GITA 108 DAYS - DAY 28
28. Commercial mind cannot see Yagya
A mind immersed in commercial aspects of everything will not be able to attain the yagya spirit. We see everything with the eye of a seller, even flowers. Just think about us before the birth. Water, earth, air, sun and the moon did so many things for us to be born. It was through their unselfish submission that we came in to this world.
'This' is not mine, even this entity ‘me’ is not mine. Universe created me and I belong to the universe. This indeed is yagya. Just saying ‘swaaha!’ after spreading bricks will not constitute yagya. Karma precedes yagya and from yagya comes the rain. Rain is the cause for food (annam). It is from annam everything has been formed. Annam indeed is the mind. Words are formed with the energy of annam.
Karma is born out of Brahman and the Brahman is born out of the imperishable supreme self (param atma). Thus Brahman is founded on yagya.
Life of a person is futile if he doesn’t follow this cycle of karma (karma charka). By knowing this, there isn’t 'anything' to be done to gain 'something' or there isn’t 'anything' to be missed by not doing 'something'. He is the karma and the result of karma (karma phala). There is no commercial mind here to give and take.
Do not reject whatever the universe has given us, at the same time, do not covet something that the other person has been gifted by the nature. So, if we continue with our work with diligence, without attachment, we will sure get liberation. ‘How’ we do something is more important than ‘what’ we do. Make your work a worship.
The Lord is not in the matter, nor is the matter in the Lord. EVERYTHING IS LORD. Whatever remains after removing the names and forms is the Lord, because names and forms conceal the Truth. Except in the supreme self, everything is different and unreal.
