Poojya Swamiji interacts with young professionals talk during Malaysia Jnana Yajna 2024

Date: 01 September 2024
Location: SIRD, Malaysia

In this Satsang, Swamiji emphasizes that there is an art and process of balancing the professional and spiritual pursuits. When spiritual pursuit is understood in its entirety, it enables a balance in all areas of life.

On the domestic front, we interact with parents, brothers, sisters, and children; in society, it may be with strangers; in professional front, with colleagues or bosses. But in all situations, the interacting subject is the same. Spirituality lies in understanding the interacting subject and enriching the mind, enlightening the intelligence and bringing about expansion.

Arjuna was a warrior; Public administration was his profession. When he saw his own kith and kin on the battlefield, whom he had to fight and kill, he crumbled. Arjuna’s problems were grief, doubt, ignorance and delusion. By the Bhagavad Gita dialogue, Krishna empowered Arjuna and enabled him to fight. Even today, we face uncertainty, doubts, grief, delusion etc. The Bhagavad Gita treats these problems which we face daily in our professional life and daily life.

When we learn to face both happiness and misery with equanimity, all aspects of life—professional, familial, and social—become spiritual. The key is to perform all actions without emotional clinging (sanga) and to assimilate all interactions with poise and grace.

In conclusion, Swamiji prescribes a practice to nourish the mind and intelligence. He urges all listeners to sit in silence and observe the mind for at least twenty minutes a day.
