...default emotion .(be with 'him' more often)

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

It is the need of the hour, always, anytime, anywhere to understand the scriptures, reflect upon them, pose questions to oneself and also to learned others, and begin applying them in life.

 

Power of knowledge is released ONLY when they are applied.

 

Hope more and more postings on 'gita' will appear in this forum, for it is where 'Bhagavan' is in his full potential-you hear 'him' in first person, 'his' words, 'his' thoughts, 'his' opinions, 'his' suggestions, 'his' views, 'his' jnana, and get to see 'him' as showed hy 'him' 'himself. (alternately be at 'his' place (called 'guruvayur'), before 'him' 24*7)

 

'yatra yogeswaro krishno..... matirmama'.

 

 

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.
