Never consider yourself the cause of the result of your actions and never be attached to not doing your duty

Arjuna: Do I incur sin by killing my own kinsmen? Is there anyone in the past who attained perfectin by this process?

Krishna: King such as Janaka attained perfection solely by performing prescribed duties. Prescribed duties should not be given up for the sake of bodily discomfort.

Never consider yourself the cause of the result of your actions and never be attached to not doing your duty. One who acts as he is obligated without false ego shall not incur any reactions for his actions.

Who is my beloved except for You?

Posted by dinesh

"O Lord Hari I have spent my life uselessly. Having obtained a human birth and having net worshiped Radha and Krsna, I have knowingly drunk poison. The treasure of divine love in Goloka Vrndavana has descended as the congregational chanting of Lord Hari's holy names. Why did my attraction for that chanting never come about? Day and night my heart burns from the fire of the poison of worldliness, and I have not taken the means to relieve it. Lord Krsna, who is the son of the King of Vraja, became the son of Saci (Lord Caitanya), and Balarama became Nitai.

The holy name delivered all those souls who were lowly and wretched. The two sinners Jagai and Madhai are evidence of this. O Lord Krsna, son of Nanda, accompanied by the daughter of Vrsabhanu, please be merciful to me now. Narottama Dasa says, "O Lord, please do not push me away from Your reddish lotus feet, for who is my beloved except for You?" (A poem by Narottama Dasa Thakura)

We are interdependent beings

Posted by dinesh

If we think we are independent beings, sorry we are mistaken. We are interdependent beings. To continue living, We need the bare minimum support from material nature which is being operated by the higher beings who control the air, water, fire. The individual soul has nothing to do with these material elements with which he is identifying the self. Just like a man bound by chains has to drag them around wherever he moves, the living beings(souls) have to drag their mind and body wherever they move around in the material manifestation. This is the punishment for souls like us who are defying the authority of the Lord.
