Want to Attract God's Grace Quickly? Realize THIS! Bhagavad Gita | Swami Mukundananda

What should we realize to attract God's grace? All activities we do are carried out by the mind-body-senses mechanism. In ignorance, the soul, deluded by false identification with the body, thinks of itself as the doer.

Now, for the actions of our own body, we usually divide them into two categories: 1) Natural biological functions, such as digestion, blood circulation, heartbeat, etc., which we do not consciously execute but which occur naturally. 2) Actions such as speaking, hearing, walking, sleeping, working etc. that we think we perform. Both these categories of works are performed by the mind-body-senses mechanism. All the parts of this mechanism are made from prakriti, or the material energy, which consists of the three modes (guṇas)—goodness (sattva), passion (rajas), and ignorance (tamas). Just as waves are not separate from the ocean, but a part of it, similarly the body is a part of Mother Nature from which it is created. Hence, material energy is the doer of everything. Why then does the soul perceive itself to be doing activities? The reason is that, in the grip of the unforgiving ego, the soul falsely identifies itself with the body. Hence, it remains under the illusion of doership. The moment the soul eliminates the ego and surrenders to the will of God, it realizes itself as the non-doer. One may question that if the soul is truly the non-doer, then why is it implicated in law of karma for actions performed by the body? The reason is that the soul does not itself perform actions, but it does direct the actions of the senses-mind-intellect. For example, a chariot driver does not pull the chariot himself, but he does direct the horses. Now, if there is any accident, it is not the horses that are blamed, but the driver who was directing them. Similarly, the soul is held responsible for the actions of the mind-body mechanism because the senses-mind-intellect work on receiving inspiration from the soul. ----------------------------------------------------- Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 27 प्रकृते: क्रियमाणानि गुणै: कर्माणि सर्वश: | अहङ्कारविमूढात्मा कर्ताहमिति मन्यते || 27|| prakṛiteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśhaḥ ahankāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate All activities are carried out by the three modes of material nature. But in ignorance, the soul, deluded by false identification with the body, thinks of itself as the doer. -------------------------------------------- 🙏 Holy Bhagavad Gita - Song of God videos in Gita Gyan Yagna series are published every Saturday at 9 am EST/6:30 pm IST.
