All interactions bring to the mind sukha and duhkha. What does the mind have to do? Mind must overcome the delusion that sukha is desirable and duhkha is undesirable. Swamiji explains how spirituality is never to dissuade one from action, but to be able to do whatever comes one’s way, assimilating the impacts of the action gracefully.

Slokas chanted in the track:

दुःखेष्वनुद्विग्नमनाः सुखेषु विगतस्पृहः ।
वीतरागभयक्रोधः स्थितधीर्मुनिरुच्यते ॥
(Bhagavad Gita 2.56)

न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत् ।
कार्यते ह्यवश: कर्म सर्व: प्रकृतिजैर्गुणै: ॥
(Bhagavad Gita 3.5)

प्रकृतेः क्रियमाणानि गुणैः कर्माणि सर्वशः ।
(Bhagavad Gita 3.27)
