  ==================================================================================================== Thursday 18, December 2025, 05:30. Article Scriptures Stabilising the Mind in God: The Twelfth Chapter of the - Bhagavadgita: 5. Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on June 26, 1983) Post-5. ==================================================================================================== The whole universe is active in a uniform manner, as our whole body is active in a uniform way. If any part of our body – a finger, a nose or an ear – is operating, it is because of the will of the total body. Otherwise, it cannot work. Thus, if any one of you, any person, you or I, appear to be doing something, it is because of the will of the centre of the cosmos. Therefore, nobody is doing anything, and hence the fruits of actions need not be credited to the account of any particular individual, because the individual has done nothing. All the fruits go to that source from where the will to act has o...

The Duty of Karma Yoga: Cooperating with Our Higher Self: 5. (END) Swami Krishnananda.

  ============================================================================================== Monday 15, December 2025, 20:30. Article Spirituality The Duty of Karma Yoga: Cooperating with Our Higher Self: 5. Swami Krishnananda (Spoken on October 14, 1984) Post-5. ================================================================================================ In a way we may say the performance of duty is what is called karma yoga. What is duty? It has never been understood properly because it is mixed up with rights or expectations. Wherever there is the necessity to perform duty, there is always a psychological connection with the result that has to follow from the performance of that duty, and this is exactly what is forbidden by this practice. We should not expect any result to follow because when there is an axe to grind even in the performance of our duty, this act becomes our motive, and then the duty is not our intention. How could we perform our duty wholeheartedly when...

The Language of the Bhagavadgita: 5. Swami Krishnananda.

================================================================================================ Saturday 13, December 2025, 20:15. Article Scriptures The Language of the Bhagavadgita: 5.  Swami Krishnananda (Gita Jayanti Message spoken on December 26, 1982) ================================================================================================ You would have yourself observed that when you glance through any page, any verse, any word of the Bhagavadgita text, you would have received some inspiration when your spirits are drooping. When you are agony-ridden and distressed, and you see no meaning in things due to your sorrow, at that time when you open the Bhagavadgita you would have seen something scintillating, piercing, and projecting itself as a solution of your problem in a motherly, kindly affection. This is what I found, and everybody would have found it. The Bhagavadgita is principally God speaking to man, and when God speaks, you know what He will speak. Everything...

The Three Types of Discipline of the Bhagavad-Gita: 4. Swami Krishnananda.

=============================================================================================== Tuesday 09, November 2025, 20:15. Article Scriptures The Three Types of Discipline of the Bhagavadgita: 4.  Swami Krishnananda. (Spoken on September 18th, 1974) ================================================================================================= Therefore, we are not supposed to bring about the assemblage of mechanical parts in the discipline of our personality, because that would be an artificial life. We are supposed to conduct ourselves in such a way that our life is an art, a beauty, an attraction, so that our face beams with a joy that draws people towards us as if we are a magnet. Beauty is a source of attraction, and we become a source of beauty on account of the discipline spiritually conducted according to this novel doctrine of the Bhagavadgita. Now, this is not sufficient, and the next six chapters describe something much more. Whatever be the discipline that you ...
