This lecture series is based on Chapter 15 of Gita.
In this short talk of an hour and ten minutes, Swamiji answers many questions of the sadhakas, gives advice and techniques for meditation.
• Why should we not desire the world?
• Why should we desire God?
• Do we get whatever we desire?
• What happens when we desire the world?
o Is giving up our status as parmatma and taking up the status of jivatma a comedy or tragedy?
• What is the problem in desiring the world?
• Is it right to give up reality for illusion?
• Does limitation mean sorrow?
• What is the nature of ego - dukham?
• Does unlimited desires mean unlimited births?
• Where does the ashvattha described in the verse, exist? We nourish by desiring the world. Vasanas are deep-rooted.
• For liberation, we do not have to understand the past, but just chop off this tree with the weapons of non-attachment.
• Through attachment we entered the samsara; through non-attachment we can escape it.
• How should detachment be practised?
• Understand the nature of the mind that craves for happiness.
• Educating the mind in the right way will help in developing Vairagya.
• Stop the mind from going to the world. Then what should we do with the mind?
• How do we inquire into our higher state?
• What is the difference between suppression and sublimation?
• When the mind experiences higher joys, it will automatically drop lower joys.
• Meditation techniques at the seat of meditation.
• What does a wandering mind at the seat of meditation symbolise?
• The only obstacle we face at the seat of meditation is OUR OWN MIND.
• Success in meditation depends on whether we give importance to worldly or godly thoughts.
• Quiet mind is no mind.
• What is the difference between experiential knowledge and knowledge gathered through listening?
• The one with experiential knowledge cannot desire the world; hence, there will be no more births for him.

Hari Om Swamiji.
The word,"asaṅga-śhastreṇa dṛiḍhena chhittvā" removes desires, leading to perfect meditation.
We get what we desire because we are Parmatma.
Wrapped in fulfilled n unfulfilled desires becomes Jivatma.
Choose higher
joys,donate,educate,meditate n prepare the mind.
Lower vasanas will fade with experiential knowledge,supreme bliss you find.
Initial pleasure in desires will later bring poison n must refrain.
Be a mumukshu,shift attention with weapon of desirelessness which will remove suffering n pain.
Thus attains the state from imperfection to perfection.
Through Vairagya born out of vivek will lead to the gates of liberation !!!
Regards n pranams.

Realisation-There is no option for spirituality you have to take it if not in this birth may be after thousands and millions of birth but you have to take it....because this material limitations don't give you happiness you want you are unlimited so your want of happiness is unlimited and your swarup is sat chit ananda how can you satisfy yourself in this material world for that you have to take it spirituality
Narayan narayan thanks maharaj
IHowever, the question come up. Following this path, how do we achieve material things? Material things may not be the ultimate. However, we have certain responsibilities towards our family members. They require a good house to stay in, they require a good school and many more such things. In the name of liberation, I cannot leave them. How to acquire those skills to acquire the materialistic wealth but following the spiritual path?
Hari Aum Swamiji , what if any of your loved ones is always bringing the past and making you feel guilty and reminding you of what you were as a person in the past no matter even if you keep quiet and not react , still you need to allow them to keep saying. Its good for you to be tolerant and insults are good to destroy your ego but if its always happening what should you do . Is showing vairagya to such person is wrong too ?
