( Karne mein Saavdhaan, Hone mein Prasanna )
Shree Hari
Therefore Arjuna asked -
"Atha ken prayuktoyam paapam charati purushah | Anicchannapi…" Even though a man does not want, why does he commit sinful acts? God said - "kaamesh" - This desire that, I should get this, I should not get this, this should happen, this should not happen - this is the inertness of all sins and futility. Desire is also that I get a voluptuous woman, get lots of money (gold) and I get name and fame. However, at the heart of desire is that whatever is favorable to me, that should happen and whatever is not favorable to me, that should not happen.
As long as desire remains, till then man remains dependent, he remains subordinate. Man is entirely independent in holding on to or letting go of this desire.
Indriyasyeindriyasyaarthe raagdveshshou vyavasthithou |
Tayorna vashmaagacchetou hyasya paripanthinou || (Gita 3/34)
"Attachment and aversion of man abide in each and every sense-object, through the feeling of agreeableness or disagreeableness towards its senses."
If you come under the sway of attraction and aversion, then those likes and dislikes will gain strength. But on not coming under the sway of likes and dislikes, attraction and aversion will be wiped out. Thus Lord has said not to come under the sway of attraction and aversion. Consequently, wipe out likes and dislikes and purify the instrument (sense objects).
He has also given another solution - "tvameva sharanam gacch" - The Lord that makes all beings operate, take shelter in Him. On taking shelter, what will happen? God says -
Manmanaa bhava mad bhakto, madhyaajee maam namaskuru | (Gita 9/34, 18/65)
"Fix thy mind on Me, be devotee to Me, worship Me, prostrate thyself before Me."
By doing so, everything will be alright and you will attain only God. Therefore the solution is that if either, get rid of attraction and aversion, and purity the sense objects, or take shelter in the Lord.
Therefore as long as a being (jeev) having pride of doership does work according to his wishes, then he will have to bare the consequences of his actions and he will have to suffer.
Therefore we have to think that what we do is being done by God's inspiration, is false. Whatever type of work we do, accordingly we will have to bear the consequences. I t is God's ordinance that as you do, so you shall reap. Therefore one must be always very careful in doing and one must remain happy in the outcome (that which happens), that all happens in accordance to my very own Lord.
Narayana ! Narayana !! Narayana !!!
