What remains is Nothing!

Q: Rain falls plants come and go, when will there be Nothing?

Sri Sri: It is in the Nothing that rain falls. See for something to fall, if everything is filled then Nothing can fall. Rain falls in the Nothing, plants come in the Nothing and they go into Nothing and what remains is Nothing!

If you didn't understand, then never mind it's Nothing :)

Jai Gurudev!

Discourse on Bhagwad Gita by Guruji on Guru Poornima

Sri Sri:

Actions that are unintended, without effort they are our nature e.g. when we are thirsty, this action is routine and so does not create an impression. Certain actions when we look for result create impressions. So routine is a part of your life and those actions don’t bind you. Example, If you are an expert in your field then the job is effortless. Seva is your nature, service is a part of you, like your breath. Violence is taught in the military, people are being taught to be insensitive, such actions bind us, they cannot set us free.

When your mind is obsessed with too many desires then actions become imperfect, do one thing at a time, be free from feverishness of the mind. Act without expectations, then the actions become perfect and free from blemishes. Otherwise even the best of actions has negative repercussions when done with feverishness. Comparison with one’s own performance is healthy. Being free of jealousy, have an equanimous mind do not think of whether you will succeed or not give your 100% and don’t worry whether you win or lose. Then it is a real game, work is like a game, a yogi considers work as a game. Yogi means one who does little things in perfection due to an equanimous mind. That is YAGYA, it is that action which does not bind you but brings only good to you. Realizing your unity, oneness, is honoring the divine and knowledge.

There are 3 types of YAGYA’s:

1. Deva Puja: Honoring and offering the elements
2. Sangati Karana: Taking all along with you.
3. Dana: Gifting and Honouring.

The whole universe is a YAGYA. All the elements help each other, they are all purifiers. Breath itself is a YAGYA. Meditation and Seva they purify.

Anashudhi: grace before eating, during this time we put one spoon full of ghee on the rice actually according to the nutritionist, digestion takes a little longer with the ghee in the rice and it is better for you.

Dhanushudhi: a portion of your income should be used in charity (money becomes pure when a little percent is put toward charity).

Sound, listening, pranayamas all are Yagya’s. Fasting is also a Yagya. All traditions of the world, note that fasting and prayer are for body cleansing, not for God. Withdrawing the mind from the senses that is Yagya, how beautiful, fresh it feels when you withdraw from the senses.

The wise, does Yagya by transcending to the level of Prana, Prana gets dissolved. In meditation we offer our self. The whole self, universe is Brahman, fire is Brahma, the one who makes an offering into the fire is Brahma in Dravya Yagya (offer 108 herbs) the offering itself is Brahma. When you do Yagya, often the rain comes. Agnihotra is being revived in India again from Peru. Real action of Brahman is Samadhi uniting with the cosmos is Yagya.

Tapo Yagy, sitting together, singing together, listening to knowledge together is all Yagya. All purify the planet. The spirit being uplifted, feeling the support from nature that is Yagya.. One who does not engage in Yagya cannot be happy in this world or the other. There are many different types of Yagya. Take pride in it!

Gyana Yagya is being immersed in knowledge, in self knowledge all action ends in knowledge. When well founded in knowledge delusion does not come. It is good to sit with the enlightened ones, serve them sit with them in knowledge. Then you will not fall into delusion, knowing this you can act.

Jai Gurudev!
