[Music] does not interfere into choices and decisions of the individual soul the jiva and that is what the freedom of ajiva is but jiva out of love devotion and understanding surrenders to sri krishna and says now i will do whatever you will ask me to do now this is an expression of surrender and love it's not like the krishna is the puppeteer and arjuna is saying from now i am your puppet you make me do whatever it's not like that it's more like an expression of love and surrender of arjuna to krishna that i originally don't have any desire to win a war or be a king i am desireless but you say that that's my duty being born as a prince and i owe this to my society and family hence i will do it but now whether i win or lose doesn't makes any difference to me because end of the day all this world is the kshitra and i am the one who is witnessing that and this whole world is my own dream so it and and even in duryodhana it is the same atman and it's the same atma which is in me it's a say matman which is there in you yumam pasti sarvatra salvam chamayi pashati the one who sees one in all is never separated from krishna and krishna is never separated from this person so it's more of like a surrender of disciple to the guru of ajiva to the ishwar i will do as you asked me to do and mind you arjuna never wanted to fight the war but because of sri krishna's understanding which he received he he says that now i will abide to whatever you say when i say that ishwara is not going to inspire or to do any karma neither he will give any fruit of his karma over here i am the word which i have used and even you have written his paramatma paramatma means the absolute truth the brahma so there is no connection in between jiva and brahma but i am talking about the jiva and ishwara so jibai saying i surrender and i bow and i'll do whatever you say so krishna is the ishwara arjuna is the jiva the next statement where i've said that paramatma is not going to interfere or inspire or motivate here i am talking about the brahma the absolute truth i am not talking about the ishwara so don't confuse that when you consider yourself as a jiva obviously there is a ishvara and for ishwara you need to surrender and also listen to what he says he or she whatever you like um so what is desire of ishvara is very well documented in for vedas and upanishads so in other words we can say what upanishads say listen to that and follow that what a sastra says dharma sastra says about our conduct listen to sastras do accordingly you know don't do the papa karma don't do karmas which make you a palmer or be shy right so when we say about paramatma the no interference is neither the giver of any fruit nor is a motivator nor is going to interfere it's an absolute truth the substratum of this universe but when we say ishwara then what is that brahma our reflection into the maya so reflection maya and brahma three components mahabharata so this is everything to do with the jiva hence there is no contradiction it's just more clarity was needed i hope chandragan now you have received it i have a question from gita as it says we shouldn't try to stop our thoughts just watch them is the subconscious mind clearing itself by forming thoughts i appreciate hearing back from you now there is again a little confusion which is there and that is when i say that don't forcefully stop the thoughts because you cannot force your mind to stop when i say allow the thoughts to happen i am not saying that allow the mind to be reckless i am just saying that if you understand that you are not mind and you are the witness of the mind then whatever goes in the mind will not have any impact on you because you have not associated yourself with the mind and thoughts and the emotions and the memories which are there in the mind so if this drastica is clear and i am the drasta the seer of the mind that actually mind loses its potency to be reckless and to be lost and be tamaguni or be rajoguni and be chantala be wavered and wandering the wandering mind is the sign that mind is lost in its stupidities hence when mind is a satwik there would be less thoughts in your mind that's a that's the best sign to check whether your mind is satwik or not if your mind is having a compulsively race of thoughts occurring in your mind then it is a sign that you have a very rajoguny mind so when i say don't try to stop your thoughts forcefully which you will fail to do if you even try to do the mind will give you capital you know the wrestlers have this hook to just lift the body and throw the person on the back to be bachara in hindi we say that so your mind will give you adobe prachar what you do is you just allow the mind to be settled by using the pragya and viveka to do what not to do what's right what's not right what's dharma what's our dharma and where your mind gets lost in anger greed jealousy so you use your knowledge to calm your mind address what is bad in the mind and then not be associated with it that's the way we're slowly the mind will become calm we lose the wish and will to think and run and that will be a natural state of mind but not forcefully induced state of mind if you do it forcefully how long will you hold your mind here and there the mind will jump out and say oh no no more it's like a child a reckless crying child who is stubborn or you cannot make that child you know be calm and there is one way only the child is going gaga and just crying and making noises just ignore the child we'll make a ruckus for some time and then we'll lose that it's not having any impact so why waste your energy children are very smart so once they understand this they'll come down obviously so the very wise mothers wouldn't just run after the child every time the child sobs and cries oh no problem cry cry cry cry for some time mother is not cruel mother is very wise because she knows how long will the child cry will calm down so it's okay these days the mother and father they are so obsessive of their children they won't let the child cry and they will just give them everything everything everything so i'm seeing a 10 year old boy and girl holding a smartphone and busy in the phone and lost in the phone and losing the grip of the real world and then i was just talking to a mother of a 12 year old boy and she said that i found my boy watching a pornographic site 12 years old watching porn so she was asked what to do and and the child won't listen teenage is coming and even before the 13 has happened the porn has happened so i said but wasn't it a little foolish on your part to give a smartphone to your child but because of the covet studies are happening online so children are being provided by parents a phone and then when children are not guided properly they move on to those sites where they shouldn't be and my parents should see that when your child is ready please have some talk about these so called adult stuff in a very regimented and nice way so that the child doesn't gets into pond sites to gain the information so parents really have to be wise enough to you know sitting down with them not hiding this fact of life but now don't begin to talk to a six seven eight year old child about all this stuff the adult stuff but if your child is you know because of circumstances getting attracted to this stuff then don't panic sit with them and let them know that it isn't their time for this and when the right time comes they will obviously they will be very encouraged and motivated to get married or to be in a relationship but 12 13 14 is not the age to be on the pond sides and or to experiment what they saw and there's very pathetic times in this way because children are exposed to this tabooed stuff in a very early ages and that's why just recently there were some rape cases where a minor is raping another minor now that is a i would say and lack of education and lack of guidance on the part of the child and responsibility comes stark on the parents well why would teachers take the responsibility the parents have to be wise enough and to guide them what to do what not to do and not hiding it because if you hide they will get the ways and means to know what the hell you know goes on in a closed room you know they get intrigued about you know why parents are behaving in certain way and they want to know more more very curious so it's duty of parents that in right time uh don't be ashamed if your child is looking at porn don't be ashamed ask him to okay watch in front of me and then explain him all the biology of the male and the female body and also the the the implications of before time if you go into it what will it do to you and how it can hamper your studies and how how you will lose your abilities to learn and explore the world and this is not everything so a very mature conversation should happen so same thing applies to your mind your mind is like that silly child who wants to do the bad stuff i would say bad i would say that which is not recognized or legal so what we do we don't fight with the mind but we make the mind understand this i give you one small example one time there was a 15 year old girl in sheer depression because she had no boyfriend and her all friends in school had a boyfriend so i had a talk with her and end of the talk it was that you know this will be a great destruction you will lose your ability to concentrate on your studies and your sports will be hampered and she wanted to be a baseball player and i said well that that will hamper because you will not be exercising enough you will not be eating enough and you won't be practicing enough and you won't be giving enough time to your studies you will lose on to become a sports person lose on to have a degree and the culmination of your so called boyfriend girlfriend relationship would be you get married and then you get pregnant and then you have a child and you are a child yourself so how will you take care of cleaning grocery washing baby crying baby waking up whole night and you can't sleep you'll have dark circles under your eyes and lose your you know she said no no no no i don't want a boyfriend well thank you very much the parents were very happy and they were you know really really happy and thanking me for making the child understand so same approach please have it with your mind don't forcefully put it into a silent mode it won't go so just be wise enough to see mind is not me and i am the seer the witness of the mind and mind knows the difference in between dharma and our dharma and mind knows what would be the culmination if i go into a dharma and then play playing all the cards in front and then choosing to act wisely so more satvikta more gyan more knowledge means more calm mind and without any effort mind is calm and quiet and without any effort you can then sit in a meditative state for a longer time then reap the fruits of dhyana and have a beautiful life and beautiful mind but never forcing anything allowing it to bloom into silence [Music] you
