Bondage & Liberation - Day 3 - Talk in English by Swami Aparajitananda, Chinmaya Mission Chicago.
Swamiji, at the beginning of the lecture, resolves the seeming contradiction between Verse 1 and Verse 3. In Verse 1, Veda mantras are metaphorically compared to leaves (as leaves nourish the tree and hide its ugliness). In the 3rd verse, the Lord instructs the tree to be cut from its roots.
He explains how the karmakāṇḍa portion nourishes the tree, while the Jñānakāṇḍa portion instructs one to be desireless and chops off the tree. Continuing the discussion on making the mind desireless, he emphasizes how to educate the mind so that vairagya in you will help in giving up the world, and bhakti will help in experiencing bliss.
He elaborates on how to perform nididhyāsana, providing numerous tips to value consciousness rather than the world during this practice. He discusses the problems faced during nididhyāsana and offers guidance on handling them.
The most important quality of a sadhakā that aids in nididhyāsana is prapati, the attitude of surrender. He warns against living a passive life under the shelter of surrender and defines the dynamic nature of surrender.
Swamiji outlines things that God does not like, including living an egoistic life, harboring hate towards others, being selfish, and anything that disturbs the mind. He emphasizes that the liquidation of ego is what God prefers.
To underscore the importance of spirituality, he beautifully contrasts the miserable biography of a worldly person with the blissful life experience of a spiritual person.
He concludes this three-day talk with a clear message to seek the Lord of the universe within ourselves and attain liberation.
Pranam Swamiji,very grateful to listen to your words of wisdom!It’s so inspiring !
Hari om Swamiji 🕉

Pranams guruji.🙏🙏🙏
Perfect steps to follow from bondage to liberation !!!
While living be a jeevanmukt
After death be a videhmukt !!!
HOW ?
What do scriptures have to say ?
Meditate,MEDITATE ,meditation is the only way.
If mind is impure,boredom ,agitation n sleep surround.
Be desireless,develop bhakti feel God's presence around.
Remember,when you identify with thoughts they multiply.
But when you witness thoughts, they die.
Shift from karm to jnana kand n the mind becomes lighter.
Drishti from vyashti becomes samashti as the mind goes higher.
The higher mind enjoys bliss,clears all confusion,all agitation.
SURRENDER ! Connect to conciousness,n free from bondage to liberation !!!
Regards n Pranams .
