Shri Bhagawan Uvaca: Verse 5-8 When you a make of list of people who are important and the ones who have given most pain, you prioritize them based on your likes and dislikes. At the end of time, that state of mind (bhava) will continue for the next time/life. Your bhava will continue in the next life. Life is a continuum; death is a stop in the journey. Then, you must decide in what state of mind (bhava) you want to continue. Most of us are entangled in our family and friends so the next birth will be around that place. We are seekers (in sanatan dharma) in search of the ultimate goal to reach to the state of “being”. Someone is in Gyan yoga, someone is in Bhakti yoga and others may be in Karma yoga. In all yoga style there is an expectation that Bhagawan will give peace, wealth, and health. If you must come to ME, then your entire life must be devoted to ME all the time. You must practice the style to focus on ME all the time. You are here because of your past actions. Now the next time the process will change based on yesterday bhava. Whatever I am seeing (bhava) now will dictate the direction of my journey. I am aware of my next action based on present bhava. Verse 9-10 I am the creator, and I am the created. I am the process of creation. Nirgun brahman is Achintaye, it cannot be understood. You can only experience it. You see your image in front of mirror, we become self-aware that it is me. A lot of animals are not aware of self. We are talking about the continuous journey of life. Continue to focus on the middle of your eyebrows and focus on ME. Yoga karma su-kaushlam – performing actions with full devotion is called yoga.
