yog

What is Yog as per Shreemadbhagvat:

Yoga means the end of pursuing the means of physical welfare or pleasure (which are termed as the reason behind suffering) and creating a permanent connection (yog) with God.

That is the natural thing, the pursuing of physical pleasure by human beings is not the real human self (its called maya), the real human self is being stable in God.

So snapping off the connection with maya and connecting permanently with God is called Yog.

This permanent connection if achieved through work/service then it is named as Karmayog.

If it is achieved through knowledge then it is gyanyog.

If it is achieved through love for God then it is bhaktiyog.

If it is achieved through harmonisation of world then it is called layayog.

If it is achieved through pranayam then it is hathayog and

If it is done through self control etc then it is called ashtangayog.

immortal soul

Shreemadbhawat says: no one can destroy the immortal soul because it is indestructible. Its spread throughout the world. Nothing can destroy the soul.

mortal and immortal

Shreemadbhawat says: a mortal thing doesnot exists and an immortal thing is never destroyed.

Body never existed before/after death, it is never stable, its forever changing..heading toward death. So we can clearly see that it is not stable, never stable in one place. Or we can say it never exists in one specific form, as it changes before we can even clearly realize that form..it starts as a baby and at a rapid, uncontrolled way heads toward death, changing every second.

On the other hand, soul is never destroyed. It is/was and will be always here. It only changes the body.

Happy in adversity and prosperity.

Shreemadbhawat says: The person who is equally calm in happiness & sorrow,who is not moved by these feelings becomes immortal.

Human life is not to enjoy petty happiness and sorrow, but to rise above these and surrender oneself to the endless joy and happiness derived from surrendering to God.

The person who becomes nonchalant to happiness and sorrow by surrendering to God reaches immortality.

His heart is stable in God, hence he does not feels ecstassy, arrogancy or addiction when every thing is happening in his favour.

He doesnot feels pain, anguish or frustration when everything is going against him.

He knows the only thing stable in this world is his soul and its connection to God, every thing else will come and go, and will be left behind.

right to perform

You have right to only do the work, you have no right on the results, don’t be the reason behind results, don’t abstain from work.

Shreemadbhagwat says you have right to only perform, you should not look at the outputs, dont try to perform with motive of self satisfaction behind it, nor should you try to abstain from work, thinking it will save you from being obsessed with positive output of your works.

You should work, without the motive of personal gain, you should work for human kind and be nonchalant to the output. completely oblivious about their positive or negative results.
