Today in the breakfast halwa and black gram were made. Right. Now to make halwa what ingredients are required? Tell me. Clarified butter, semolina, sugar, water, & fire. Okay if there is no fire & the rest of the ingredients are there, can we make halwa? So actually it should start with fire. First fire & then a frying Pan, you didn't say that. Then ladle, then a bowl for measuring, right? & then all the other ingredients. Now the thing is that we cook the halwa of gyana, & I'm providing you with everything. I'm giving you the sutra of gyana, I'm giving you the verses & telling you the meaning, to make it interesting I'm providing you with stories & examples. Right? In the frying Pan of your mind I've put all these things. You only had to do one thing, that is to light the fire. If there is no fire of dispassion then halwa can't be cooked. That's why from many... Indrajit, in which year did you meet me? Yes! In 1992. How many years has it been ? Twenty-eight. It has been twenty-eight years & now tell me Indarjit are you an Atmangyani by now? No. See twenty eight years, in Kanpur, I used to stay at their house. Not once, in fact many times. Many times I stayed at Indrajit & Anju's house. Previously when they were in joint family & when they got their separate house. Then in that house in Gobindnagar...many times. In a year, I used to visit Kanpur twice or thrice. Listening from so long, then from TV & then in person. But he says I'm not an Atmangyani yet. Now tell me that, Didn't I give them the complete gyana? Why it didn't happen then? Because of the lack of dispassion, to which we call shat sampatti. Shat sampatti means where the mind is balanced, the senses are controlled, devotion, endurance & proper concentrartion in mind, & calmness of mind. Samadhana means the one who has already experienced the ultimate stage of meditation. So how much yogasadhana that person had done? Winter, summer, hunger, thirst, respect, disrespect, who has all the power to tolerate this, don't discriminate between anyone & when there is no friskiness, suddenness, desires in mind. So the qualities a listener should have... & when the listener do not have those qualities... someone once said to me that, 'if we don't have these qualities, then you should not tell us anything.' Absolutely right. But I said, If I won't tell, then you won't be able to begin with your journey. That's why I know you all are not prepared yet, still I make you listen with the hope that by listening your mind will be encouraged. By associating with wise & listening you will develop your satvaguna. So the properties a disciple should have, the day when it will be completely accomplished, that day the listened gyaan will turn into your experience in no time. But when there is lack of dispassion, the mind which is not completely ready, then the pain which you are feeling now, I'll say it is also a good sign, atleast you're contemplating that we're reading but not able to relish Gita? Arjuna listens & is liberated & then perform his duties. & without worring about victory or defeat or greed he performs his karmas. & after that his son died & after that the five sons of Draupadi died, many things continued to happen & a fierce war took place. Bhim once felt that he will loose as he wasn't able to kill. Sometimes Arjuna vows to burn himself on the pyre... if he was unable to kill this warrior, brother in law of Duryodhan. What type of situations he had to face? But he was able to do all these things, because now his mind, intellect had attained the ultimate state of gyana. That's why being steadfast, Arjuna dealt with all the hard times of his life. Because he was properly prepared. Arjuna also knwon as Gudakesh, conquered his sleep, very prudent & proper concentration. That's why he was Krishna's friend. They were five brothers why only Arjuna was krishna's friends? Why was Arjuna dear to Krishna? He had qualities. So many qualities that... to meet Rukmini, Krishna said Arjuna to disguise as a woman, he never said once that a musculine person like me who is brave, mighty, will disguise as a women? Krishna said once... & he went there disguised as woman. So they've so much love for each other. The love is so deep that, Krishna saw his sister Subhadra's love for Arjuna, he himself coaxed her to elope. & when Arjuna was little hesitant saying how is it possible? So he replied it is okay you don't take her, she will kidnap you. Means he was giving the ideas. There would be so much love in them & definitely he would be having some quality. That's why you've to understand this, that you'll have to become like Arjuna. Disciplined like Arjuna, controller of mind like Arjuna & conquered over sleep like Arjuna, concentration like Arjuna. Do you remember that tale? When Dronacharya said you need to hit the arrow at the bird's eye & asked what do you see? What do you see? & Arjuna was the only one among 105 students, who said that I only see the eye of the bird & nothing else is visible. What concentration that person must be having? That's why do your Sadhana properly. Purification of your Antahkaran is required. On the basis of form, Atman is Bhraman there is nothing you've to do in that. Like the reflection of full moon doesn't form on the dirty & disturbed water, similarly in a disturbed mind you can't see the full moon of gyaan. That's why you need to fix this mind. You focus on that. & when you do Sadhana you should never think that we'll achieve something, it's just like when eat your food, you put one spoon at one time in your mouth & relish it & I've seen people drinking tea & enjoying their sip. what of a human... whatever I offer my dog to eat it shows his excitement by jumping that I'm enjoying it so much. So Sadhana should be done like the way you're really enjoying it. You enjoy doing pranayama & Japa. You feel blissful when practicing tratak or yoga nidra. & when you start feeling blissful everyday, so it's not a burden but a feeling of happiness. So the mind, needs to be rectified. By lighting the fire of dispassion, the sadhan-sampatti also known as Shatsampatti, this should come. If one does not have the strong desire for moksha, what's the use of listening to the gyana? The one who enjoys drinking the bottle of whiskey & eating chicken, will he go to the satsang? The one who enjoys watching a series on OTT platform as someone was telling me about somebody, he started watching in morning & continued all night & the next day at 4am, he switched off his TV. He watched all the episodes in one go as he was so much intoxicated. He said that I'm enjoying it so much. So for fun if someone can sit in the front of TV for 18 hours, so that much enjoyment should be in praying to the lord & doing sadhana. This much joy should be there. It all happens because of this Rajoguni mind. So we have to work on our mind to be Sattvic & that needs efforts & that's where efforts are needed nothing else. Else I'm giving you gyana while speaking & you're listening so what are your efforts? Then too, the gyana you've listened... will not have any conviction, if you'll not put any efforts. So need to do that.
