Bhagavad Gita class 101: The third and fourth sets of qualities of an ideal devotee: He from whom the world does not get shrink and who does not shrink from the world, who is free from joy and envy, fear and agitation, having no expectation, being pure, skilful in action, unconcerned, and untroubled and giving up all initiative (in action) (chapter 12 verses 15 and 16)

 

•  The third set of qualities of an ideal devotee: He from whom the world does not get frustrated and who does not get frustrated from the world and who is free from material joy and envy, fear and agitation.

 

• Why people should never get frustrated with a devotee of God and why the devotee should never get frustrated with other people.  Why Gandhiji said that literature should be so that even koshias (certain types of labourers on farms) can understand the language.

• A study of Pujya Dongreji Maharaj and why he did not give the answers to too many questions.

• The fourth set of qualities of an ideal devotee: having no expectation, being pure, skilful in action, unconcerned, and untroubled, giving up all material and possessive initiative (in action)

 

• Why in these verses the Supreme Soul keeps saying me priyaha (he is dear to Me). The Supreme Soul is talking about something very intimate and it is an effort to understand the heart of the Supreme Soul.

 

• A study of the Rudra Ashta Adhyai and the art of wishing. Why the Rishis say that "Lord, what I am asking from you is not because I wish to gather all of this but Lord, give this to me so that I can distribute it in society. We want all of this with the attitude of Yagna”.

• Why what one is doing with the senses is not important; what is important is whether the mind is being involved in what the senses are doing.  A study of the Shrimad Bhagavad.
