Okay, let us get centered and welcome everybody. Happy happily and diligently moving forward with chapter two. I'm going to begin the chanting, chapter two, the first 10 verses and they are simple and we shall move forward with a brief explanation of each of the verse. do notice that on verse five, my chanting meter will change from verse five towards eight. Because when verses are friend verses are longer than that, then the style of the chant changes. So, chapter two.

But the idea again, you always say now, the second idea chapter, Sanjay Oba. Remember Sanjay is having a conversation with a blind King. Raj Sanjay has a shell ability. A sixth AI, a sixth. Sixth Sense, extrasensory ability to see what is happening so he's reporting is broadcasting like a satellite camera so he's telling the crash of Lion King. Sunday watch them push down a shuffle na collection Rishi dum dum dum ba wacha Medusa Then.

Now he reports that Bhagwan Shri Krishna is saying shavon hwacha goddess Akasha Milan Eden Wish me some of us are not Jewish Thomas sweat again young as he got Mr. Gao now, play BM mas de Gama bata they claim that they should drum da da da da da origin Oh watch come ah mama Hamza okay. grow them cha mother Sudan issue be Betty yo.

About bearable mamas number I'm Rob jam Surinam concludes second long sentences concluding two verses by Sunday, Sunday watch a TV show doc a shopper and now you have to move on Archie Harrison era Baraka Cena yo yo Ma, Rishi. This concludes the first 10 verses because as you know that from the 11 verse Baba We'll start offering philosophy and teachings which we are anticipating. So, these done these last 10 verses are indicative of the continuing conversation from chapter one. However, the tone and the and the discussion has changed it has become much more focused in the beginning when Arjuna in chapter one was dealing with the raga and raga leading to shoka grief and then Maha delusion and had confused thermo and mostly was giving his own arguments, like a very well prepared lawyer advocating his case advocating his decision as to what he should do even though he was talking to Lord Krishna.

He was not really just talking one way it was more like a wild thing. He didn't really wait for any Importantly, and even declared what he should do. He even said, once I should die, you said I should leave and go away all these extreme discussions and we go through that sometimes we are talking to a friend, our parent, significant trouble, even our teacher, and we are so full with sorrow and suffering that we are simply tapping. And we are going on creating negative scenarios. And so this was the author of Arjuna samsara hijack this hobby had ended chapter one. So in the first words, and this is telling the blind in that simply he's saying that it's not For the following words, the grieving Arjuna grieving, the one who is overcome by attachment and that word, and that word comes from clip IR Koopa means false compassion, false attachment.

I wish Tom I wish them in suffering. So he's overcome a shoe a shoe with ice tears, I should form a collection and so his eyes are brimming with yours and these are the words that God spoke to Arjuna while he was in this situation, that is all the worst one is saying. Okay. So very clear description as if Sanjay was standing right there. And he had that vision and people just thought this is a good strategy by the office. What does Bhagwan say?

He says. So, as I mentioned to you last time that in the beginning, sometimes before a teacher gives the deep philosophy because up till now as you can see that Arjuna has not really said I'm not sure because that's coming up in verse eight, no verse seven, still wants to know is not going to start eating the highest philosophy. So, at the most he can give him a wake up call. And so he uses a bit harsh words and he says from well, oh, oh Arjuna from where has this dejection, you know this dejection dum dum this dejection has come to you know, this is not ideally entertained by normal people. You know Aria, the word Aria, even though the word audience has been maligned by Hitler, but R is a Sanskrit word that is not a caste always our means the noble one. In fact, the whole dynasty of dynasty of the people who embody voluntarily embody noble behavior, whether they are King or boatmen, whether they are soldier.

This behavior does not suit an army because you are from such a you're a noble person, you have gone to guru Kingdom you have studied all the things you're choosing a certain way of life. This is not suitable to you This behavior that you are embodying You know, it says that us for them, it will not leave to have it, which means you're not collecting any personal passport. By the way, you know how I've talked about putting them on top of that is certain noble behavior that we do. For example, somebody wants to cross the street is an old person, you're in a rush, but you saw that that old person needed to cross the street. So you voluntarily, you know, probably got late for a meeting, but you realize somebody needs to walk that old person across the street. So you took out five, seven minutes of your busy life, walk that person across the street to me, make sure to safely go across the street and this is called RF or a normal behavior, or make me and you get five minutes late for the meeting and your boss may give you a look.

But what You actually create a podium with an invisible magnet. And this invisible magnet will give you a better body next lifetime basically, it's a cloud. It might not generate benefit right away. But it's like a bypass it creates, it creates good fortune coming up. And potentially it can also you know, if you have to be reborn again, we born in higher loca. So when heaven when, when the Vedic texts use Heaven, they don't have the concept of heaven which is fixed.

For example, in Christianity, there is a heaven and then there is a hell and you go to heaven, I go to hell, but heaven means the seven locals that are above earth. And hell means six locals that are below earth. And Earth is like in between half dark half light, half sorrow, half happiness. But as you move up The logos you get it's an easier existence legislated. It's not you still don't know who you are. But hey, if you have to have a body why not choose a body that's you know, that's that's another loca.

The setup. You may not know it, many of you are born here. But there are many immigrants. I'm not one of them either because I came from comfort, but there are many immigrants who try to come to America on a boat, or they walk across the desert, they might even die in the process. Why? Because they're trying to change their local, see if we live in a better local will have a better life.

So one of the reasons we like to behave directly not that it's, it's not a candy, but it's a fact that when you behave in a dynamic manner, you get promoted 10 times Which local you go to. So, is it this theater is not leading you in an other world benefit okay. And also will lead to a fame in this world it will lead to influence okay the guilty means fame and okay the means in fame or loss of faith in the opposite of this thing it will lead to this. So, this is very worldly argument that Krishna has given. And I think most teachers when when, you know, the kind of conversation I will have with, with my close student will be who who I know is my student would be very different from somebody I talked to and I can't really give them some advice.

So, you know, it's naturally one can say okay, let us now start discussing the Philosophy in the deep court now so he gives a very basic understanding and it does what is interesting discussion on finance in purity. So, it's like his he's talking about a mental impurity like depression, dejection negative thinking, building up a scenario and then finding oneself locked in if we do that to ourselves. So he is Come on, so he's like, snap out of it. That is what Lord Krishna is saying. It's a very sharp wake up, you know, I can I can I can vouch to you that sometimes I'm a father figure, a mother figure, Ababa figure in my life can just snap you out of something and that was his hope. So he says that you know that this is what he say is in In his invoices, and also, another part I was remembering is that an audio is one who is bound by basically you cannot be a noble person we're not talking about normal because of birth or because of land or because of aristocracy or blood, or beauty events.

We're talking about an Aryan or an aria in the Vedic terminology, these one who is done and if he or her Mambo, then we never we don't do our duties based upon, is it pleasant or unpleasant? Will it really benefit or not benefit? Will it be taking too much or too less from with it to me, Judy is duty, whether it's pleasant or unpleasant, that is what is that a Dharma bound person does so it is understood as because in the previous Mahabharata Arjuna and his brothers demonstrated that Dharma boundedness which the Jonas Brothers didn't do that, but now in this moment of attachment, even all that is gone. So that's why Krishna Krishna is reminding him that you are an audio. You will you you have an inner standard. You remember that, you know?

And so this is what's happening. Okay? Then in this third verse, He uses a word called Clyde Bure mass nagamma. Because his mother's name is Peter Parker, and he calls clay. Clay opium is a word. And it's not a curse word and it's not.

It's not a swear word. It's not a swear word. But cable is a very technical word used for a man who's behaving not like a man. So, cower, not willing to wear your pants. I don't know what I don't know those English statements. Sorry.

With some funding, not only do we have bands, I don't mean that, I mean not willing to be a man, let's just say that not willing to, to to, to stand up for, for what they've been given, you know, the body the the courage, the muscles the the ability to have teachers like thrown out to the barn and shut the king or royal family at the best training. So be a man do what you have to do so this is the school that I was talking about this is harsh words. So I'm hoping that after these particular verses, some of my students will now have see me in new light and understand that if I use certain certain statements towards them and if the students are still here, that means it was for their own benefit. Did not necessarily, you know, get anything out of it, but sometimes, this is what a teacher does to break the mess, let's just say and as you know, our job is full of drama.

So he needed this logistic energy from Guam and Guam is so much you know, my one is role modeling, how we respond to different situations. So you can see that bhagwad Gita is not painting the whole world with one brush, poverty that is showing how we live, communicate, and move towards goal oriented behavior to our different states of mind, different speech, etc. So he says that Come on, do not take too unmanned and it's not that you are and he doesn't say that he says, Do not resort to unmanly behavior. So he's not he's not degrading Arjuna Please, no. He's pointing out that Arjuna is choosing behavior which is not indicative of his of his abilities do not take and should drum hit a doorbell. He says give us this should grow in small okay they adorable me there means hard w means weakness.

This unit this weak hearted small mindedness small minded Miss omkara Mama, my teacher, my grandfather, that's it. This is this is what my world has produced. I forgotten everything. In fact, in one of the verses in chapter one he had even said I'd rather be killed by a name. As you know, he's not thinking about the others who are dependent Upon import righteousness who want the rule of law to return to their state, it only been recorded because everybody needs to do anything small minded. smallness comes from the collapse of the universe to those two three characters with which he has emotional blood and loyal thinking and remember, again, Mako Gita is not warmongering.

Baka kita is just using gas Acharya, the author is just using war. He's using a very extreme situation to drive home the point that sometimes we may have to take actions, which will not be easy for us. But if we are really going to be our normal if we have to do what we have to do, then sometimes we just, we just have to courageous to choose courage. So this is the net of a couple of strong words from Babylon, Lord to Arjuna. I would love it if Lord given scolded me Besides, you know our generals talking and talking so whole chapter one Arjuna talks so the only response he could get from Lord is somewhat of a strong response if nothing else to make him quit quit quiet even though we will notice that our domestic stocks but it's better. Anyway, so moving forward quickly with this and then as you start to get stocks and you say, oh, Krishna, same thing comes back.

How can I Find my coach. I have I mean, my adorable My beloved, my worship, worship bubble wish mom my grandfather and grown up Michael, who is my artistic boo all Arjuna asked Krishna How can I fight against adorable Dishman Drona in this war with arrows when in Sangha means war and it should be he means paddles how it's inconceivable but he kind of nails it, this is my problem. And he calls a lot Krishna Medusa tonight this point is very interesting. I mentioned to you what they call it a because Krishna had destroyed a very demonic life personality called mother. So the last one is calling the mother so nine is saying look, you can do all those Because models are clearly demonic, he had a career of being a demonic, like a very toxic person. So it was mother so the nine in front of me I could have killed them, but this is my beloved use the word beloved Puja, beloved grandfather and my beloved teacher, how can I can I cannot even imagine doing that.

So, he said, and then starts with long statements, and he says that and the next one, he says, worse, five days in this world, right now, in this Java, it's better to beg and ask for food, better to live on arms, than to kill once Whoo, very true. And if I killed his guru, then given any pleasure or anything come I will enjoy it. As always. stamp that it really blood stain. So he's repeating his point he, he wants to you know, clarify that again. And as an Krishna is quiet again because again Arjuna has started.

This is how really the teaching starts happening. Verse six the next verse when he surrenders and slowly becomes quiet, and then the teaching happens there is a pause has to happen when the way I see it is our mind can be two ways our mind can be problem driven. Our solution driven but when it's problem driven, it can build up I mean, it can get quite, quite soul quite like like high tide and for it to start Attracting solutions receiving solutions receiving guidance. There has to be an inward movement and a poise and probably an exhale, and an ability to receive which we're not seeing yet, or they're moving towards it. So the way he's talking, you know, Krishna again becomes quiet. And then he starts saying, and I know he says in verse six we face.

We have come to verse six, and he says, Now this is a guess. And he says, he's kind of hinting that there are two courses and he says, I don't know which of the two courses is better. Should I go to war? Should I not go to war? You know, should I let them conquer me? That's the word he's using or should ask conquer them, you know.

So, he kind of not take that with Maha I do not know what to do. He clearly sees not yet that the Maha I do not know what to do. So finally, last time I had discussed admin, verse seven, and in verse seven, somehow, he stopped himself through and he starts coming down and he says, I don't know which course to follow, should I conquer them? Should I let them conquer me? And then he says, that Panama, Guam, you know, I am certain that you saw the MMA so he says that my mind is overpowered by helplessness. So now he says a change instead of looking at them crying for them, now he's looking at his own mind.

DC and now he says i carbonate Osho Ba ba ba ba Carpenter Lucia. It's like a Vata dosha Vata dosha Cappadocia, Carpenter Xhosa means a dosha of attachment. So I become overpowered by the dose of attachment this he says when he says the heart which means my own intellect Cheetah, Cheetah, my own ability to think Did you discriminate? judge plan strategize. It has become muddled. moolah Chase, it has become completely deluded by this more haha.

So Tom Chang I asked you grew up Tell me tell me yet. Which one this chip this chip from share half aha which part is definitely good for me now it's very clear to the teacher Should I let them conquer me? Should I conquer them? Which part is definitely good for me? Uh huh they shisha I am your shoddy mom. Putnam Blom Teach me Who am I?

Who am I? Son of so and so, husband of so and so No, I am one who is a disciple who has surrender to Putnam I have surrender. So Ben for surrender is used in a Guru shishya Parampara means okay and I'm surrendering my egos our egos privilege to decide its own course of action. Most of all habit, even a two year old node i will decide So everybody has an eagle. And but a shisha says, I'm going to retire my ego for a little bit because I've been using my ego until now and it has led me to work to rather shoka it has led to suffering. So I'm going to retire it and you guide me.

So this is why surrender is a very important state of mind in the movement of the student forward and this is what is happening here. So we had discussed at length, this seventh worse, so I'm not going to be talking about it. So now let me talk about verse eight. Okay. So in verse eight right why he surrendered his ego he made his he submitted his 1500 word essay to Bhagwan in these words, he says, I do not see anything that can read me or sorrow of this sort of mine. And it has weakened all my sense organs means my ability to perceive the ability to cognize and at this point even the mind is like a sense of and and and that I realized that the sorrow will remain even if I get unrivaled amazing kingdom on earth and all kinds of no so no boo moments upon God Jim couldn't come up on the bus give jobs even after getting the can ship over the gods like this would be an ultimate kingdom and divine kingdom on earth.

But I think that this brief is setting more than me and so he's really clearly surrendering it now it's okay to tell your group tell your guide that this is my sorrow I'm really suffering from this and by by by talking about the kingdom, he's saying he clearly knows that wealth, wealth power. luxuries are not going to be the solution for the soil that I have. So, this is what Arjuna presents to his teacher, Lord Krishna. That's it. This is where Arjuna stops talking. Immediately.

Maze is broken heart and the sense of emptiness that he's perceiving. And we've all had that sometimes you have a broken heart. And we may have money in the bank, we may have prospects in Korea, but we feel it. And this is what he's saying. And this is where he kind of stops talking and Sunday winds up with two more verses and then Bhagwan starts talking. So, then Sunday a watcher and he says, having spoken this way, to Lord Krishna Arjuna Finally, the last word he says is, I will not fight.

So, this is how students are, they are asking for help. They are also surrendering but they also have remnants of their ego. And so they have a solution that has been preconceived by older carts and so hit the neck of his belly. let off his understanding. So he says, Now you're at a good occasion. Now your ego and I did not find so.

So we don't see Arjuna saying it directly I will not fight, but we have Sanjaya reporting in third person and so the his last words, his last words to Bhagwan word, Lord Krishna was I not fight not these ways, words. No, please understand, I shall not fight, I will not fight. This is not just about fight in that war that happened didn't happen thousands of years ago. I don't know. This is about us where we get so depressed because for the blanket above our head, and our either not even get out of my bed, I will not present my opinions I will just become invincible I shall disappear. If I have a disease I'll give up to it if I have sorrow, I will.

I will dwell in it I will not five is indicative of what happens when samsara or problems us we lose our inner ability to move forward we can be stuck drowning in sorrow and we become incapacitated, and we say I will not fight. So this is one the nine course any false Lord Krishna Govinda Govinda as you know is the one who is a protector of the world. Also. So one who protects the world is governed by another meaning is one who is in control of his entire mind and senses. So he's now beginning to look at Lord, as you know, can you protect me to protect the whole word and go ahead and pull it back to me? You know?

Another interesting word in Govind very interesting. His goal here represents the Punisher the Shasta. And Linda represents that truth, which can be grasped only through the listening of so golden pie is one or Lord or that supreme truth power. divine truth gets lives inside the sacred geometry. shadek sculptures like now some of you have begun to study with me And you become all confused around the border, not confused, but I don't want to say that whatever you knew was confusing, but there were various ways of looking at God, but the way Easter comes forward, which includes whichever God the worship is not exclusive, is inclusive of every God or any god and all of this lives in such shock. The understanding of the Supreme reality that underlies all the changes in all of this knowledge is hidden inside the Punisher.

So go is the Punisher that means that so go Winda, who is Lord Krishna? Is this presence only for Arjuna for each one of us, who is Bhagwan? Is there Ishwara Are we just spiritual offer? is roaming around miserable or is there hope for us all of this gets a little golden so that's why it's very interesting that now he's not calling in Madhusudan and now he's saying go now your ego when he goes in the head protector of the way you protect me. You find a fight for me. I will not fight this is a this is a very Listen, we are not calling on Gina.

Let's feel how we get like that how we become so broken out we give up on the fight, how we feel so scared we you know, we curl up in fetal position and get really scared. And it's okay. Then to 10 go into about that. So we're not calling anybody here. We're actually having great compassion for Arjuna because this is The humans journey here I really feel so lost and the truth is Aiden in the Upanishads, but you and I, we can all be fortunate that the Gita Punisher is going to reveal to us so much. So.

And the last the very last verse. Sanjay further says, Lord Krishna spoke these words now to Arjuna which will come up in 11 onwards, smiling as if it was so it was like perhaps, perhaps some evil, right, his son in a smiling as Rishikesh our Lord Krishna, for these words to Arjuna, who was Vichy that was breathing. So please see, that student is bleeding because student has lack of knowledge students Due to lack of knowledge, he's also feeling paralyzed. But the teacher is not laughing or scorning, but smiling from inner joy, why? Because Lord knows that the student has surrendered, no student has come to the part, I shall be able to teach that student and because the student has surrendered, teacher can see that the student is full of delusions of confusions, but Krishna is smiling because he knows that our job is about to get the gift of shots.

And it shall set him free and it is true that the at the end of the chapter about what to do and he becomes awakened to a much greater reality, which exists at the absolute level at the atomic level and of the world. He never he knows all his choices. He's a very confident person, and probably not Krishna. No, he's got He could see that this is what's going to happen. So that's my thing. I love this, this worst and, and I love the countenance of Bhagwan smiling in the middle of the bathtub in the middle of the detection of Arjuna in the middle of this great warrior who had who was behaving in an unmanly manner, for you know, to say that to a great warrior who was renowned, that means something he had really been reduced to a very no sorry sorrowful version of himself, but there was not smiling and that smile is a sign of subclass.

And thereafter, the teachings from verse 11, which is next to verse 66. There are a few more verses with tend to have a closing impact but the teaching happens from 211 to 1866. And barely teachers say in a yo yo ma t in the middle between the two armies and those two armies represent our choices. Are those two armies the present this or that, you know, darkness or night. There's always a crossroads. And that's why it's very symbolic, that Lord or teacher.

So with this rica beat, verse 10. And we are going to go forward. But I would just briefly like to pause and congratulate ourselves feel good that you did this and we are about to start leveling. I would say that you should go back to each of these 10 verses and reading From the texts that you have, and then of course, we listen to what I have to say. And I would say that the end of these 10 verses, you should really have a deep, compassionate and special place for Arjuna. And also identify yourself with Arjuna because I have been there.

And I have also found that when I was really, really broken when I had nowhere to go, because we managed to do it right here, you know, when I had nowhere to go, I could only turn towards God. And then there was light, that's all I can say. And then there was guidance and my own, my guru and God has helped me when I have really deeply been able to trust a bigger awaited teacher. No and of course, that has been in my life. So I'm very happy. So now have one one watch.

Sure john and Rochelle just got Java down. Better Suna de la new Xu Chang Panetta. So this is a loaded and loaded. So, Lord begins with in this chapter, chapter two is actually reflective of all the chapters that are coming up. And if you look at all the teachings then like I mentioned there is a highest philosophy word The philosophy of the parameters from the ultimate truth of Atman Rahman self ultimate reality, then there is and then he teaches that about Western defines ultimate optimality Abramovic, Dr. manaan. And then again, compassion, in case that's too much.

Then he teaches about Dharma, how to be Noble. What are the ways that we can embody nobility through Karma Yoga? And finally, he also teaches how to be, you know, we've seen some effect but there will be a little bit of bhakti yoga coming up so that we can in other worldly level we feel scared or nervous. So how can we connect Higher Power. So that is all these teachings that are coming up, not to say Arjuna Harris is one teaching and this is it. He was he was the true who was a psychologist 5000 years ago you see psychotherapy happening here.

He's He's giving all these ideas to see which one entrepreneur will bite which will really chew upon how and he is giving him a full spectrum. psychotherapy, so that there is a deconditioning happening. So the highest level, when we forget that we are spiritual beings are not physical beings, we are deathless, immortal beings, forget that. And that creates its own version of illusion at the level of Maya. That is a self hypnosis where we begin to take our life very literally and we be Don't even know who we are. So that's the highest level.

Then there is the dharmic level and then there's the worldly level and he will take us through all of that, but he chooses to begin with the highest level. And now I understand that I will not try to. I understand now that because this is a teaching text in the Vedic tradition, you know, Bhagavad Gita, Brahma sutras and these are three. This time three are the three main tools of awakening and empowerment in the beyond yoga tradition. So there is always the highest of neon yoga that comes first. That's number one.

Okay. And also, it me It may plant some seeds in many of you and you may not completely get what Krishna is teaching yet the first time but slowly as you chew upon it, it is the ultimate reality. And for me also take some time these verses, but even my new book is all about this. I mean, this has become my, the highest paradigm is my main paradigm through which I work. That's why as a teacher, not not always easy to understand. But so try not, don't give up Don't get frustrated, if worse.

11 To 25 fee like, some of it is going through a year and some of it is going above your Yeah, you didn't get it. Just trust. Listen, you can go back and contemplate re lesson in a few years from now. It will all make sense And then they will be other verses that you've totally got. And then there'll be some verses to do like, I'm already living this. So you'll get a variety of teaching.

And that's all this is and keep getting wet in the river. That's what's more important. And trust that is coming from Bhagwan. It's coming at the right carmaker opportune time is going to do the work it's going to do on me and it's going to decondition me from my self ignorance, ultimately. So it's not about intellectually academies leaving on top of it, but more like opening your heart and receiving it and that's what I say. So the Lord began by addressing his grief because he had said, I'm full of grief, do you remember that?

And so he says, You are grieving for those who should not be Before and you're speaking wise words. So be wise. So what is real wisdom man? It's not scolding him of saying, you're speaking wise words but wise men are wise people he didn't say man, he said wise beings. And even the word wise I don't know but it's called people of discernment cumbia means one who is using a deeper faculty, not just a reactive faculty, but a faculty that has become nurtured with biana. So, says, the discriminately people with discrimination, wisdom, they do not grieve for the dead and for the living.

So now there is coming at a very high level and It's a very important word, because in a way it condenses the entire Gita into this one verse so you can understand that I might need a whole another class to explain this verse to you, and that's okay. Right? Because if we could get these 25 verses in this lifetime, rather 11 to 25 verses in this lifetime, we're lucky. We're fortunate. So we're not trying to compete at chapters We are here to Gather, Gather the real wisdom, so. So when he says that, so in a way, Lord Krishna saying that is pointing to a very root problem that we all have.

And it's the problem of self ignorance as capital and we have Confused ourselves, we think that we are the body and the mind. And we have forgotten that we are a spiritual being, the ask money, and we are not. We have a body in mind that we are not the body and mind. So there is a very core confusion that we are all having. So, in a way it's, it's not awkward, but it's up down and it's a complete ignorance of the self. And it's because of this ignorance ladies.

If you look at the deepest, deepest, deepest reason why we are suffering at all in our lives, you and I, in our day to day things, it is even like oh, will I make it to the airport or time in case this is a very it's not because the logistics of my life are ruled by somebody called Sunday. A couple of things and besides if I miss but the point is in cases of suffering and suffering, then that suffering will occur to me because I think that I am this five feet, something human being whose life is completely dependent upon reaching the airport and catching the flight on time receiving those goals, because this is my life, this is all of me, and I will get fused with it. But if I remember that I myself and all of this is just an experience happening in a dream like existence, whether I catch flights have missed flights.

I mean, qualitatively it is the same in the dream. So bear with me. Okay. Those of you have started some data about it will be easy. For those of you who are relatively new to my discussions on the sell, and dream world and all of that this will be complex and I'm going to take money Time to explain this to you so you don't have to have any concerns. Remember Lord is smiling and teaching this.

So he says that. But when he says, so he says that it is this forgetfulness that we begin grieving for people we shouldn't be grieving for what I mean by we shouldn't be, because some deeper teachings are coming up not because they are not worthy of our grief, he is not talking at a worldly level of shoots and of course, the deepest point that Lord wants to convey to us is that which which will come up in will which will come up in Coming up verses but the deepest point he wants to say is we think we think that for example, we may grieve for our child who may not pass a certain exam we may be for somebody who's suffering from cancer or who has premature death, right these are things again for the maybe for an animal who goes extinct we may grieve for people who are who do not have a blanket in the cold right these are our worldly grapes are in the very highest level.

The self which is our true self, our true spiritual nature is immune to all of this. It embody is it has a body it has a mind and there are experiences with the body and mind are experiencing for the self. The real self is immune to any of that solid is it it is chancer and it even find joy because it is one discipline reality. So even or so called grief is when we subscribe to that experience, think it's the ultimate reality. And then we get locked into crying or, or being joyous now, when I first heard this I thought, Lord Krishna, the I've heard it from childhood. And when I was a child, I didn't understand these words.

Mother used to keep teaching. Maybe I was 15 or 16. When I started contemplating if Lord was being a bit indifferent, he was not just teaching, the highest knowledge and in my own progress, in my own thinking, from worldly to the hermit to the other Ultimate Reality, when there is death in the family, in my case, just had a death a week ago, of someone I was very close to or some things don't happen the way they should. One of my innermost now conviction is that it's just all happening. It's an appearance. It's not the ultimate reality.

So I'm no one to rescue something, and nobody will abandon something. I can simply hope to wake up from all of this. So it's a very, so there is a moment of Can I help in the dream but at the same time, there is knowledge that this is not the only reality and this is. So Lord Krishna begins by saying, the reality that you bought into ours, you now may not be the only reality. So I just want to see a physical has to know that I've not lost you. And you are with me hands.

Okay, thank you. All right. So in this world, we either worry about the people who are living, or we worry about the people who are dead, right? Or we worry about the people who are in between this era, Barack Obama and I was reading about the living people who he thought might become dead. And he was feeling like, Oh, you know, I'm I'm going to be somebody who was and I'm very involved and you know, I'm responsible thing to do. I should be so worried.

But Lord Krishna comes, he just kind of probably Like a stack he lifts the curtain a whole nother paradigm and word by word is important for you to know so he's shaped one watch I mean so Lord said klom Cloud means view calm under a short shot Russia you are grieving. You know, I showed you and for those who should not be for because they are complete a powerful unto themselves there is no self which is a victim and there is no self which is an abuser at the end of the day. This is all a Lima, a play going on. We'll understand why it's extra later on. And and then he says, funded by men. I'm not sure gente Do not grieve better sunako for the dead.

Cha about oh the time Who not and for the middle? What does it mean? That people who understand a certain kind of knowledge, do not grieve, period. Now this is not spiritual bypassing, I'm not talking about, oh, I'm a wise person, I'm just gonna stick my grief under the carpet and pretend like I'm enlightened. He is not saying that because remember, there are three levels of speech, there actually comes a time when one starts recognizing a greater paradigm to what is manifest right now in front of us. And once we realize that higher reality, the comings and goings and the losses and the joys and the oops moments or the aha moments, don't carry that level of importance anymore.

It's almost like when you were in a dream world, and you were sitting next to a dead body and lamenting because you knew that the dead body was the body of something deliver to you. And in that dream they had died. And you were really, you know, sorrowful, the TreeView were lamenting, you were miserable. And in fact, you were limiting so much that even your living body that was asleep, could feel the you know, the emotions were coming from the dream world and affecting your living body. You were, you were full of samsaric sorrow at that moment, but then you realize it's a dream. And then that dead body was still there, but you will stop.

And then when you woke up from that dream, you are no longer lamenting for that dead body. So there actually is an invitation for us on the table by Lord Krishna, to wake up from this living dream. Also, not just the dream you have at night, but the dream that you wake up to after you're woken up from your bed. And even this is not the ultimate reality because there are three realities. One is a reality that we all share right now that we are having here, then there is a private reality that we all dream or think about privately. And we will fluctuate between the two.

For example, right now we're all talking about Zika. But one or two of you might be thinking if your dog has eaten or not. So you might go off and do your own private reality, then every night, you all go off into your private realities in your dreams. And you again, wake up and come back to the common reality. You see an email from so I'm saying, tonight, so we all have this common reality, but even this common reality is very real. It feels so real.

I can touch my laptop and I can feel it's cool and it's whatever, smooth. But then the reality in your dream file the same way you could touch your laptop and Type or Type your manuscript in your dream. In fact, some of us write books and dreams, not in real life. Some of us right here, not there. So it's like that reality. went viral that dream existed was absolutely real.

See, if somebody inside your dream came to you and said, Come on, it's a dream, and you are not ready to wake up. Are you crazy? Are you crazy? This is a dream. I have to work very hard. And that dream.

Everything is as real in the dream, your dream Eagle. Similarly, when you wake up from that dream into this, and I don't know if this is more real, or that's more real, because when you are there, you don't remember this slide. When you are in this slide, you forget those lines. But anyway, we all somehow come from our private sojourn into the slide, okay? This is called a yarmulke reality that was called brokenhearted reality. So we can call the dream reality, and we can call it fake reality.

But and this vague reality now for all of you seems very real and many of you even have a guru in your reality and definitely Big reality has one advantage that there is a continuing threat of time space continuum. And where is it a dream reality time space can be anything. There's an advantage there too, because you can use the bed The Departed you can have visions from Baba. So, you can have all that there those benefits are in that reality. There are certain benefits in this reality some of the benefits of it in this reality. So you are here.

But now the doctor says there is a term here known as per martica reality and we all have to wake up to that reality. And in that reality when you wake up while in this reality you wake up then all everything in this reality will start stop mattering because you will realize that there is really nobody dying, nobody being gone and you will begin to see the tree like existence. So therefore, he begins with a confusing statement for unless you have a teacher to point out to you, what's going on what's behind this? And when he says you're grieving for those who should not be grieved for some, sometimes it is interpreted as Verona and Bhisma not worth reading for No, no, what he's saying is grieving is giving is completely optional. This and, and that all as well. Actually, that's what he's saying.

And so, all these topics will gap. Remember, we have many, many more chapters and things will become clear slowly, slowly, but this is what he is saying. So he's saying that the findings are the one they use who use cambia who use their discernment facility to understand the piano. They do not Cry. So I just chanted for you, it says. So the Lord continues in chapter one Arjuna continues all the time, but in this Now fortunately Lord continues and he says, not waver.

Now some nakum Namie Jana Deepa Mehta, a Ba ba ba Sharma Ha. So the very bottom, and it's really beautiful in this he says that law law is saying that there was never a time. There was never there was never a time when I was not there. And you were not there. There was never a time. So you know, we think you and I think oh, I was born in 1965.

So this is not what are coming and going, you're always there. There was never a time when I was not there in the past, and you are not there in the car. And even these pods of these kings are not there are all of us are these kings are not at the future. This is also not true again, Lord is explaining in a complex, roundabout manner that we think is complex and roundabout because we don't understand what the Lord is explaining correctly. You just leave and he's actually explaining one word through this entire shloka and the word is called Nithya. That which has neither beginning nor end, that which is always is that pure existence which is ourselves.

So in this show, car when I come back in January, I will teach you about what we think we are because version that we've had, what do you think we are? And what do you think we're not and you know and then who are me. So I read she basically starts teaching about Othman here and and then in the third and then as a 13 month he talks about how the body changes from you know childhood to youth to old age and then adapted just simply just like it has gone through these changes at death changes and other body just like it changes clothes. So it's a beautiful teaching on on how this this pure existence which is ourselves, is taking on taking on bodies likely their claws and taking them off likely their claws into beautiful, poetic slow cars. They feel complex, but they are going to plant within you and understand thing that is ultimately going to teach you about something knowing which all grease dries up.

When I was a student like you have a teacher, and I had many sorrows in my life, one of them was on mother's death. Another one was my sister that and you know these kind of songs, we all have them and nothing special with me somebody has something somebody or something. But gradually, the more I have dwelled upon this highest knowledge and I've not read upon it for one day or two things become part of my ongoing contemplation I have noticed that there is an ease and I sense of Freedom and a great smile in spite of the losses so that's what I want to share. Thank you everyone. Let us end with acid Omar said Camilla. This month from cleared our neck Punisher is truly such a teacher.

In dialogue also we are moving from what is a sub material to what is September month. We are moving from darkness of ignorance in our mind to light which is knowledge of who am I and we are moving from our identification with our mortal body. I will die this will die I will kill I will not. I don't want to kill all this confusion to acting from a place of I Am. This is the whole Oh Kamiya Tommaso Rama, Rama Oh, Sean, Sean. OC.

Yeah, my everyone. It was such a joy to be teaching about working class before I leave the country. Yeah, I feel blessed when I teach it less by the Lord. Okay, love you all. Take care. Bye
