The law of Cosmos and the natural law of Existence – Dharma is not comparison based philosophy of communism, socialism, capitalism or corporatism. But it is Responsibilism.
The idea of duty is different for different people, different countries, different cultures, and different religions. Hence the term ‘duty’ is impossible to clearly define. We have always been trained by society to consider certain acts as duty; some as good and others as bad. Duty and responsibility are totally different.For example, it is our…

Do your work with authenticity and responsibility to enrich others and yourself, surrendering the responsibility of the results to Existence because Existence loves you and understands you better than you understand yourself
There are two techniques by which one can liberate oneself from attachment to work. One is by telling oneself, ‘I am not the doer.’ By continuously reminding yourself that it is the senses and not you who is doing something, you distance yourself from the action. This is what Kṛṣṇa explains in the previous verses.…

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 entire teaching of Bhagavad Gītā can be summarized in the two verses 2.47, 2.48.
The sheer brilliance of the wisdom of the Universal Master is reflected in these verses. Whenever I get a chance I refer to these verses to explain how one should lead one’s life. Kṛṣṇa says many, many things in these few words. He says, ‘You have the right and responsibility to work. You have no…

Whenever you listen to you, you listen to others. When you don’t listen to others, you don’t listen to you also.
Listen! Please come to the space of listening. Many teachers tell you, ‘However much you listen, unless you practice, it won’t help you.’ I tell you now, ‘However much you try to practice, unless you listen, it won’t help you!’ The problem is that we do not trust ourselves and our innate intelligence to respond…

When was the last time you really listened to your own words?
It is here that we enter into the real Gītā. It is from here that Bhagavān or God, Nārāyaṇa starts speaking and singing the Gītopaniṣad into the listening of Nara Arjuna, and through Arjuna into the listening of the whole of humanity. Until now Kṛṣṇa was speaking as a man, as Vāsudeva Kṛṣṇa, in His…

If you come to the conclusion You are Consciousness, by your very breathing you spread that as it is your Bhaava does the Spanda and the Sphurana.
Actually, I feel that whole thing, all of you in front of Me and this whole hall, this mic, everything, this throne, everything, kind of a…liquid, semi-solid. Where the bhaava freezes into matter, where the ideas becoming idols, in that space, I can see the whole operation happening. From this space, I want to give…

Working out of overflowing energy, overflowing compassion, and the overflowing feeling of responsibility for everything, is what makes a life spiritual
I always tell people, ‘Do not think you have a certain amount of energy and you will work according to that energy. No. Whatever work and responsibility you take up, the energy starts expressing accordingly. You will have energy according to the responsibilities which you take up. Whatever responsibility you take upon yourself, you will…

Reaching out to an Enlightened master, doing what the master says and acting without intention is life!
If the depth of the intention is more and the action is less, the person is lazy. He is lazy or in tamas. If the depth of intention and of the action is the same, the person is in restless action or rajas. If there is no intention but only the action, he is in…
