And that pull will draw the object. So now this is the two different types. So if there are certain areas where the push is pulling and getting it down. No. It pulled down, so we need a push shift.

But there are certain areas where the pull, it pulls in particular direction. So for example, this is some kind of Maya. This is some kind of temptation. There’s some kind of things that drives us up. This is Krishna.

So we all find that there are certain areas where Krishna also is about an alcoholic, and they wanna give a check. They say, I have a job at the bar, on my house right next to a bar. And then we know bar for them to go to the bar. So what happens is that they’re already putting themselves in the gravity. But suppose somebody comes to spiritual days, somebody comes to ten minutes, when it comes to wheels where there are people who are all trying to move by hand and symbols.

What happens is they feel. So Krishna is the ultimate exerciser. And while these two are the still pieces fortunate for us, if you forget everything, you’ll just remember this image of precision. Then this is the Earth. This is the Earth’s gravity pull.

There are places in the world where Krishna comes so close that Krishna’s gravity pull is felt even when we are the earth has not become. So this is the places where the where Krishna’s gravity pull, that means Krishna’s mercy is visible at various places. When that happens, then okay. There is we need to push from our side, but there is also a pull from above. And the push from outside and the pull from above, both of these, they mentioned again the store.

And then they experience the pull. Then after that, if there is the effort just quickly disappears. Certain attachment is just fall off. So we will need to control the mind, but our focus is not to control. It is controlling the mind often.

We may come one place where it’s just so sublime. Let me not do let me forget. Yes. There is a there are places if we go to where we come to a place, it’s very. Much of the agitation of the mind disappears.

So for us, the more we can put ourselves in the granting perfection, and remember Krishna. So what does remember Krishna mean? It is by trying to remember Krishna, by trying to invoke by trying to evoke Krishna’s presence. So it’s what we’re trying to do is we’re trying to put ourselves in Krishna’s hierarchy. They put us in Krishna’s that’s when the meeting is.

That’s the time when the middle water stops. That’s the time when we get so much clarity and so much focus. That’s the time. Even if one of our attachments, one of our discoveries, we will find that each one of us will be able to focus so much more everything that we do. Most of us, like, is not the machine.

It’s like saying, we are trying to drive away in a particular direction, And it’s like there is a huge boulder stuck to us. And the boulder stopping us, most of the time, we are maybe if our force is hundred, the boulders force 90, and then most of us may be up to 10%. So much of our consciousness is dissipated in the mind being restless, relentless, resentlessness. Of course, sometimes it happens that our forces will break, and the mind’s force is 300. And then we end up going in the opposite direction we want.

But all of us, we all achieve something in our life. It’s matter to see the opposite. If imagine at work we had 10% of our own capacity, we have achieved so much. If the inner opposition, say, decreased from 90 and became 10, Then how much more each one of us will be doing in every area of our life? That is the issue that Krishna offers.

That is the opportunity. It is there for each one of us. Similar things where I discussed during, all my mind. So with analytic, but I assume support mind that you need to do a new problem, what happens to us. So we talked about today controlling the mind.

What do you mean? Now why do we need to control the mind? We talked about the thought. The problem was in terms of four hours. What are the four hours in remembrance?

What are the first? Restless. So restless means that the soul is here, the body is here, but the mind has gone somewhere else. That is the mind is then after that was reasonless. Normally, whenever we tell either the the causality, and this will lead to this, or we tell the costs.

The mind listens, but sometimes it just isn’t. Now maybe the reason is, everybody has service as a bottleneck. If I do something terrible, but it’s enough. I mean, sometimes people go work gambling. They take some money with them, and they spend all the money.

But sometimes they gamble only what they, they take out the other bag and they put their house on board mortgage. So it is what happens is it is ruthless. Homeless means it does not spare anything at all, and that’s where it did come straight in the last words. Relentless. It does not just happens one time, but it happens again and again to be.

So here we discussed three characters of addiction. What are the characteristics? Three c’s? What are the first main members? Creating.

The craving is it is a consuming craving. It is a yeah. Overpowering craving. And then it’s constant overpowering craving. And the second was yeah, collapse the control is just completely lost.

So there is and everybody has may have craving, but craving can be at the level of the mind. But can do collapse and control because there’s physical intentions. The third was consequences. But even when there are consequences, still what happens? One doesn’t care.

There’s continuation in spite of consequences. And this is where the mind doesn’t just remain distracting. It becomes destructive. And this is a deadly state again. And then we discussed the meaning of this.

We talked about two parts. One was the push pins. The for the push item, the exams a lot. This is like the reprogramming in the pipe. Just keep doing the right thing.

Here, the exam number was more of the software itself. Software don’t devalue small steps. Every single change that we do that has an impact. Even if it doesn’t seem to have an impact. If we make a resolution, we stick to it for one week, that’s a good thing.

That is first part. And the other was the full principle. Full principle means that this is, like, reformatting the mind. Just delete all the past impressions, and this happens by Krishna’s mercy. When we remember Krishna, we are in Mughal’s presence.

So push is like if this is the Earth, the Earth has its gravity too. And if we are on the Earth, then we exert the push from our side. And then there is Krishna love us, and there is Krishna’s gravity pull, which can actually lift us up all the way. So we’ll become Krishna’s force. Each one of us will actually find a miraculous change, but this little battle ceases.

And each one of us, we will find that whereas in the past, we might have been functioning with a significant opposition. You wanna go one way, and something inside us wants to go another way. We’ll find that when you become beautified, the inner opposition will become much lesser. In each one of us, we’ll find that we’ll become more clear, confident, or but also available. My dear lord, please guide me.

I I just offer the bread and the offer. Dear lord, please let me understand how dangerous the mind can be. Help me remember the times when it has been restless or recently less or ruthless or relentless. Let me take this in me series. Kind of meet my hope, my lord.

You can help me completely change my mind if I just show you that I want my change my mind. And this control of this way, it could be done to me. My dear lord My dear lord. Even when I feel Feel what when I’m saying? I that I can’t control my mind.

I got I’m sorry. Let me remember that you can do what my can do. Alright. If I just show you I just show you. The desire The desire.

Daughter. Any quick questions or moments? Yeah. I have a problem with the other questions or comment. Thank you so much for coming in.

Thank you, Madhaj. The question is So, see, the Bhagavathons has a good for a minute, but if we take each other out of Krishna’s note of speak, then our vast ocean becomes as small as the water contained in the middle of the field of a calf. So what is it that which is impossible for us that becomes possible, Panch? Yes. It is that’s why I think the line you are being discouraged.

But if we use our power as a means to show Christian, call upon Christian to intervene with this forward. There is a very reason for us to move. Right. The question is in the same chapter, Krishna talks about once it That different I’ll talk about two ways to understand that it. Just look at this.

See, one has practice the human soft, for example. The word practice sometimes may not convey the point of it. What does it be? It actually persists. We need to persist in what we are doing.

We’re going back to the going back to the, software, but then just keep this in the middle of the call. And then detachment. Now detachment, again, it seems to be in emotion. I I can’t be that right. What do I do?

So that means abstinence. So abstinence means just don’t visit Bollywood. So now if we keep visiting the right side, don’t keep visiting the wrong zone. What happens? That eventually, we will come to the level of transcendence to both of these.

So the mind will change those persistence and absence together with these transmittance. That’s why I think that act. Maybe there’s an act way to transcend it. It gets shown on the mind’s pulse. Just persistence.

Transcend. Abstinence. Now we another way to understand Abias and Veda case is similar to the push mode principle only. But for all of us, there are boundaries which we need to set up, and there are bonds which we use. So boundaries means what I want.

So boundaries is broadly something to help us assist in abstinence. That means if somebody says that I’m I’m not on a recall path. Then they had to create some physical bond. Don’t stay at a call bar. If somebody said, I don’t wanna use my device so much.

I don’t wanna spend so much time social media. Maybe you just block some apps. I mean, the regular have something to that. We’re not allowed to spend so so much time. So we don’t have to rely all the time moving forward.

We can create some more. And similarly for persistence, we can create some points. So persistence means that if we decide that, I want to send the. That’s a good thing. But you say if you join some online news where there is we are paying some money, we’re committing ourselves.

They say in one year, I’ll complete this. So we can make a financial bond. We can make a social bond. I joined this course and I’ll be in one year. So we create some kind of bond for us.

We make it easier for us to persist. So if you want to do our more meditations, then you know, do our meditations every day in the morning or, on the channeling, then maybe, you know, have some kind of a online group. If you can’t meet physically or chanting, meet digitally. At least for some time and do the ones who are chanting together. That’s a command.

Or we have one side group where we share with each other what time we did our chanting. Or if you want to read the. Now maybe just fix the time when two people come together and read together for a few minutes. I’ve seen I know one girl. Where is it to be?

I’m Travis also. They said that this way, they read the Bhagavat, the minimum of fifteen months. And they within within two years, they completed the entire Bhagavat. They didn’t discuss it too. Just read it.

So they they would see all the purpose of that simple person doing this. So that is just a little more. So bonds and bonds are very helpful in helping the aim and sharing that the transform of the mind becomes easier. So now another way to connect the toppings, the boundaries, and what our mind may tend to go outside the boundaries. So stay within because stay within the boundaries, we need to push ourselves.

Don’t do our or the push now is the outward. We had to push ourselves to stay within the boundaries. And through the bonds, this is where we can invoke the world. It’s not that the will come automatically, but we can invoke the push, bring the earth to Krishna’s presence and Krishna to us. So that’s how we can improve that.

K? Thank you. Can you ask if stop? Yes. It is.

So See, because not the monopoly of any particular tradition. Nor does nor is God’s message available only through a particular book. Through certain books, we may get more clarity. Through certain traditions, we may have certain resources, which we we may find more beneficial than others. At the same time, one element to reality calls us in different it provides different parts.

So in every tradition, there’s some understanding that there is something like a inner entity. So in the Christian tradition, there is the idea of system. In the Islamic tradition, there is. In Star Wars, there’s a dark force on the dark side. Even in even in what you call as a fiction, that is there.

See, nowadays, I think people say that I have got other deals. No. They do not believe in people. They believe in their deals. It likes the fact is, we may or may not believe in Krishna, but we cannot go through life for a long time without coming to believe in Maya.

We may not use the word Maya, but that there is something inside me that works against that is something that everyone realizes. It’s actually most of the world. This was actually one of the reasons what what is spirituality. Is that if you consider the path of life, we all want there are certain doors. If they open, then on then the door is open, then we can have better and better life.

So those could be in education, employment, migration, whatever. We all want to we want the doors to be open so that we can have a better life. And that is important, and that is what most people focus on. But, actually, this is what my personal, so I have fun studying, achieve a lot. I did not really feel an interest in power and well, when I talk to education, I go to kids and not make them make sense for discovery, but share with others and help others.

But since my childhood, I had a bit of a temper. I had a bad level of slight problem, But I had another problem, which did not feel like a book. Since which I don’t I had a lot of interesting words. So one of my hobbies, I just pick up a word and pick up a dictionary, memorizing words. So I had a good vocabulary.

And as you get amazed, that a bad tempo and a good vocabulary is a technical competition. Also articulated, now they can just be so sarcastic. They can cut. They can actually cause more that will ask of. So we see somehow this picture formed in the night.

Like, you know, if there are they’re going along the path of life, there are also trapped doors. And we can just fall in those terms. So this just as it’s important to open these doors, it’s just as important to close the trapdoors. So, most of us, we may or may not believe that there is a God, but we all stumble on some trapdoor in the wall. There’s something inside which is dragging it down.

And at that time, we just start thinking about, is there a speed like that? Is there something bigger that can help you to fight against this? So I’m coming back to the same thing that, you know, there’s a take the decision seriously and take that in your sense. So for us, there is something bigger than me, which is inside, which is working against me, which seems to be out of this. And the question is, will I become big enough to fight against the devil coming?

Or is there something bigger than this which I can connect with? And by that, I can. So if we can initiate this idea that we have inner demons. That that is there. That’s just a part of universal human wisdom.

But then, okay, to combat these inner demons, are they? Is there a inner divinity? Is there a divinity that we need to do? So I would say the specifics may not be there in various traditions, but the broad principles of the need to fight against the inner demons and take and and take a course of some limited that can help us to fight against. That is very much.

Okay. So thank you very much for your proper questions and for your participation. Stay in and me.
