Jnani on Giving
A poor man asked a Jnani,
“Why am I so poor?”
The Jnani said, “you do not learn to give.”
So the poor man said, “If I’m not having anything?”
Jnani said: “You have a few things,
The Face, which can give a smile;
Mouth: you can praise or comfort others;
The Heart: it can open up to others;
Eyes: who can look the other with the eyes of goodness;
Body: which can be used to help others.”
Your Nature – Swabhava
A mango tree continues to bear more fruits even if stones are pelted at it to make the fruits fall because to bear fruits is its intrinsic nature. You are here to express your true nature, not to be like someone else. Your true nature is the nature you have by birth. Understanding your true nature is critical for your career and happiness.
Karma Yoga Vs Jnana Yoga
Karma Yoga – Let me just live in this moment fully doing my dharma (duty). The results of my actions are not in my hands.
Jnana Yoga – Body is separate from me. Nature is doing everything. I am pure consciousness which is not the doer.
