The NATURE of our Human Mind | Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 5 | Swami Mukundananda

Lord Krishna reveals the nature of our human mind in Bhagavad Gita Verse 3.5. Swami Mukundananda elaborates on it further. There is no one who can remain without action even for a moment. Our mind creates multiple thoughts every second. The thoughts of the mind are also counted as work. Indeed, all beings are compelled to act by their qualities born of material nature (the three guṇas).

न हि कश्चित्क्षणमपि जातु तिष्ठत्यकर्मकृत् |
कार्यते ह्यवश: कर्म सर्व: प्रकृतिजैर्गुणै: || 5||
na hi kashchit kshanam api jatu tishthatyakarma-krit
karyate hyavashah karma sarvah prakriti-jair gunaih
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 5: Some people think that action refers only to professional work, and not to daily activities such as eating, drinking, sleeping, waking and thinking. So, when they renounce their profession, they think they are not performing actions. But Shree Krishna considers all activities performed with the body, mind, and tongue as actions. Hence, he tells Arjun that complete inactivity is impossible even for a moment. If we simply sit down, it is an activity; if we lie down, that is also an activity; if we fall asleep, the mind is still engaged in dreaming; even in deep sleep, the heart and other bodily organs are functioning. Thus, Shree Krishna declares that for human beings, inactivity is an impossible state to reach, since the body-mind-intellect mechanism is compelled by its own make-up of the three guṇas (sattva, rajas, and tamas) to perform work in the world.
The Shrimad Bhagavatam contains a similar verse:
na hi kaśhchit kṣhaṇam api jātu tiṣhṭhaty akarma-kṛit
kāryate hy avaśhaḥ karma guṇaiḥ svābhāvikair balāt (6.1.53)
“Nobody can remain inactive for even a moment. Everyone is forced to act by their modes of nature.”

There is a great opportunity to remember God if we involve God in every work we do. Just pretend that he is working with you and the contemplation will also happen alongside with the work.

My mind says I am sinner I need to help so many people I can’t concentrate and then when something bad happens I get scared that I didn’t help anyone that’s why it is happening with me

[@kasinathan9489]

🙏🙏

[@rj_sumit_remix]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙

[@simmychaplot667]

Only one conclusion we can reach is that the best situation would be to not use this mind to decide right or wrong, let it be controlled by God and just follow the instructions.

[@shiv366]

Only Swami Mukundanand ji can explain Gita so systematically and with pure logics. Nobody can explain like him. I think he is a practically God realized person. Of course, even at the age of 35, many people changed their career path just because they understood their nature of mind, behavior. It happens in everybody's life. From the God's grace, we can understand the nature of mind.

[@prathamraval5282]

I have one million thought in one day how should I study

[@revanthbandari1560]

[@TheDeepening718]

Human thoughts are different from animal thoughts so it doesn't make sense to me that a human could be reborn as an animal. Human vasanas = Human rebirth

HARE Krishna ❤️🌹
