Bhagavad Gita – Chapter 12: Bhakti Yoga Verse 15-20 If you are in the influence of the field of mind, you are in Dwait. As you can clear the cloud of desires, attachments you are able to think properly with calmness (Triangle of Mind field). When you reach to the top of the triangle through the purification of Cit, you are calm. Once you reach beyond the triangle of mind, you are beyond cit. Now you are in Adwait. These are goals of Cit Shudhi. Attachment must be pure with unconditional love. Bhagawan is saying that such a person is dear (Priya) because he/she is closer to the top of the mind triangle. Bhakta, karma-yogi and Gyani/Jnanai – all these paths start converging towards one. If you are in Dwait, you will continue to perform your duties according to your nature on the journey of spirituality. When you start reaching closer to the top of triangle, the lower-level chakras (Root, Sacral and Solar-plexis) become more balanced and higher chakras become strong – Heart, Throat, Third Eye and Crown. Shubha-Ashubh Parityagi – a person who is at the bottom of the triangle he/she will be entangled in good/bad. When you start moving above the triangle, you will start understanding that people are performing according to their nature. Now your reaction starts changing to such actions. You start understanding the reasons behind ashubh actions, because of the nature. You must perform your duties according to your nature and move towards Sattwa. You must perform your duties according to dharma. Such a person does not get affected by the Shubha-Ashubh thought process. But you want to take the advantages of positive energies during Navratri days (example). Tulya-ninda-stutir mauni: When one goes beyond blame and praise, then you are considered content with anything. Dharma-amrita – Amrit of wisdom. Anything other than Me means you are in Dwait.
