Emphasis of Karma Phala Tyaga

 

The word karma in the case of a human being means the work done to earn money, which is essential for his food and offering the food to the guest. Money required for the self and his family is called ‘sareera yatra’ in Gita. Money required to prepare food to offer to the guest is called ‘yajna karma’. The word karma in Gita was used in these two meanings in the context of a human being (sareera yatra pichate, yajnah karma samudbhavah). Therefore the fruit of the work means only money.

 

The first mantra of the first Upanishad speaks about enjoyment and sacrifice of money (kasyasvit dhanam). The mantra says that the entire creation is the wealth of the Lord and one should store the money for his minimum enjoyment and the rest should be sacrificed to the Lord who comes in the human form for His mission to uplift this world. The second mantra says that one should continuously work and earn. Vasista said that money is the root of all this worldly family bonds (Dhanamulamidam jagat). When money is absent all the family members will leave you. All the family members and relatives approach you only due to money just like the frogs are present in the tank when it is full of water.

 

The ‘Srichakram’ means the wheel that surrounds the money. Therefore when the sacrifice of money comes into the picture, all the fraud devotees will run away because in their hearts the attraction to the family bonds exists as solidified darkness. Only the true devotees will stand, in whose hearts the darkness is removed and the light of divine knowledge exists. The Lord came in human form and tested ‘Saktuprasta’ in the sacrifice of the food, which is another form of money. In draught he could secure a little flour and he was fasting for the past ten days. He was not tested in any other way of words and mind (japa, parayana, dhyana etc.). A real devotee will stand in this root test and this is the real fire test.

 

If the bond with the money is cut, all the worldly bonds are cut, since money is the root of this whole ‘samsara’. The fraud devotees want to escape this test and therefore interpreted the ‘karmaphala’ as the fruit of prayers, japa, parayana, dhyana etc. The eyes in this world not at all see such fruit. Therefore such fruit of work done by words and mind is unreal. There is no difficulty to sacrifice such unreal fruit. Therefore they misinterpreted the ‘karmaphalatyaga’ as leaving a spoon of water in the plate after doing such work by words and mind. Some people have fooled the ignorant people by doing such works and get the ‘Gurudakshina’. They are selling the unreal fruit for the real money, by promising that the fruits of their sins will be removed and results of good deeds, which were not done, will be attained.

Why is india always suffering with poverty?

 

The Indian scholars have developed several tricks to do 'Karma Phala Tyaga’ and keep the fruit with themselves. For 'Karma Phala Tyaga’, both the human form of Lord and the money (Karma Phala) are required like a paper and pen for a test. One intellectual way is to offer the food (Karma Phala) to a statue and then eat it as remains but the God has not even eaten a grain. Another intellectual way is to say that every man is God and the eating of food by a man is considered as eating by God. So you eat the food and say that God has eaten the food and you say that you have done ‘Karma Phala Tyaga’ to the God. Such intellectual tricks result in storing all your 'Karma Phalas' with yourself only. Like this, Indian scholars have covered their greediness by intellectual interpretations. The heart is full of love and the brain is full of intelligence. Indians have connected brain to God and the heart to their family. It is reversed in the case of foreigners. Love results in karma phala tyaga. But intelligence results in knowledge, praying etc., without practical sacrifice. This brought poverty to India. When the wheat flour was blown away by the wind, an Indian scholar says,

 

“I sacrificed this flour to the Lord”. Let us take a foreigner. He earns, enjoys and donates for good cause. He will ask his child to earn and live after certain age. The family bonds of the foreigners are very weak compared to the Indians. Hence, huge love is stored in them without much diversion to the family bonds. Therefore, once they come to know about the Lord fully, they will jump with full intensity of love and devotion. They reach God quickly by their strong 'Karma Phala Tyaga'. He does not store even for his children due to such frankness and simplicity in his thoughts. God blessed almost all the foreign countries with lot of wealth. However much knowledge may be rained in India, it does not come into practice. All the rain on loose soil goes down only. In foreign countries, when the knowledge is rained, it is converted into practice immediately. The rain on a rocky soil flows on the surface as a river and becomes useful for all the people. Even in the path of science foreigners are practical people whereas Indians are theorists. This is the psychology that is coming in the Indian tradition for the past several generations. God blessed Indians with lot of intelligence and blessed foreigners with lot of wealth. Gita says that in whatever path you approach the God, in that same path the God approaches you.

 

I have told this, so that Indians rectify themselves and make India wealthy by Lord’s grace. It is clear that even the Indian spiritual centers are grown by the sacrifice of foreign funds only. Swami Vivekananda wept loudly, “Why my country with such a rich knowledge suffers with poverty”? This is the answer given by Swami.

 

The four dogs around Datta sacrifice work (karma sanyasa) by watching the feet of Datta. The cow which is along with Datta sacrifices its milk (karma phala tyaga) for the Lord even avoiding its calf. Both karma sanyasa and karma phala tyaga put together is called ‘karmayoga’. Karmayoga is greater than karma sanyasa as per the Gita, which is the service done to the propagation of knowledge and devotion by the Lord. This is the only path to reach Datta.

Today is 'Guru Purnima' indicating the full moon. Moon indicates mind. The full moon indicates the strongest mind i.e., the strongest determination as indicated by the word ‘Purnima’ which should be diverted to Guru Datta. You should direct all your love towards Guru Datta. That can be proved only by ‘Karma Phala Tyaga’ (Donating the money) i.e., by offering Guru Dakshina. Lord appeared on Purnima day. So every full moon day is Guru Purnima. Guru Dakshina proves the real love on the God and not the Pradakshina that is moving around Guru Datta. Give Guru Dakshina on every Purnima that comes in every month.

 

Gita goes on stressing on Karma Phala Tyaga by stating "Do Karma. Do not aspire for the result and for the fruit. Surrender the fruit to me". In the first chapter of ‘Yoga Vasistam’, even Lord Rama was asked to come with money to offer the Guru Dakshina. The first mantra of the first Upanishad says, "The whole world is the wealth of the Lord. Take the minimum requirement. If you have taken more, return it back to the Lord. If you claim that the extra belongs to you, you have stolen the wealth of the Lord. The stolen money will bring you only the sufferings”.

 

“Gurussakshat parabrahma”. Guru means Sadguru and He is Datta. He takes your sins through food and money you offer to him and can rid you of your sins proportionally so that you will be happy and can do sadhana. SAI told that the bread offered to Him was their sins. One rupee-gurudakshina of a poor man is equal to one lakh of a rich man. An individual is unable to do this and so scholars do not take meals and money from others. ("Aparigraha vratam''). People never liked to act as priests for the same reason. No one has the patience and power to take the sins of others and so people followed ‘Vaisvadevam’, which means not to take food or anything from others. Only Lord can do this.

 

The sadguru uses His energy obtained by taking the food offered by you in teaching knowledge. He also uses the money offered by you (Gurudakshina) for propagation of knowledge and devotion to uplift all and in helping poor devotees. Due to this sacrifice, sadguru is called ‘DATTA’ which means ‘sacrifice’.
