Engaging your mind truly in loving the supreme power is the utmost priority than engaging in physical rituals... Radhey Radhey 🙏

[@sugunapatnaik2868]

Knowledge of something is different , but implementing it is different . We spend hours in physical worship , make pilgrimages but our fickle mind wanders away soon from the object of devotion . Physical involvement is necessary ; but more important is mental alignment to God with faith , surrender and loving adoration . God is happier with our mental attachment .

True form of Bhakti is surrender your intellect completely to God.

[@sume6103]

Swamiji is such a breath of fresh air. I just enjoy every word he has to say. I have his books as well and needless so say they too are beautifully written! Thank you Swamiji for your words of wisdom and encouragement.

[@sanjaybhati6823]

The doer of devotion is the only Mind. We have to engage more and more to our mind on God.

[@anilkumarvr4273]

Absolutely amazing and profound. Thank you Swamiji❤❤❤

[@sandhyadas6323]

The only purpose of human life is to serve God in every way. He sends us here for this purpose only. By coming to this material world we have forgotten our own self and misleading our own mind and intellect.So when we surrender our mind and intellect completely to God,keep Him with us every moment and do all our duties, He guides us , helps us and protects us. Without fear of anything we can do everything perfectly. Swamiji nicely said.

[@newhope5729]

Radhe Radhe❤❤ Concluded nicely 🙏🙏

[@Shivparvati37]

You nicely explained 😊

[@TradingEarning8802]

The idea that God created the world and humans for a specific purpose or to serve God's purpose is a common belief in many religious traditions. However, the nature of that purpose and the reason for the existence of suffering and evil in the world are subjects of much debate and interpretation. Some believe that the challenges and suffering in the world are a test of faith or a means of spiritual growth. Others see them as part of a larger divine plan that is beyond human understanding. Still, others question why a benevolent and all-powerful God would create a world where such suffering exists. Ultimately, the answers to these questions may vary depending on individual beliefs and interpretations. It's a topic that invites deep reflection and contemplation on the nature of existence, the role of God, and the purpose of life.

[@user-ty1ff5kc6u]

Physical bhakti seems all over the world .Mind is not being concentrated.Swamiji awares us to do bhakti with mind. We can do physical bhakti but With mind we do bhakti it is fruitful. Sri Krishna says to offer our mind to Lord and intellect too. No need to go to long distance to visit Lord. Pranams to Swamiji

[@GajananNaik-hs9td]

❤❤❤

[@purvamantri7647]

Surrender to the Supreme Lord by surrendering our intellect. Radhe Radhe 🙏

[@udeshnaemonborah4628]

Gaining knowledge is only part of the journey. True devotion lies in not just acquiring knowledge, but also deeply contemplating it and rigorously implementing it in our daily lives. It's about embodying the teachings and principles we've learned into our actions and behaviors. While reading, listening, and writing are important aspects, they only contribute to about half of our efforts. The other half is completed when we actively apply what we've learned in our day-to-day lives. This integration is what leads to true transformation and spiritual growth.

[@TradingEarning8802]

Pranaam Swamiji! Radhey Radhey 👏 I am writing down all the questions, hoping that if I ever get a chance to meet you face to face, I will definitely ask them all. I have found your way of explaining things to be the most understandable! Very nice content as always!

[@rrsudhir]

We need to be aware all the time that God is within us and have faith in him

[@johnnyortiz606]

Outstanding… Just what I needed!

[@sambugarirekha1066]

Well said by Swamiji that let our thoughts become Godly and let every thought be pleasure of God...tq Swamiji

[@hadinayak1424]

Swamiji explained beautifully, Instead of doing physical Bhakti, we should surrender our mind and intellect to God. Intellect is the Supreme..

[@amritpai1986]

My Guruji has explained so well and in all the lectures he has said that cultivate right and correct belief in the intellect. Once it is done then it is very easy to control the mind. We all have knowledge but the reason we are not utilising the intellect because the belief is still not strong and we are getting trapped in Maya and postponing the path of Spirituality. Utilise the three steps to empower the intellect 1. Shravan 2. Mannan 3. Nidhidhyasan Surrender completely to Guru and God. Follow six rules of surrender and every moment analyse the thoughts and actions with these rules for self-improvement. I guarantee you once you do it everyday then life changes completely. Mine changed and all because of my Guru Swami Mukundananada. I am so fortunate that I am his disciple and under his teaching everyday I am improving. Jai Siya Ram and Hare Krishna

[@user-pb4rc5xl3u]

धन्यवाद गुरु महाराज आज के विचारों से मन के भेद मिट गए हैं🙏🙏🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम

[@swatisharmass9601]

How effortlessly you're explaining ❤

[@vidyavenupawar6364]

Swamiji's logically way of explaining the topic is awesome. God asks us to give our mind and intellect. Our eternal father, our well wisher, care taker....asking us to give something, why there is a need to hesitate? Give it right away keeping staunch faith on Him. He will take care. But ask only one thing "God, give us only devotion so that we love you selflessly for your pleasure".

Radhey Radhey🙏🙏🙏

[@harrykris23]

Very valuable knowledge for today's world. We are running around temples around the country as a checklist as if god is going to verify that and allow us to his divine abode after our time is over in this birth. He knows where our mind has been all the time. You cannot expect an ocean of divine bliss when you offer only a raindrop. Now that does not mean you have to give up everything and go on pilgrimage forever. Just keep watching where your mind is when you say you are doing physical bhakti. You can sit at home and engage in roop dhyan and see how much you can focus on god. Day by day practice it and make it a habit and get involved with more devotional service for the pleasure of god

[@sachintripathi8728]

Radhey Radhey!!In physical Bhakti we are engaged in devotion but the mind is distracted.This is because our intellect doesn’t have faith in God to surrender as it is defective in material conditioned state.When we run our intellect according to divine knowledge and do actions accordingly then the mind automatically is controlled 🙏

[@relaxeverythingisfine5154]

We should do our duty and surrender our intellect to God, it will align perfectly with our actions ❤

[@rajatkumarmahapatra7142]

The actual meanings of 'offering of mind and intellect to God' have been explained so nicely. Really our consciousness will be united with God if we offer these two things to God.

[@krishnatulsi4749]

This bliss of this world is an illusion only, and we are spirits incapable of using our minds to control our senses. In order to fully use this human life and ensure a happy future, it is therefore important to establish a connection with a divine personality that possesses the capacity to assist us in elevating ourselves into a state of boundless benefits. After Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj, I have never seen a saint like our Pujniya Swamiji in my belief and experience, who has the ability to grant us the nectar of that heavenly fulfilment and contentment. Numerous souls are being transformed by him into the next level through his amazing talks, brilliant writings, and of course his divine presence. Numerous souls are regularly coming across this reality. I sincerely appreciate Swamiji's ceaseless efforts in helping us understand this amazing concept.

In bhakti mind is more important. We need to keep our mind in God.

[@user-rz4gv1bz8f]

The actual implementation of true knowledge is far more significant then doing physically labour. The actual bhakti is when you surrender your mind to god. Which is the actual purpose of our life. So well explained by Swami ji with beautiful examples.🙏

[@vimalasuppiah4103]

God has sent us down into this world to purify our mind , love, serve and make Him happy. All we need to do now is surrender completely to the Lord and He will take care the rest.

May Lord Sri Krisna take pity on us to surrender our intellect to him....Our creator always wants us to be happy...but untill we are not tied to him real happiness is impossible...how foolish we are to exchange diamond for glasses...that is we don't think about our spiritual improvement...but always busy with our material improvement.

[@user-dq1ro3lk6c]

Radhey Radhey

[@deepalithareja]

Its true the mind is controllable by the intellect. Swamiji explained the whole concept so rationally, from the indian philosophical perspective, amazing🌷

[@satyanarayanasharma9484]

Our intellect should be aligned with Guru and act accordingly. Intellect has to decide firmly that there is no happiness in the world and then detachment will happen

[@user-ps3hg5jr9s]

Radhey Radhey..

[@sayeeswarkenguva7920]

Excellent swami

[@flamos44]

So true we serve God as karma yogis and the more we do sewa The more nishkam Prem we receive from god

[@nvp4063]

Radhey Radhey Swamiji 🙏 You explained very well the Chapter 12 verse 8 , on how to align our Intellect with God consciousness . ShriKrishna is saying that knowledge is not enough to lead us to Him . The intellect which we have received by His Grace ; should control the mind and offer it to God and keep God as our focal point .

[@shilpamishra6219]

Beautiful example ❤❤🙏🙏they way Swamiji explained is so relatable ❤❤

[@dalerafferty2605]

Love Swamiji’s expressions, especially how he says to be “rotating the beads of the mind.” To offer the mind to God from where we are is next step. Offering the intellect, discriminating power, to God is an even more powerful offering. If the intellect has the faith this can happen.

[@madhulika3189]

Contemplate deep enough on the divine knowledge, resolve and then surrender the mind and intellect.

[@himanshusaraswat2318]

Intellect should be trained to make it firm. We need to follow our guru’s instructions and wisdom and always be on that path, increasing hunger for god.

[@SumitraMadhu]

Thank you pujaniya Swamiji for such a thought provoking discourse. We humans are blessed with an intellect to control our wandering mind. Supreme Bhagwan does not want anything material out of us, instead he only wants us his tiny fragments of souls to surrender our mind and intellect completely by detaching from the material world and instead attaching it to him. Radhey Radhey!

[@nehasharan8396]

Wow, mind blowing lecture! The three defects of our mind is anitya, where is gets attached and runs after the temporary things in life thinking that those our permanent, Anatma, where it thinks of itself as the body and not the soul, and dukheshu, or desires for material things that only results in miseries. In order to free ourselves of all these we need to surrender our minds to God, physical practices or austerities are not important, they are there to help us train our minds so we can engage our minds to God and in addition to our minds, we need to surrender our intellect as well. Cant wait to hear more about the process!

[@laveenahsohan5989]

Thank you Swamiji for sharing this verse. The part where it's described that the intellect is not fully resolved makes me feel humbled that this is a journey and I have to keep making steady progress. Such an impactful video overall! Swamiji describes the reality of us materially conditioned souls and the tools to bring ourselves to that resolved state where everything we do will be the result of surrendering the mind and intellect to God and Guru.

[@user-qm7tl2xm8s]

jai sri krishna

[@manjushreenanda3754]

Swamiji says intellect is so important in our life. We move in our life in accordance with the beliefs of our intellect. So when we surrender our intellect to God, our intellect will act in accordance of that higher knowledge. Thank you Swamiji for this beautiful knowledge. 🙏🙏

[@gayatrich1801]

Swamiji illumines our mind with divine knowledge presented in Bhagavad Gita. The 12th chapter is the Bhakti yog which is one of the most important chapters in Bhagavad Gita.. Thank you Swamiji for explaining the meaning so beautifully.. We have to make all our thoughts Godly and full of love and gratitude to God.. 🙏

I felt like left behind in this process and really want to know and learn about the next verse you explained.. Can any of the bhakt in your association please share the link of the next verse mentioned at the end of the video by Swami ji ?

[@rupalpatel7781]

Swamiji explained beautifully and in simple words how the mind can be controlled by the intellect. If we provide divine knowledge to our intellect, it will be easily convinced that loving God selflessly is the true purpose of our life. Our mind and intellect needs to remember that we are the soul and not the body. Tru happiness lies in loving God. Radhey Radhey.

[@nrusinghjena194]

What we are doing we have to attach our mind to God then our work will be Karmayog and also increases our Bhakti bhab otherwise all will remain physical form only. Thank you Swamiji.... Radhe Radhe 🙏💐❤️

[@mousumibhattacharjee4461]

We should surrender ourselves in feet of God

[@manoramadas9882]

Amazing explanation by Swamiji. Mind is so powerful and it is the root cause of bondage and liberation. Our mind is searching happiness in the wrong direction, so we are experiencing miseries in life. We need to run the intellect by divine knowledge to get divine bliss. Thank you Swamiji for this enlightening lecture.
