Guest guest Posted September 7, 2002 Report Share Posted September 7, 2002 Chapter 6 Verse 3 Aarurukshor muner yogam karma kaaranam uchyate / yogaaruudhasya tasyaiva shamah kaaranam uchyate // For the sage, wishing to ascend to yoga, action is said to be the means. For the same sage, when he has mastered the Yoga, serenity (peace of mind) is said to be the means. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 54 >From the discourses of Pujya Sri Swamiji "For the sage, wishing to ascend to yoga, action is said to be the means. For the same sage, when he has mastered the Yoga, serenity (peace of mind) is said to be the means." For the sage seeking to scale the peak of yoga, action is the means. In other words, the sage who struggles to establish himself in the yoga of meditation, action without any selfish motive is the means. Of the same sage who has scaled that peak serenity of peace of mind resulting from withdrawal from all actions is said to be the means. Therefore one wishing to become a yogi should perform actions abandoning the desire for fruit. Thus he should try to purify his mind and make it steady in the thought of God. Then he has established his oneness with God. He does not have anything further to do in the world. Yet he may live and move in the world just to guide those who come to him seeking help. He sees the divine presence in everyone and helps them to become unattached. But he is always serene, calm and peaceful. Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.
