Bhaj Govindam This is an important verse for all of us. Many a times I have heard people mentioning the names of many realised souls, and use them as an example to justify their own indulgence in life - Saying that they also indulge. On the other hand, the other extreme is also true, where people quote the example of fakirs who just wander around and feel that by aping them, they will also get realisation.The irony is, they don't realise that what they see is the final out come, the end and not the means. They fail to see that, ones one experiences God, no matter what the situation outside, the inner self dwells in the divine bliss. He could be sitting in Yoga or Indulging in Bhog, he could be alone or in a crowd, he remains established in his true Sat Chit Anand Swaroop.For, this realised one sees bhog in yog and yog in bhog. In the crowd or alone he is always in ekanth. Verse 19योगरतो वाभोगरतोवा, सङ्गरतो वा सङ्गवीहिनः।यस्य ब्रह्मणि रमते चित्तं, नन्दति नन्दति नन्दत्येव॥कोई योग में लगा हो या भोग में, संग में आसक्त हो या निसंग हो, पर जिसका मन ब्रह्म में लगा है वो ही आनंद करता है, आनंद ही करता है॥Yogarato Va Bhogarato VaSangarato Va SangavihinahYasya Brahmani Ramate CittamNandati Nandati NandatyevaThe nineteenth verse said to me - Shruti Says🌷Immersed in Yoga (Penance or Tapa),or Indulging in Bhog (material world),or in the crowd (in the midst of worldly relations),or alone (silently sitting in a isolated place) ,The one who has become one with Brahman,has experienced Brahman,or the one who only sees Brahman,revels in divine bliss/anand always.——————————If we go to cremation ground, we see the body is put on the fire and it is burning away. The Body is burning and so is the wood on which the body has been put, it is all buring alike. The person/ Chandal, holds a stick and keeps putting the the wood which falls off or the body part which fall off back into the fire pyre. Till all of it is properly burnt. In the end he also puts the stick which he was holding into the fire. Why? Because the job of the stick is done, the wood and body alike all burnt, all ash and not the stick is no longer needed.What is this stick? A thing that keeps reminding us that ‘I am that’, and initially it is needed the tapas, the sadhan, the penance and when that reminder is no longer, when one is established in the self. This stick can be thrown as well.The stick is all that we do reach this state. Reading the scriptures , chanting, Japa, Tapa etc is a way of removing the over bearing conditioning and developing the spiritual muscle, and when that has been developed, and the realisation happens both the spiritual practice and the ego is dropped. We don’t remain anymore, it is all that divine and for that, to be in the own self, nothing is needed.Now, for some gyanis or the awakened ones the material world is nothing at all, they roam around as recluse.For others, they have to be in some kind of activity, they have to be working in the material world, and no one can guess their level of realisation.There could be yet others, who could be having families and friends and totally come across as average indulging people, again no on can guess their level of realisation also.In other words they come in all shapes and sizes. Who will know the elevated state of these people, only those who have this urge to realise the divine, they will be drawn to any one of the above and will know, as their need to know the truth will draw them to the realised ones. They will be able to smell the love that emanates, because...
