O, Vasudeva, Suttam-devam, Kamsachanurramaddanam,

Devaki, Paramanandandam, Krishna, Vande, Jagadvrum.

All right. So we are studying the sixth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita.

And there, Arjuna asks this important question.

This yoga that you have taught, which consists ultimately in seeing the same Brahman everywhere, God and everything,

samadarshan, the samadarshan, the sameness, the same divine essence everywhere.

That's not possible because the mind is fickle.

The fickleness of the mind, it makes meditation impossible,

and the meditation that you have taught does not work.

That was his objection. It's a question that we all have. It not work, that was his objection.

It's a question that we all have.

It's very difficult to handle the mind.

Knowledge that I am Brahman is not very difficult to grasp.

If you stay with the Vedantic teachings for some time, you begin to see what they are talking about.

Devotion.

One wants to be devoted.

It's such a beautiful thing to have devotion for God. Selflessness. Devotion. One wants to be devoted. It's such a beautiful thing to be,

to have devotion for God. Selflessness. One wants to be selfless and one, one realizes that it is a sign of maturity that selfish pursuits do not ultimately bring lasting happiness, any kind

of deep fulfillment.

All of that one understands and one wants that.

But you know what sabotage is the whole thing?

It's the mind.
