Bhagavad Gita: Karma with God consciousness, chap.5
Krishna says –
- Karma with devotion to God (right brain) is the best.
- A person who is unaffected by the results: neither hates nor attach to results; who is out of duality, s/he is free from worldly shackles.
- Fools differentiate between the devotion and analytical knowledge, but wise says: one, who follows any path, gets the same results as the other gives.
- Leaving aside all the karma, nobody can be happy but who is consistent in his/her devotion, soon merges with the God consciousness.
- One, who does karma with devotion, does pure efforts. And, one who controls one’s mind & sense-organs becomes dear to all.
- A Person, who is merged with God consciousness; while watching, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, walking, sleeping and breathing, s/he ever knows, a soul doesn’t do anything. While talking, releasing, taking and opening or closing of eyes, s/he knows that sense organs are doing their work, and a soul is separate from that.
- One merged with God consciousness, when does karma without attachment or greed, s/he is unaffected from untoward consequences, as the lotus flower from the water.
- A Yogi, being unattached, does the karma by the body, mind, intellect and sense organs – just for purity.
- Non-dual devotee gets peace, because s/he is merged with God consciousness, and who is ignorant, always desires and looks for results and, s/he is caught in this layer of ignorance.
- When soul controls the nature (body, sense organs etc), it is living within, and the mind is taken back from the future, then s/he (soul) lives comfortable in the body.
- A soul never creates karma nor provokes karma; all is done by the nature and its elements.
- When mind, intellect, and faith etc. are fixed in God consciousness, then a person becomes pure, and grows to the path of Godhood.
- A person, who has real eyes of knowledge doesn’t differentiate among anybody (scholar, ordinary man, cow, elephant, and dog etc.)
- Whose minds are fixed in non-duality and evenness; they already outgrown from the cycle of birth and death. They are sinless and live in God consciousness.
- One, who sees things behind appearances – doesn’t rejoice when gets desirable things, and doesn’t resent when gets undesirable things. And this person doesn’t fall into temporary sensual indulgence but always live in the stage of equanimity and feels the bliss inside.
- One, who is able to control one’s senses, can live happily in this world.
- One, who feels the bliss inside, and live with this bliss; always looks inside – s/he is a yogi.
- The people, who are out of duality, and whose minds are engaged in getting self-realization; who are benevolent to others, who are sinless – they get the self-realization.
[Note: In Bhagavad Gita, devotion only connotes – devotion to God.]
