GREETINGS

I am unable to understand in today’s discourse you had mentioned that we should not lean on Krishna for helping in our day to day karma but I find the in Gita it has been mentioned Sunday, June 01, 2014 Do Your Work as the Worship of God Subscribe to Bhagwat Gita & Our Life “Work is Worship” but When “Work is done as the Worship of God, it is called Karma Yoga”. To offer all of your actions to God, to live your life for the God, to service the God in every way is actually called the practice of Karma Yoga. By practicing Karma Yoga our future actions shall get purified & all of the bad karmas of our past shall get dissolved. By devoting all our Karmas to God our mind gets purified of all the impurities & our mind receives the Godly light, Godly grace and Godly knowledge. If we do Service of humanity then also it is the service of God as God sits in the heart of all human beings. Let’s work without attachment and egoism & offer all the good works of ours to God. By practicing Karma Yoga our heart reaches out to other people & through it we see God in all people’s hearts. By such devotional practice, divine virtues such as love, mercy, tolerance, kindness, patience, self-restraint, etc. are developed in us. Karma Yoga destroys jealousy, hatred, malice and the idea of superiority in us. Below are verses from “Bhagwat Gita”, in which God is asking his disciple Arjuna to do all his actions / activities for Him only. The below verses are firstly, written in, as it is written in original Sanskrit in Bhagwat Gita & below that is English translation of that verse. ‘ Ye tu srvani krmani myi sanyasya mat-para anany-naiv yogen maam dhyayant upasate ‘ ‘ Tesham-aham samud-dharta mrityu-sansar-saagrat bhavami na-chirat parth mayy-avesita-chetsam ‘ (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter XII verse 6-7) ‘Those people, who worship Me by surrendering all their activities unto Me, are always devoted to Me, always meditate upon Me, Having always fixing their minds upon Me, O Parth – to them, I swiftly rescue from the ocean of birth and death.’ Through above verse 6 & 7, God is telling ‘Parth’ (another name of Arjuna, his disciple), that those people who work for God only & offer all their activities & work to Him only, to such a Soul He shows great mercy, always protects him & finally rescues him during & after death. “mayi sarvani karmani sannyasyadhyatma-cetasa nirasir nirmamo bhutva yudhyasva vigata-jvarah” (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Three verse 30) “Sri Krishna said: Therefore, O Arjuna, surrendering all your works unto Me, with full knowledge of Me, without desires for profit, with no claims to proprietorship, and free from lethargy, fight.” Even Lord Krishna says to surrender to him with full devotion from all worldly material attachment. May be because of my ignorance I am unable to understand your discourse. May I seek your explanation to remove all my doubts and misconception. I am an ardent devotee of Lord Guruvayurappa and all your preachings have been given immense strength. Regards and pranamam N.K. Ramani
