Have enough feeling of surrender to see the truth
Kishore Shintre
#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta's each chapter and each shloka is so meaningful that we first need to surrender ourselves to Bhagwan Shri Krishna to even understand the text and its deep meaning. Like in 18th chapter Krishna says- (BG 18.66) "Abandon all varieties of religion and simply surrender unto me alone. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear". It was when Arjuna was depressed in the battlefield Krishna told him about Karma yoga so that he can fulfill his Kshatriya Dharma. He even told him about Raja yoga, Janna yoga etc. to attain Him. He also gives different types of knowledge to him like controlling of mind, meditation etc. But if anyone fails to do any type yoga then the simple solution for Him is to surrender into Him. He will show you the right path to attain Him as He says-
Further in (BG 10.10) says he to those "who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give them understanding by which they can come to Me". In surrender you have to completely depend upon the mercy of lord. Krishna says by surrendering even the most sinful person will be free from all sinful reactions. He also says that by devotional service the devotees who fall down accidentally can also be considered as saint by simply surrendering to Him.
Also in (BG 9.30) he says even If one commits the most abominable action, if he is engaged in devotional service he is to be considered saintly because he is properly situated in his determination. Krishna also describes that one should take refuge in Him without any desire for material profits. This is called complete surrender where there is no desire for gain/profit in devotional service. Krishna also tells us that process of complete surrender through Bhagwad Gita.
BG 18.65 “Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage into Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail.” One of the greatest examples of surrendering is Draupadi in Mahabharata who lifted both of her hands and prayed to the Lord to save her during her humiliation. Surrender means as following in the appearance day of Golden Avatar. In the combined form of Sri Radha and Krishna together as one. k???a-prema-pradāya te — to give k???a-prema. Love of Krishna. [Cc. madhya 19.53]. As Krishna, he could not give himself to everyone. Krishna ordered — because he is the Supreme Person, he can order — sarva-dharmān parityajya mā? eka? ?ara?a? vraja — “Abandon all varieties of religion and surrender unto me.” [Bg. 18.66] -— but he could not induce it to us. We are so rascal that we could not even take the direct order of Krishna.
Whereas we humans are such stupid people, and therefore, Krishna again thought, “These rascals, they could not understand me. All right, now let me appear as a devotee of Krishna, and I shall give not only Krishna but also k???a-prema. Love of Krishna.This is Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He is mahā- Badānya, most munificent. He’s not only giving Krishna, but also k???a-prema. That is wanted. prema pumārtho mahān — This human form of life is meant for achieving love of Godhead. That is the perfection of life. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is mahābadānyā avatāra because he is giving k???a-prema in Namahatta in a open market free of any charge for it. (Excerpts from Krsna Kathamrita Bindu 494th Issue)
When we read in satya, treat and dwapar yuga, demons were born with demonic quality. So the Lord use to kill them by taking incarnation to reestablish the religious principals. Please note all world rules and regulations are based on religious principals only. But in this Kaliyuga people born with demonic qualities in them. So to kill demonic qualities means to kill all human population. So in place of killing all population, Lord Krishna says just surrender your demonic mentality or man made religiosity or bad qualities and purify yourself to be eligible to go back to Goloka planet , in spiritual world. There are four legs of religious principals, on which the whole world runs. we should follow these to achieve our Dharma, Aartha Kama and Moksha. Dharma is living with dignity and righteousness, protecting other class of livings. Artha is earning wealth for our livelihood by following legal way. Kama is fulfilling our desire of senses. Moksha is preparing yourself for our future life after death. It is to break the cycle of birth and death and not accepting the temporary body again and again. The ultimate goal of life or Moksha is to join back to Krishna's kingdom as a pure spiritual being. The kingdom of Krishna is our original residence not this earth planet.
Surrender means follow these four regulative principles; 1 No Tamas (nonveg eating including fish eggs, onion and garlic). If we eat meat by killing, then we loose the quality of Mercy to other living entities. They have same rights as human being to live freely on this earth planet.
2 No intoxication.(Including alcohol, tea, coffee, smoking drugs etc.) If we do intoxication , then we loose our control of mind and impaired intelligence.
3 No gambling of money or possessions. We know Mahabharata. The war of Mahabharata where 9000000 soldiers killed. This was due to Dyut or gambling. Gambling includes lottery, share market speculation and any sort of game were money is used for speculative earning.
4 No illegal Sex outside marriage. To satisfy our senses we should marry to have children. When we take care of our children, we produce first class human being. Except our wife we should pronounce other females as “mother”. By following legal married sex we do not produce unwanted children roaming on streets and avoid abortions.
Then next step is to chant Hare Krishna Mahamantra on beads 16 x 108 times daily. The Mahamantra is as following : "Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Ram Hare Ram, Ram Ram Hare Hare" This is called Maha means the greatest of all and Man-tra means which saves you from mental distress. This is basic pedestal and requirement to understand and to purify our self to taste the spiritual. Further practice which leads us to understand and joins our self to spiritual energy.
