Bhagawan Krishna says ‘I am telling you these secrets just because you are my devotee and friend, just because you are near and dear to me’
In the next verse, Kṛṣṇa says: sa evāyaṁ mayā te ‘dya yogaḥ proktaḥ purātanaḥ I bhakto ‘si me sakhā ceti rahasyaṁ hy etad uttamam II 4.3 He says, ‘I am telling you about this very ancient science of the ultimate Enlightenment or entering eternal bliss, and being My devotee and my friend, you will understand…

Only an enlightened person who is a king, or a king who is an enlightened person, can know the totality of spirituality.
You need to understand that Kṛṣṇa is just thirty-two years old when He makes this statement! Physically His body is only thirty-two years old. But He says, ‘I gave this imperishable knowledge to Sūrya, the Sun god – imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ proktavān aham avyayam (4.1).’ Of course, this is very difficult to understand! With logic,…

Completion in the present moment is the key to unlocking the mooladhara chakra and dissolving lust. It is only completion that brings you in touch with reality as it is and dissolves your fantasies.
Arjuna then asks Kṛṣṇa why even a centered person is led to commit sinful acts, as if forced by unknown powers. Arjuna’s question is the eternal dilemma of expression or suppression. For example, if you see a beautiful woman and you feel attracted to her, you feel this is not right according to what society…

A leader with the status remains only as a slave. A leader with the state takes the responsibility to create more and more responsible leaders.
Kṛṣṇa talks about the practical aspects of why a leader needs to act in a responsible manner. With responsibility, you experience the space of leadership consciousness, Īśvaratva. Responsibility is thinking, feeling, acting, responding and cognizing from the truth that you are the Source of everything! There is a difference between the state of a leader…

You have never handled the worst possibilities because of preparation. You always handled the worst possibilities because of your completion!
By nature, man has to work. The senses have to be engaged in some action. Even if you try and control them and do nothing externally, the very act of restraint is an action in itself. Kṛṣṇa says very beautifully, ‘By nature, the senses are tuned to be extrovert.’ ‘Extrovert’ is not something negative. Extrovert…

The purpose of all great spiritual practices is for you to become ONE; for you to be complete, integrated!
Kṛṣṇa is giving you the science of creating the right inner space. Let us see how we work, or how our mind moves. In a graph of your being, material life is the horizontal line and spiritual life is the vertical line. You continuously worry about whether to choose the horizontal line or the vertical…

Life is like a river. If you place your hands in the river and keep them open, the river will always be there in your hands. But if you try to hold it, you will have only empty hands!
Please be very clear, again and again Kṛṣṇa declares: karmendriyāṇi saṁyamya ya āste manasā smaran I indriyārthān vimūḍhātmā mithyācāraḥ sa ucyate II 3.6 If you can’t create completion in your inner space, even if you control your body or your senses, you are just a hypocrite. Your life will not be a complete, blissful life.…

The quality of your life will be judged at the time of death only based on the quality of your inner space, not the quality of your outer space.
Usually people ask, ‘Swamiji, you say that life is purposeless. Then I may as well just lie down and relax. Who will give me food? Who will pay my bills?’ Let me tell you, you can never lie down forever. You may lie down for the next four or five days or for a week…

The whole problem of humanity is what you want outside is not with you and what you don’t need inside in your inner space is with you. You need to empty your inside, which is filled with unnecessary furniture. You need to have all the necessary things outside. Creating the inner space of completion with integrity and authenticity will immediately do that job.
Root thought pattern is nothing but this first social conditioning, this strong cognition which imbalances you from your purposeless space and gives birth to the mind, the idea that there is some purpose to life. Life has no purpose. Even if you achieve whatever you want, you can’t take it with you. You can’t carry…

The science of completion is the essence of Sāṅkhya Yoga. Completion makes you experience the Sāṅkhya of life.
In His concluding words in 2nd chapter, Kṛṣṇa clarifies to Arjuna once again, how to reach liberation, how to become one with Brahman which is one’s true and natural state. We have seen that a person not centered in self-completion cannot be peaceful or happy or wise. A person who is led by his senses…

When you feel responsible for everything that happens in your life, you will feel that everything is joyful, because nothing can make you powerless. So, empower yourself with responsibility and unlock the power of feeling.
In these verses from 2.31 to 2.38, Kṛṣṇa works on Arjuna at two levels. At one level He talks to Arjuna at the super conscious plane educating him on what the ultimate Truth is. He talks to Arjuna about how the undying and indestructible spirit lives on. Here, Kṛṣṇa addresses Arjuna’s fears about killing his…

What does have existence, what is truly real, exists now, has always existed and will exist forever!
We are all made of body, mind and spirit. The body is tangible; we can feel its boundaries. When a part of the body is sick, we can feel the discomfort. As long as we feel the body working smoothly, we say we are in good health. What is unclear or unknown to us is…
