Effort and Fruition here and now

Swami Bhoomananda Tirthaji, in this talk, tells us how to read the scriptures and how to focus on what are the verses tell us. Commonly, people have a question: “What happens when the body falls?” Swamiji says that a seeker has to acquire knowledge. Then all the knots of the heart are untied, all doubts of the intelligence will be removed, the ego will completely dissolve and all doership will be totally wiped out.

Our life is experiential. In the experiential life, how can we ever think of anything before birth and after death? Our problems are here. So, the solution also should be here. For the clear-minded person, everything is here and now. When the mind becomes full and contended, there is no question of any craving for anything whatsoever.

If a seeker attains the supreme state, then there is no question of further birth. All our activities are here. All the papas and punyas, gain and loss are here. So, Bhagavad Gita asks us to focus on life here and now and tells us that the effort and the fruition is here, in this life itself.
