(Bhagavatham 5.5.9 – 5.5.13)

How to come out of this emotional weakness caused by “I”ness and “My”ness?

Rishabha answers here.

When the mind is full of Vasanas our thoughts are in that direction and hence mind becomes weak. When we are able to think wisely, our mind becomes relaxed and peaceful. Body consciousness ends and mind gets liberation from “I”ness and hence its product “My”ness.

When does the cause for “I”ness get destroyed? It is possible only through devotion in our Guru who is most powerful to seek God every where and in God Himself. Then we need service mindedness, dispassion, balanced mind, penance, detachment towards worldly achievements, and power of discrimination to know what is right and what is wrong.

Rishabha adds that, “surrender all your Karma to Me, listen to My glory, be in My devotees’ company, praise Me, be good to all beings, consider all equally, have peacefulness, do not take your body as your Self and do not take your home etc as your own”.
