Brahmagyan

When a sadhak is stable in brahma he is free from desire, lust, addiction and ownership tendency.

This shloka of geeta says:

When a person invokes brahmagyan inside himself he gets stable within brahma. He never again gets addicted to material pleasures.

When a person is stable in Brahma he is free from desire, lust, addiction and ownership tendency. This is called the condition of a person with brahmagyan, brahmisthiti. A person who has realized what brahma (God) is and is now stable in Brahma (brahmi+sthiti)

As he loses all addiction toward material world his wisdom automatically shifts to Brahma and becomes stable there. He never gets addicted to material world again.

  2. Oh , dear Trisha, Another thing,

    I will read your lovely stories in a phased manner and say my thing on them. They are a bit long to take it at one go. I have made a few comments already. You would not feel bad if some of them are analytical would you?

  3. dear sam,

    these are all for karmayogis.. guidelines of living fully in the society without pain/anguish/despair etc..

    complete achievement of these is not possible for you and me, but we can start from below and see how much we can reach, or just let life control us.

  5. Okay I will be careful from now onwards :)

    I know I can be a little fresh at times. But I have trust in your wonderful heart to take it as such and not be sad if I inadvertently say something to upset you. :)

    We are friends and friends can even quarrel remember?
    :)

  7. I know your heart is beautiful dear Trisha, I would not want to harm it in any manner :)

    I was worried about you, there was no activity in your blogs for some time. Tried to Console myself that it was because of Navraatri. But it was of no use.

    I am happy to see you back and blogging again. What happened?

    I have to lave my Email Id here, just in case. Just mention the time span you will be away, like "away for a week". Would you do that, if consider me a friend :)

  8. dear sam,

    i am really happy to know that you care that much about me. i will send you a mail from my gmail account.

    my disappearance was surprise to me too.. :) the monitor crashed.

    if i will ever be away for a week i certainly will let you know.. chances are very slim.

    hope you relished the navratras like i relished the durgapuja even without my computer.

    take care,

  9. Dear Trisha,

    I do care about you. I was quite worried in fact. Thank you for promising to let me know of any such sudden future silences.

    I read of your trouble with the monitor in Surayagni today. I know from my experience that such things can be totally frustrating.

    Any way I am glad that it was a blessing in disguise. You got time to read the Geeta and your favorite author. It was also nice to get the monitor as a puja gift too. All in all your puja vacation did not go all that bad :)

    No such luck for me. Only two days of leave including a sunday, wanted to visit home but could not. Spent the two days reading Desmond Bagely to while away time :)

  10. dear sam,

    i too was a bit surprised that i was not even the least heartbroken this time :)

    the first time when my monitor went black i felt as if my world has gone black :) :)

    this time i just opened my window and invited the real world in..

    and that has become a habit, now i have stopped surfing during day hours.. the addiction is gone :)

    it really was a blessing in disguise.

    hope you will be able to visit home soon..

  11. Personal life is sacred to me. Everyone has the right to fashion their lives without external influences.

    It’s not like the arts you see, that’s only an activity, there is no effort to mold the character when you say things on it. But personal life…..it’s a forbidden land for me.

    So I am happy for you if the addiction is not troubling you anymore.

  12. That's very nice. Reality is much more potent than the virtual one.

    I am happy the addiction is not troubling you anymore.

  13. dearest sam,

    the addiction was pleasant, just like any other addiction, but i prefer the other options now.. as the fog has cleared from the mind i prefer the sunshine.. :)
