Real conditions for self Realisation

All our actions are-dominated, dectated by ThriguNas , which in turn prompted by ones' own Karma.Naturally, all good actions are prompted by  Satva guNa,   Where as bad actions by Rajo guNa. Non can escape this law of Nature. Even, Gods, taken birth on this planet cannot escape themself from this law.
                " Thribhirgunamayeir bhavairebhihi sarwamidam Jagath mohitham ".  Says  Lord Sri Krishna, in Kshethrakshethragna vibhaga yoga.
But, to overcome this domination of nature, one has to put deliberate efforts.
The aspirent of self realisation ,should condition his Mind to become Suddhatma;, because, 
Suddhatma  can alone Realise the Supreme mahan atma .
What are those traits of a conditioned  Mind???
A first and foremost  characteristic of a conditioned mind is  a  a serene ,peaceful  behaviour. 
A cool and composed behaviour, which generated  by  controling the sences, is seen in all
Conditioned minds. Those with prashanthama  behave very poised, look very pure in thoughts, 
Devoid of the  Dualities of this world. This is said in Dhyanayoga, in the below verse........

  Jitathmanaha  prashanthasya Paramathma  samahithaha
   Sheethoshna sukha duhkheshu thadhamanapamanayoh

Self controlled  person  whose mind is perfectly serene  in the pairs of opposites ;,treats  joy and sorrow equally, ;feels cold and heat equally, ; considers honour and dishonour equally.
He behaves like a Yogi,who is unmoved under various circumstances of dual nature.the same
Mentioned in Bhakti yoga as below.........                                  

    Samaduhkha sukhah  swasthah samaloshtascha  Kanthana!
    Thulyapriyapriyo  dheerasthulyanindathma samsthuthihi

A conditioned Mind  exhibits wisdom in every aspect of Life. He looks upon friends and foes,
relatives and non relatives, honour and ignominy, the virtuous and sinful with the same eyes.   
A self controlled person does all actions with a selfless attitude, attributing the results as God driven, and God given.            
The same is expressed in Bhakti Yoga as below...........

   Manapamanayohsthulyasthulya   Mithraripakshayoh
    Sarvarambhaparithyagi   GuNatheethaha    Sa  uchyathe.

These charectoristics of highly conditioned, exalted souls are beyond thriguNas .
These yogis renounce the sence of doer ship for their actions, raise above thriguNas.
These elated great minds prepare themself ready for Self Realisation. 
             Shun the sence of ' I ', u can see the shining Supremebeing.

                    Bhagavanuvacha

Purity is power

Purity is the soul word of Gita. Everything in this world, not only in the world , in this entire universe is 
Created with purity and by purity. We all aware of a fact that God is nothing but a personified purity in every aspect in this universe. God is the supreme Mind, the supreme consciousness,which works relentlessly, restlessly for the welfare of this universe. Hence, the Yogi, who try's to practice the resemblence to God, should cultivate the same pure mind to perform any act of his day to day life.
Lord Krishna says,
                            Kayenavacha, Manasseihi, kEvaleirindriyeirapi Yoginaha 
                            Karma kurvanthi sangam Thyakthvathma Suddayethi

 An Aspirent of Self realisation performs all actions by speech, by thought, by sences
With absolute purity, withoutexpecting any fruits of his actions. Why???
This selfless attitude towards actions develops pure mind, develops a detachment towards worldly pleasures,. Detachment to attachments is a fundamental requisite of a Yogi. If a yogi has longing for worldly enjoyments, automatically he will be stucked into the web of dualities,. Happyness or sorrow, likes or dislikes, hatred or love etc etc etc will pollute his Mind. Dual throngs drag his mind to impurity. Black and white dilludes his mind. A delluded mind looses its' strength to work in a Rightuous way. A distracted mind lacks power to work properly. A perverted mind 
Cannot work straightforwardly.  So, an aspirent of Yogic life should inculcate pure
Thoughts, pure speech and pure actions to attain Pure Mind.

Sarvasangaparithyag means renunciation of all attachments is the only way for any body to acquire the purity of Mind. Pure mind attains Almighty 's grace. That's all a 
Human birth aims.,,Almighty's  grace is the ultimate goal of  Life.
A Pure Mind works like an antenna, receives power from The Supreme Mind, and dispels the actions. 
Suddha  Buddhi, Sudda GnAnam, suddhatma,leads an Yogi to Siddhi. ( beatitude ) 
Siddhi, empowers one to do all the best things in this world, which once again recharge him to do many more good things. That is why Gita insists, proclaims
Purity in Mind. Connect yourself to God always,be empowered, be purified, be endowed with yoga, realise That, That supreme power. This is the power of Purity.

          Thasmathu sarvEshu kaaleshu yogayuktho Bhavarjuna

Be always connected to God, Manasa Vacha KarmaNa. U become Purified automatically., u become Powerful .
