path of perfection chapter no 1 and 2. Quotes 💭🌟
CHAPTER NO.1
YOGA AS ACTION
✨✨✨✨
1)antisritah karma-phalam
karyam karma karoti yah
sa sannytisi ca yogi ca
na niragnir na ctikriyah
"One who is unattached to the fruits of his work and who works as
he is obligated is in the renounced order of life, and he is the true
mystic, not he who lights no fire and performs no work."
🌟🌟🌟🌟
2)na dhanarh na janarh na sundarirh
kavitam va jagadiSa klimaye
mama janmani janmaniSvare
bhavatad bhaktir ahaituki tvayi
"0 Almighty Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth, nor to
enjoy beautiful women. Nor do I want any number of followers.
What I want is only the causeless mercy of Your devotional service
in my life, birth after
birth." (Siksastaka4)
💫💫💫💫💫
3)If one practices the regulative principles of yoga, he can attain
eight kinds of perfection. He can become lighter than a cotton swab. He can become heavier than a great stone. He can immediately get whatever he likes. Sometimes he can even create a planet.

4)Krishna has given us a mind, and we must utilize this mind to think of krishna. We have been given these hands, and we must use them to wash the temple or cook for Krishna.we have been given these legs, and we should use them to go to the temple of Krishna We have been given a nose, and we should use it to smell the flowers that have been offered to Krishna Through the process of bhakti-yoga, we engage all these senses in the service of Krishna,and in this way the senses are spiritualized.

5)kutas tva kasmalam idarh
visame samupasthitam
anarya-justam asvargyarh
akirti-karam arjuna
"My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you?
They are not at all befitting a man who knows the progressive
values of life. They lead not to higher planets, but to infamy."
(Ba. 2.2) Krishna directLy tells Arjuna that he is speaking like a non Aryan-that is, like one who does not know the spiritual values of
life. So krishna consciousness does not mean sitting down idly.
✨✨✨✨✨
6)Krishna Himself does not sit down idly. All His pastimes are filled with activity.When we go to the spiritual world, we will see that Krishna is always engaged in dancing, eating, and enjoying. He does not sit down to meditate.
💖💖💖💖
7)That is a fact. It is not
possible to control the mind artificially; therefore we must engage
the mind in Krishna consciousness. Then it is controlled. If Arjuna
found this process more difficult than controlling the wind, then what of us? After all, Arjuna was not an ordinary man. He was personally talking with the Supreme Lord, Sri Krishna and he proclaimed the mind to be like a great wind. How can we control
the wind? We can control the mind only by fixing it on Krishna lotus feet. That is the perfection of meditation.

"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, residing in His own
realm, Goloka, with Radha, resembling His own spiritual figure,
the embodiment of the ecstatic potency possessed of the sixtyfour artistic activities, in the company of Her confidantes (sahkhis), embodiments of the extensions of Her bodily form, permeated and vitalized by His ever-blissful spiritual rasa." (Brahma-samhita 5.37)

the mind on Krishna. When the mind is so fixed, he cannot do anything but act as our friend. He has no scope to act any other way.

the sun is in the sky, darkness is vanquished. Krishna is just like the

13)The darkness will simply fade away.Krishna surya-sama maya haya andhakara. Krishna is like sunlight, and maya is like darkness. So how can darkness exist in sunlight?

14)yaya sammohito jiva
atmanam tri-gunatmakam
paro 'pi manute 'nartham
tat-krtam cabhipadyate

🌟💫🌟💫🌟💫
15)The yoga system is meant to disentangle us, and the perfection of yoga is Krishna consciousness. Thus Krishna consciousness is the most effective means by which we can disentangle ourselves from the influence of the material energy.
