Gita reflection Ch 5 Verses 10 & 11

2nd May 2024

• "A yogi undertakes action, offering everything to God, and is not affected by what he does, just as the leaf of the lotus that grows in water is untouched by the water!" 
• This quote from Lord Krishna is a classic example of the mind of a saint while working. 
• Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda demonstrated excellence in performing all actions with complete attention and love, even in the simple act of replying to a letter from his devotee. 
• Yogis perform all actions with their body, speech, and mind to enhance the purity of their mind. They maintain a pure mind that expects nothing from the world, not even from God. 
• While tirelessly working in the world, a yogi keeps the welfare of others first. They work in silence, like nature, for the well-being of all.
