Realty

Three good threads are being discussed here….1.Almighty/.Brahma/jeeva satya [ true ] , prakrati/jagat mithya [ false ]2.Austerity/tapa VS yoga , which is superior3. Krsns opinionIn the childhood , mother shows the child pointing towards the moon , see an old woman is making cloth beneath the banyan tree , this proved wrong as there was no prakriti/jagat at moon but the man/jeeva was true there, similarly as mirage is not true but sun rays are true .Definition of tapa is as follows..Austerity is conduciveto joy and puts an end to sorrow and evils. By virtue of penance the Creator creats theuniverse. By virtue of penance vishnu protects the whole world. By virtue of penance shambhubrings about dissolution. In fact, the entire creation rests on penance.Bearing this in mind, go and practise austerity .Now Krsn tells about tapa and yoga…Ye twaksharamanirdeshyamavyaktam paryupaasate;Sarvatragamachintyam cha kootasthamachalam dhruvam.Those who worship the imperishable, the indefinable, the unmanifested, the omnipresent,the unthinkable, the eternal and the immovable,Samniyamyendriyagraamam sarvatra samabuddhayah;Te praapnuvanti maameva sarvabhootahite rataah.Having restrained all the senses, even-minded everywhere, intent on the welfare of allbeings—verily they also come unto Me.Klesho’dhikatarasteshaam avyaktaasaktachetasaam;Avyaktaa hi gatirduhkham dehavadbhiravaapyate.Greater is their trouble whose minds are set on the Unmanifested; for the goal—theUnmanifested—is very difficult for the embodied to reach.The embodied—those who identify themselves with their bodies. Theimperishable Self is very hard to reach for those who are attached to their bodies. Their restlessminds will not be able to get fixed on the attributeless Self.This is tapa and…..Ye tu sarvaani karmaani mayi sannyasya matparaah;Ananyenaiva yogena maam dhyaayanta upaasate.But to those who worship Me, renouncing all actions in Me, regarding Me as the supremegoal, meditating on Me with single-minded YogaThis is yoga .So what is the realty…..Shreyaan dravyamayaadyajnaaj jnaanayajnah parantapa;Sarvam karmaakhilam paartha jnaane parisamaapyate.Superior is wisdom-sacrifice to sacrifice with objects, O Parantapa! All actions in theirentirety, O Arjuna, culminate in knowledge!Adhyeshyate cha ya imam dharmyam samvaadamaavayoh;Jnaanayajnena tenaaham ishtah syaamiti me matih.And he who will study this sacred dialogue of ours, by him I shall have been worshippedby the sacrifice of wisdom; such is My conviction [ not opinion ]Mayyaaveshya mano ye maam nityayuktaa upaasate;Shraddhayaa parayopetaaste me yuktatamaa mataah.The Blessed Lord said:. Those who, fixing their minds on Me, worship Me, ever steadfast and endowed withsupreme faith, these are the best in Yoga in My opinion.
