Shri Bhagawan Uvaca:   Verse 23-30 Sometimes we try to understand the segment related to prakriti and fail to understand that our questions are related to a part of segments . Assumption is that Bhagawan made this Srishti due to some reasons. Mind, budhi and desires are required for Karana. Suppose mind is looking outside to find answers to questions and always looks for answers in this Srishti. But your inner divinity must be realized inside. You need to focus inside. For every action/desire, there is a disturbance in the mind. Yoga: chit-vritti nirodha When prana shakti activates the vasana, then it comes into the periphery of my awareness. The mind will continue to act till we get that desire completed. Once that desire is completed, then we become satisfied and become calm. But next desire will arise, and mind will start acting on it to fulfil that desire. But mind acts on it to calm itself. During this process, our understanding is limited to activities related to mind. Source of the desires must be cleared before you can realize your True Self. Mind is known by its movement. When mind is completely still, then it merges with True-Self (inner divinity). Everything is happening according to prakriti, but I (Brahman) am not involved. Karama-yoga – quantity of thoughts reduces Janna (Gyan)-yoga – quality of thoughts improves Bhakti-yoga – direction of thought process improves If you see things in a linear fashion, you will have questions. But this entire process is circular in nature. The energy is same, but it changes with diversification. The underlying source is same for all form of shakti – Hanuman, Durga, Parvati and more. Like source of water at home is same, but we drink from the kitchen tap only. Verse 29-30 What is the motivation to reach ME. Some wants moksha. Some want to get rid of cycle of birth and death. You need to focus on ME to reach moksha. Those who merge in ME, then he/she becomes  yukta chetas.
