HARI AUM

 

On track, off track or right track?? Once alive not a moment of respite

possible, says Bhagavan in Gita-3/5. Predominantly it is one's responsibility to

choose the track. This essentially depends upon one's 'gunas' says Bhagavan in

Gita-3/27. Use Gita to identify the right track (swadharma), and once on track

check the progress and stop not till the GOAL (aum) is reached.

 

Any misstep, says Bhagavan will trigger the process mentioned in Gita-2/63.

 

Give priority in understanding and applying these Gita verses , as 'anger' is

becoming the default emotion to many, these days. Let us not put every blame on

'kali yuga'.

 

Regards

om namo bhagavate vasudevaya !

----------------------------

 

Swadharma

=========

Doing our own duty first is Swardharma .

 

" It is better to do your own duty, however imperfectly, than to

assume the duties of another person, however successfully. " 1

 

Relative existence–and we who find ourselves evolving within it–is

dual in nature, comprised of Consciousness and Energy. Krishna has

just explained to us that our actions must match our energy-nature,

our prakriti. Now he says that our actions, including our livelihood,

must be consistent with our state of conscious, our swabhava.

 

Our swabhava is our inherent psychic disposition, our psychological

nature. It is not just the ebb and flow of our mental and emotional

tides on the surface of the mind, but its bedrock condition that

prevails throughout any momentary fluctuations.

 

That mode of external life which is consistent with our swabhava is

our swadharma, the mode of life and duty that is natural to us, being

based on our karma and samskara. Our swadharma is consistent with our

natural current of evolution. Swabhava and swadharma are the natural

consequences of our present evolutionary status. They both match our

prakriti.

 

Just as external restraint is worthless, so action not according to

swadharma is wasted action and hinders our progress, sometimes even

harming us. Therefore Krishna continues: " Prefer to die doing your

own duty: the duty of another will bring you into great spiritual

danger. " 2 This is no small thing.

 

How do we determine our swadharma? Not by letting others tell us what

it is or letting society impose it on us. (This is the great evil of

the degenerate " caste system " of India which is far from Krishna's

concept when he speaks of caste.) The only way to intelligently

perceive our swadharma is to engage in swadhyaya, self-analysis, as

recommended by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras, thus underlining the

fact that yoga is inseparable from an ordered and meaningful life.

 

This self-analysis is both intellectual and intuitive, and our

intellect and intuition must be developed through meditation if our

endeavor is to succeed. We must discover and live out our swabhava

through our swadharma. This is the only way to peace and harmony

within ourself.

Swami Nirmalananda:
