Remember These THREE THINGS When You Ask God for Something | Swami Mukundananda

When people ask God for something, they primarily choose one of the following two options:
1. worldly enjoyment; 2. liberation from the cycle of life and death. But there is something higher than these two and one should aim to attain it. What is it? What are the conditions to attain it? Watch this video to learn more.

Earlier I used to ask God for Moksh.. but now after listening to u.. I just desire bliss of God

Swamiji, we don't know English but your words are very beautiful, Jai Ho Aapki

Mukti is self serving, while Bhakti is serving for God's happiness.

[@smitamehtadenton]

Most people choose bhukti (i.e., worldly pleasures to gratify the five senses) or mukti (i.e., liberation from the miseries presented by Maya) when given a choice. They do not know there is something higher, which is bhakti. If we ask for bhakti (i.e., divine love of God), not only does it enslave God but it also brings mukti along with it. There is a difference between the desire to escape miseries vs. relishing the bliss of God. Wow, thank you, Swamiji.

[@lipisindiancuisine4282]

In Gods realm "Bhakti" is considered higher than "Mukti"

[@abhilashapriya1005]

One of the supreme lecture by Swami ji!

[@sushantakumarmohanty4625]

If you get Bhakti, the Mukti will come offering service .

[@anitaramanna7506]

Mukti is a byproduct of the consequence of Bhakti, I never heard of it before from any Guruji, thanks to swamiji for giving such a clarity 🙏

[@bineet520]

Hare Krishna

[@sudhansuranjanmohapatra6429]

Truly , this is one of the most profound gospel. As a Hindu , I believed that mukti should be ultimate goal but it was intriguing to learn that mukti should not be sought for reasons so lucidely explained by Swamiji. This eye opening video must be watched by all .

[@nehapatadia2385]

If we ask for anything other then Bhakti , we will remain in this mayajaal and never be free.

[@sandhyadas6323]

We are the eternal part of God and He has sent us to serve Him. But we have forgotten our true self and kept ourselves in the trap of maya. All the Desires in this material realm are self seeking, never ending and never give us true satisfaction. Yet we are begging and begging so many material things to God from endless life time. Only when we align our desire with the desire of God and guru we get permanent happiness. So nice explanation by Swamiji!

[@pravinvenkatraman3168]

And I have been thinking Mukti is the highest one can ask for. Thanks for enlightening us on Bhakti!

[@Geetanjali-inspired]

Well said swamiji.... 1. Give up desires for bhukti...(give up worldly material desires... ) 2. Give up desire for mukti... Actually we must not keep any desires...we are ultimately lord's creation he's the director of our world drama we merely actors must follow the directions of the director n act accordingly as per lord's instructions he's our master of our lives so why question the master Lord...let me be part of his world drama n let me be instrumental n let lord utilise me the way lord wants...no question must we put to our master lord 🙏

Sir i wanted to tell you that, it was my ancestor maharishi kapila chari my great grand father that created samkhya yog, my ancestors and my surname kapilsh is the meagre evidence but I believe i am, i wish i could leave everything and everyone and come under the guidance of a knowledgeable person like you but im trapped by the maya of boards for now, i know i am facing one of the most emotionally turbulent times of my life but my wish is unusual, i wish this level of suffering in me increases to those heights that i do not deserve and are unaffordable by my mind and body because that would be the only way out of this sansaar and into realisation that i need sanyaas for me. The grips of kaliyug and the knowledge of getting rid of all sins is contradictory and i am failing at everything. I shall soon find a way to witness all 64 dimensions and pass

"Bhukti" is the desire to enjoy worldly happiness which is most often the wish of a human being.

[@ramagujral4019]

Surrender to the Will of God.

[@radhikatripathy9375]

Since we have only one mind and if it gets attached to the wordly desire how will we do Bhakti?

[@bhaktilectures4098]

As we practice and slowly attach our mind to God and Guru, our mind will automatically get detached from the world, to the exact same extent. If our attachment to God reaches 10%, our detachment from the world will also reach 10%. When our mind becomes 50% attached to God, the rest of the journey will get relatively easier. 50% attachment is a big milestone for a sadhak or a spiritual aspirant. We need to put maximum effort at the initial stage.

[@simmychaplot667]

All we can think about is how the self will get happiness... Wondering if we need to give up our feeling of feeling happy which is usually a result of fulfillment of a desire...Thanks so much for this thought provoking message!
