“There is a greatness in taking birth as a life of Human being and its living” BHAGAVAD GITA 3.27 THE YOGA OF ACTION Prakriteh kriyamaanaani gunaih karmaani sarvashah; Ahamkaaravimoodhaatmaa kartaaham iti manyate. 27. All actions are wrought in all cases by the qualities of Nature only. He whose mind is deluded by egoism thinks: “I am the doer”. COMMENTARY: Prakriti or Nature is that state in which the three Gunas exist in a state of equilibrium. When this equilibrium is disturbed, creation begins and the body, senses and mind are formed. The man who is deluded by egoism identifies the Self with the body, mind, the life-force and the senses, and ascribes to the Self all the attributes of the body and the senses. In reality the Gunas of nature perform all actions. BHAGAVAD GITA 3.42-43 THE YOGA OF ACTION Indriyaani paraanyaahur indriyebhyah param manah; Manasastu paraa buddhir yo buddheh paratastu sah. 42. They say that the senses are superior (to the body); superior to the senses is the mind; superior to the mind is the intellect; and one who is superior even to the intellect is He—the Self. Evam buddheh param buddhwaa samstabhyaatmaanam aatmanaa; Jahi shatrum mahaabaaho kaamaroopam duraasadam. 43. Thus, knowing Him who is superior to the intellect and restraining the self by the Self, slay thou, O mighty-armed Arjuna, the enemy in the form of desire, hard to conquer! COMMENTARY: Restrain the lower self by the higher Self. Subdue the lower mind by the higher mind. It is difficult to conquer desire because it is of a highly complex and incomprehensible nature. But a man of discrimination and dispassion, who does constant and intense Sadhana, can conquer it quite easily. As per Srimad Bhagat Geeta our body is a Kshetra’ a fertile land yielding fruits for positive purposes enjoyable by all in the Society, including the Self. Our body is nothing but a spiritual instrument, same is not to be considered as of low-graded Engine for satiating material enjoyments. There is a greatness in taking birth as a life of Human being and its living. Human being having an higher intellect to control the entire ecosystem and animal kingdom of the world and the very purpose of human life is not of mere satisfying the living comforts. Engaging ourselves in selfishness is opposite to universal positive principle of human life and those who follow and abrogate the Natural Principles of life n living they are destine to suffer with spiritual disgrace leading to deceases as it is well known medical theory that there is no treatment in the known sciences to mankind for his spiritual enlightenment through prescribed medicines. Many deceases evolve from life style orientations whose treatment is lies with the Self-Controle. By N. Kishore Kumar Patnaik A Societal Saint
