Brahma yoga

Happyness is the prime requisite of anybody 's life. Every one wants to keep sorrow a light year distance, inorder to lead a comfortable, happy life. But, without invitation comes problem along with sorrow. This is inevitable in anyone's life, because, cause and effect  are desided according to the Karmas done in previous births. No one has the knowledge of previous births, and his ledgers of sins and virtues.( pap & puny am ). So, if at any phase of life, sorrow stands before, we have to accept it as devines decession.; this is the best way of accepting sorrow and happyness with equanimity. This mind set, which helps one,to treat, pain and pleasure equally, is named "Samabuddhi", in Bhagavat Gita. 

 

The Supreme Mind, Brahma, which envelopes the entire Universe, has no difference between pain or pleasure, likes or dislikes.

              " Samam pasyanhi sarvathra samavasthithameeswaram " 

Samabuddhi is the main nature of Brahma. Brahma is even and faultless.

                " Nirdoshamhi Samam Brahma thasmath Brahmanitesthitaha." ......

                                                                                             

One has to practice, this Sama-Alochana ( equal thinking), Sama drusti ,deliberately, without any bias. A lot of self controle, self discipline and impartiality is needed for practicing this state of Equanimity. This practice is named  Brahma Yoga in Gita.

Brahma yoga transforms one to a Brahma gnani. The knower of Brahma, who is established in Equanimity, acquires poised mind, feels no difference between elation or dipression.  Once,when adopted to this state of mind, one starts seeing all equal around him, feels no dualities, sees light equally in all creations. 

In this state of mind, one attaches to the" Inner Bliss", than to the temporary external sensual  pleasure.  The poised mind starts identifying itself,with the mind of Brahma, and starts enjoying everything, whatsoever comes in  life. 

This is what, exactly called  "Brahma yoga."

             Sa Brahma yoga yuktatma sukhamakshayya-Masnuthe......Sanyasa yoga, 12th sloka.

..

Actually, this is what Gita, the "Brahma Vidya", preaches in every chapter.

Brahma yoga is the soul of Brahma Vidya.

After studying, analysing the essence of Bhagavad Gita, many times,one starts experiencing the behavioural changes, close to That, what I mentioned above,... Of Brahma.

Personality refinement, which changes an ordinary mind to an equanimous mind is, the

motive of Brahma yoga. The soul reason of Githopadesam is too, to change the Mindset of

Arjuna,; to prepare him for war,  in order to eradicate the evil.The  Divyagnanam granted by Lord Sri Krishna, inspired Arjuna,; hence he fought the Kurukshethra.

So, Who so ever wants a happy and  composed life, should practice this Brahma yoga.

       "Om ethi  Sri Brahma vidyayam, Gitopanishat."
