JEWELS of "GEETHA"....No:9

Sadguru Shree Morari Babuji Maharaj
" Na Thadha Me Priyathama Atmayonir Na Shankaraha:,
Na Cha Sankarshano Na Srirnaivatmana cha Yadha Bhavan"

We said that we have to become devoted to Lord Krishna, because He is the "Bhaktha Paradenaha", He takes care of His Bhakthas all the times. In His own words Lord says that " Uddhava, whom I love the most, you know?" and further says that "it is not Brahma, not even Balarama, and not Lord Siva also. My Lakshmy devi is also not the best I love, and certainly not My own Self, but I love you, my Bhaktha the most." He even says that He does not reside in Vaikunta nor in the hearts of Munies, but where my Bhakthas sing my praises. That means He resides in our hearts, in the Bhaktha's Hearts. What these Bhakthas are doing for Him to be near them always, Krishna says that they attract me with their magnetic power, the Bhakthi, just as the devoted wives attract their devoted husbands.."......Vaseekurvanthi Mam Bhakthya Satstriya: Sat Pathim Yada". So to become a Bhaktha and go to the "Brahmam" one needs to purify his mind with the Nishta of Karmayoga and once he becomes endowed with a tranquil mind, he soon reaches the Lord. So we have to renounce all our actions, but how.....the Bhagawan says.......................................
" Sarva Karmani Manasa Sanyasyasthe Sukham Vasi,
Navadware Pure Dehi Naiva Kurvan Na Karayan."-5/13
[Having renounced all the actions, mentally,by discriminative knowledge the embodied one,the self controlled man, the wise man, with senses under control rests happily in the city of nine gates,neither doing any actions nor causing another one to act.]

This is the state of a Gnani to abide in the knowledge of the Self. As he knows that this Atma of his is an
Akartha a non-doer and whatever action done is by this body. This is the Sanyasi in the real sense. The Sanyasi renounces all his actions by this discriminative knowledge,and keeps the senses under control. The renunciation of actions is really the renunciation of Kartrutwa or the sense of doership and so even while appearing to perform all the normal actions such as seeing, hearing,touching etc.,he really does not do anything.He is a sanyasi in spite of apparently performing all the actions because he is not associated with the motions of the sense organs and hence he rests happily in his body effortlessly abiding in himself. The city of Navadwaras, our body containing two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, the mouth, anus, and the urinary, is the resting place for our Atma.Since Atma is an Akartha, it does not act nor causes another to act. It does not take part in the Motions of actions of self or others. Once we understand this fact we can live with peaceful minds without getting affected by the Karmas,actions and the results of Karmas, Karmaphalams of our own self or that of others. Whatever actions we do, they are done by the sensory organs and not by our souls. So why to worry about the actions, good or bad? So our earlier question that "how can the one who knows the Self as indestructible, changeless, without birth and free from modifications kill anyone or cause anyone to kill". That statement is fulfilled in this verse which says that the wise man does not act, nor does he cause anyone to act.
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA, RAMA RAMA HARE HARE,
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE.
