Jamshedpur Jnana Yajna 2016
Day 4 of 4 day lecture series.
23 November 2016, CIRD Jamshedpur

In this Satsang, Swamiji emphasizes that the Bhagavad Gita is an administrative gospel which teaches us the art of living life well. Discussing sukha-duhkha Samatva (equalness towards sukha and duhkha), he says that a seeker must learn to swim in the sukha-duhkha waters by repeated introspection on their true nature.

A Sadhaka must remind himself that there is something within which is not affected by sukha or duhkha. By reflecting on the unaffected Self, he can weaken the influence of sukha and duhkha and strengthen the mind and intelligence. Just as the vast ocean accepts all the river waters flowing into it and turns them into saline water, one must assimilate all kinds of interactions of the world and ‘Selfize’ them.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Sri Krishna analyzes the inner personality of man. The senses are superior to the objects of the world; the mind is superior to the senses; Superior to the mind is the intelligence and still superior is the Self (which we denote by the term ‘I’.) Knowing the power and potential of his own inner personality, a seeker must never shrink from any challenge. Overcoming the slavery to the world, he must live as a master of the world.
