Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Namaste Krishnaji: The Archives at the Website: <http://www.escribe.com/culture/advaitin> is searchable by keyword or title or by author. The Gita Satsang conclusion of chapter 5 contains a lengthy discussion on how to get rid of doership and enjoyership. These discussions are available at the archives. Reference: Swami Dayananda Saraswati' (Acharya of Arsha Vidya Gurukulam) Gita Chapter 5: Concluding Remarks (http://www.escribe.com/culture/advaitin/m8080.html) HOW DOES ONE BECOME A SAGE? How did they become rsis? Once again we find that Krsna gives a complete description of the wise man within the verse itself. First of all, they are ksina-kalmasah, those for whom all impurity, kalmasa is destroyed, ksina. Impurity here means one's raga-dvesas. By living a life of karma-yoga and inquiry, the impurities are gone. They are also described here as sarva-bhuta-hite ratah, those who joyously engage themselves for the good of all beings. This is a very important qualification for the one who wants to gain knowledge. Afterwards, of course, acting in this way becomes natural to the person. Such people observe ahimsa, non-violence, with great alertness and sensitivity. They do not hurt other persons or beings in any way — by word, action, or even by thought. In fact, the vow of ahimsa not to hurt another, is the main vow a person takes when he or she takes to the life of sannyasa. This is why sannyasis give up all competitive activities. For, in order to win or compete in anything, injury to another person or living being is inevitable; it is inherent in competition of any kind. By taking the vow of ahimsa, the sannyasi announces to all beings that they have nothing to fear from him or her. Please visit the mentioned source to get the complete article. I also suggest the new members to first visit the archives and search and read by using key words. This can greatly help you to jot down your questions. You are more than welcome to discuss and raise those discussions that you find confusing. warmest regards, Ram chandran advaitin, Krishna Prasad <rkrishp99> wrote: > Hari OM!

Everything that is not subject is an object - that object includes the body, mind and intellect. All actions are done by these instruments body, mind and intellect. They are not me since I am the subject and they are object. Constant awareness of this fact before, during and after the actions being performed will establish correct understanding of the actual state of affair. But becuase of attachements with our bodies - body mind and intellect, the knowledge is not available. Hence we need to get detached fast. To get detachement one needs to get attached to higher. Hence we need to bring Iswara into picture - That involves Bhakti, karma and j~naana as yoga. To answer your question in a nut shell, we have to become karma, bhatki and j~naana yogins to get complete detachement from the notions that we are doer and enjoyers. Constant study of scriptures, self-less actions, dedication of all actions to the Lord and Love of God which translates to love of all beings and incalcate these one understand the nature of the Lord - etc are all important vehicles and that is what yoga shaastra - Bhagavad Giita is all about.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Namaste, In upadesha-saaram, verse #10, Ramana Maharshi says: hR^it-sthale manaH svasthataa kriyaa- | bhakti-yoga-bodhaaH cha nishchitam.h || [Also refer to Gita 6:25] Merging the mind in the heart-center certainly accomplishes the fruits ofkarma-bhakti-dhyaana-j~naana.
