BHAJA GOVINDAM

STANZA 2

Give up, O fool, your thirst to amass wealth, devote your mind to the thoughts of the Real, let dispassion fill your mind.  Be content with what comes through actions already performed in the past.

If man has lot of wealth, he utilizes it for the pleasures and sense gratifications.  wealth by itself is innocuous.

Adi Shankara wants us to give up the thirst for wealth.

Being in the world, we have to give up only our greed and covetousness.

This mental renunciation at once brings peace of mind and happiness and slowly leads us to immortality.

” Not by rituals, not by progeny, not by wealth, but by renunciation along some attained Immortality.”

kuru sadbuddhim manasi vitrsnam

yallabhase nijakarmopattam

vittam tena vinodaya cittam

…. Bhaja Govindam… Bhaja Govindam….Bhaja Govindam…

From Sri Ramakrishna math

From Delusion to Reality.

EVERY SEEKER OF TRUTH   who cares to achieve self mastery and sense control should carefully read and assimilate the teachings of Sri Adi Shankara.

Self knowledge is vital.  All other forms of knowledge are of secondary importance.  To stress this point to make everyone to understand as who man is so foolish as he is in his conduct and behaviour to give him a real shake up of his values and to show him the path for attaining eternal and inner peace and feel blessed.

Bhaja Govindam has a universal appeal as its meaning goes straight to the heart.

from today lets begin to chant and understand the real meaning behind Bhaja Govindam…

1. Worship Govinda, Worship Govinda, Worship Govinda, O fool… Rules of Grammar will not protect you at the time of death.
2. Man’s lifetime is only for a short period, and before the dissolution of the body he has to find out the technique by which Eternal Freedom can be attained.  He should pay to life only that much attention as is enough to lead a simple and decent life and devote the rest of his time for doing spiritual practice.
3. Remember Sri Krishnas advices to Arjuna….. Therefore at all times, constantly remember Me.
4. Bhaja Govindam,,, Bhaja Govindam,  Bhaja Govindam,  mudhamate
5. samprapte sannihite kale , na hi nahi raksati dukrnkarane……….
6. —-from Delusion to Reality…Swami Gurudasananda…Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai – 600 004.

 

Character is Self restraint.

Self restraint is Self direction

Self direction is concentration.

Concentration when perfect is Samadhi.

From perfect work to perfect mukti.

This is the swing of the soul.

Let us then be perfect in work.

….The Vedanta Kesari. June 2019.

If the poor cannot come to education… Education must go to them.

Swami Vivekananda

I am not the body.

I am different from the body.

I experience  The Truth through this body.

Mind that matters.

If something known to the mind then it affects. If ignorant then no problem.

So keep the mind United with which is Sacred .

Do work. Be workaholic. No problem.  But able to withdraw anytime without any attachment is really matters.
