brahmasthiti

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.

  1. "He who sees inaction in action, and action
    in inaction, he is wise among men, he is harmonious,even while performing all action."

    Geeta Ch.(4)(18)

    Well a bit confusing I must say. Not your post my dear Trisha, but the above shloka. How can we see action in inaction and inaction in action?

    Do you have any idea? This is the real nature of the liberated souls, the Geeta says.

    Your post is nice. It explains how a person is established in truth and remains so.

    Good one.

  2. interesting concept.. well, when a person rises above the need of doing, knowing and getting..but he performs his duties perfectly, he is certainly liberated.

  3. this concept says that when a person treats the duty and rest with the same nonchalance he is truly wise.

    he performs his duty perfectly but he treats his works as nothing.. if we dont do any thing we will be completely nonchalant about it, right? we simply wont expect any thing out of it.. it will be zero investment for us..

    i think only sages can think this way :)

  4. Dear Trisha

    Your approach seems beautifully true:)

    To imagine action in the same way as inaction based only on their fruits. Inaction does not result it any fruits as you rightly mention. We thus do not expect anything from it too. If we carry the same frame of mind to our actions in respect of their fruits its possible to achieve nonchalance as you say.

    Yes its true only sages can go to that length :)
