The Right Application

4-26 The senses are made best use of for the adoration of the Almighty.

5-06. Sanyasa, is hard to attain to without karma yoga; the man of meditation, purified by karma yoga quickly goes to Brahman.

5- 27 & 28 Shutting out external objects, fixing the gaze between the eyebrows, equalizing the outward and inward breaths moving in the nostrils, the sage who has controlled the senses, mind and intellect, who is solely pursuing liberation, who has cast away desire, fear and anger, he verily is liberated.

6-04. 1. when, having renounced all Sankalpas, one does not get attached to sense-objects and actions. 2. Deep dhyana or the meditation of the yogi develops into samadhi or Enlightenment. In this state, the external world which is the projection of the mind; is no more for him. 3. There is no mentation in him to manipulate the senses. As in sound sleep, so in his self-sufficiency and beatitude of samadhi the obligatory duties even get suspended, Freed from sankalpa, his mind is calm like an ocean without waves.

6-05. Let a man raise himself by his own self; let him not debase himself. For he is himself his friend, himself his foe. By right understanding and right conduct he elevates himself and thereby becomes his own friend.

6-06. To him who has conquered his (base) self by the (divine) self, his own self is the friend; but to him who has not subdued the self, his own self acts as the foe. Where the body, mind and senses are under perfect control, the divine nature prevails and pulls the man up. Progressively he evolves into high orders of existence.

6-10. A yogi should always try to concentrate his mind living alone in solitude, having subdued his mind and body and got rid of desires and possessions. 1. If the mind chooses to commune with the Divine, instead, it augurs शुभ संकेत well for it. 2. He is a yogi who has learnt to make proper use of the body and to keep it quiet at his will. 3. Quieting down the body and mind is meditation. 4. He is a yogi who has reduced his bodily needs to the bare minimum.

4-25 surrender the individual consciousness to the Cosmic Consciousness. Crucifying the ego, the apparent man becoming the real man - This solemn act is verily jnana-yajna.

3-19. Constantly perform your obligatory duty without attachment; for, by doing duty without attachment man verily obtains the supreme.

3-15. Having come out of Brahman (the super cosmic Intelligence), this cosmos itself beams with intelligence. When Karma is performed perfectly and with the best of motive it becomes Yajna.

3-14. Work performed with right frame of mind gets converted into Yajna. The effect of that work assumes a subtle force = apurva. It is thought or the feeling that really constitutes the mental force - mantra. The purer the man and his motive, the stronger is the mental force. It is the intensity of the force of mind that becomes apurva.

3-13. Engages himself daily in the five great Yajna, all five of them form his nitya karma - obligatory work. 1. Dev Yajna 2. Rishi Yajna 3. Pitru Yajna 4. Nara Yajna 5. Bhuta Yajna.

3-12. "Cherished by Yajan, the Devas (the senses) shall bestow on you the enjoyments you desire."

3-11. Cherish the Deva (the senses (In Human) + Cosmic force (Sun God, Wind God etc.) with this; and may those Deva cherish you; thus cherishing one another, you shall reap the supreme God. Deva is the one that is shining. They are shining in their own way and they bring light to the dweller in the body.

3-07. He excels, who, restraining the senses by mind, unattached, directs his organs of action to the path of work.

3-04. Desireless action is the sure means to reach actionlessness.

2-38 Treating alike pain and pleasure, gain and loss, victory and defeat, engage yourself in the battle.
