Desires ( Fruits of Actions) , Destroy our Mental Peace .

[Guest guest]

Pranams to Bhagavan Sri Krishna and His Bhaktas ,

Bhagavad Gita advises us to perform our Prescribed duties with faith leaving it's Fruits to Bhagavan . When one gets addicted to the Fruits of Actions , "Bondage" destroys his mental peace .

Case-1

A Krishna-bhakta Student worships Bhagavan by faithfully performing his prescribed duty of * Studying to the best of his ability without worrying about the Marks* . He dedicates the Marks as offering to Bhagavan . He is always confident and never under any tension . Because, he is 100% sure that *ParthasAradhi* is driving him to Success.

Result : A 70% type student scores 90% Marks .

Case -2

On the contrary , an Atheist student studies looking at the big Marks that could fetch him mouth watering enjoyments . He is always under tension and fear since he alone struggles with the "boring studies" . He is in always in two minds (whether to enjoy life now itself or to postpone it for the time being for bigger enjoyments in future ) .

Result : A 70% type student scores 50% Marks .

Execution of Action , with detachment to it's Fruits

At first , we should evaluate the situation to evolve an action plan of our Prescribed duties . Thereafter, we should implement that Action Plan , as instrument of Sri Krishna who is the enjoyer of it's Fruits . Bhagavan will guide us from within our heart through vicious or indirect *Nimithams* ( symptoms) . This inner voice of Bhagavan, is popularly called as Conscience . In the case of non-devotees , it is just misleading signs of their Karmic-reactions.

When a Person encounters obstacles in life , these are three Options :

 

An Atheist loses all hopes and becomes crazy .

A fake Devotee blames Bhagavan for his problems and loses faith .

An Immature Devotee accepts it as fate and stop trying further .

A true Krishna-Bhakta treats it faithfully as Bhagavan's testing of his skills and tries his level best till the end . He accepts the final result (whatsoever it is) , as Bhagavan's Prasadam . ( If end-Result is positive, Bhagavan has rewarded him . If end-Result is negative, Bhagavan has removed the unavoidable reactions of his past-sins with that token atonement . )

Bhagavan Sri Krishna says in Gita 5.20 :

"One who knows Me the Supreme God, is firmly situated in Me . He has steady intelligence and is never deluded. He neither rejoices upon obtaining something pleasant, nor despairs upon receiving something unpleasant . "

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya !!!
