but impoverished ! kinds of people

[Guest guest]

There are three types of people. The first type of people are ordinary human

beings who do not start the spiritual journey. They are strongly attracted by

this world and these attractions are the qualities accumulated from millions of

births in the soul. Such people are called as Ayukta (Ayuktah Kamakarena

Phalesaktah—Gita).

 

 

 

The second type of people are called as yogis who practice Yoga and who have

not yet completed the training in Yoga. They cannot sacrifice their fruit of the

work to the Lord. They can sacrifice the work, devotion by mind, discussions

with intelligence and any work with senses of their body like singing songs etc

(Kayena Manasa Buddhya—Gita).

 

 

 

The third type of people are called as Yuktas, which means the people who have

finished the training in Yoga. Such people sacrifice the fruit of work also

along with the above (Yuktah Karmaphalam—Gita). The aspects to be achieved by

Yoga are the equal reaction to all types of incidents and the reaction must be

only peaceful undisturbed balance of mind (Sarvatra Samadarsanah, Prasanta

Manasam—Gita).

 

 

Another aspect is not to think of any worldly matter in leisure time. Such

thinking will lead to loss of energy (Nakinchidapi Chintayet—Gita). Another

aspect is to realise the achievement of grace of God as the highest profit in

the life (Yamlabdhva Naparam—Gita). Another aspect of Yoga is to maintain

constant mind even if a mountain of misery falls on you (Na Duhkhe na

Gurunapi—Gita). Another aspect of Yoga is not to have even a single worldly

desire in mind (Nisspruhah Sarvaakamebhyah—Gita). Another aspect of Yoga is to

control the worldly activities to the possible minimum level because if God’s

grace is there, any worldly affair will succeed even with minimum effort

(Yuktacheshtasya—Gita).

My Lord, Your Lordship can easily be realized,

 

"but only by those who are materially exhausted". ('akiJcana-gocaraM')

 

One who is on the path of material progress, trying to improve

himself with respectable lineage, great opulence, high education

and bodily beauty, cannot approach You with sincere feeling.
