Bhagwat Gita Chapter 10- Vibhuti Yoga

Today we will take up vibhuti yoga the 10th chapter what is

vibhuti
often the ash that we give is called vibhuti. Abundance or
wealth
is
vibhuti
Everybody desires abundance, That abundance which never
leaves
you
is
vibuti.
Lord Krishna talks about vibuti yoga after the ninth chapter. I
will also speak a little in Hindi. Shri Krishna is playing the role
of a Guru, He is standing as Arjuns Guru.
Oh Mahabaho!
To a disciple who is weeping he does not say you are so low, He
just uplifts
He says that you are a maha baho a great warrior, You are
mature yet I would like to tell you the highest truth.
This will benefit you
First the Lord says you are dear
The Lord finds everybody dear
This feeling He expresses. Because you are dear to me I want
to tell you this
What is this word?
Nobody knows me
You think you know me
Maharishi no God nobody knows me
As soon as the child sees the mother it expreirences love
Love comes first adn then comes knowledge
We do not know our origin
Nobody knows my origin
He asks Arjun - for Arjun thinks he knows Krishna
When we acknowledge that we do not know then all our
concpets fall apart
God is known or addressed in three persons
To know I am GOd you need to see in all three persons
From He to You to Me - this is vibhuti or abundance
Buddhi has also come from me
From that consciousness from which everything has sprung up
that is what I am
I am not the body - but the consciousness

whatever you know of this world it has all come out of me

The intellect - whatever you understand, the apparatus of
understanding where has it come from
The baby in the womb - how did it grow. Nine months it grows.
After birth too it grows
how does it grow. It came from the consciousness that is why it
grows
Truth - Even the experience of truth comes because of being
withme
This is higher knowledge
You have the capability of having control of your senses that
too has coem from me
Whatever you consider as yours - all the qualities that you
consider your own have all come from me.
Here krishna cuts the ignorance from the roots
On one hand he says surrender to me and this will give
freedom
In case you have an ego that I am a great person, very pious
etc... then Krishna removes that too
He says all has come from the consciouness
Misery gives depth that doesnt come from joy.
There is no one in this world who hasnt been touched by both
joy and sorrow. When we experience sorrow then we blame on
others
When we think others are the cause of joy it creates
attachment
When you consider joy and sorrow has come from me (krishna
says) then you become centered on me
Abundance and lack have both come from me
Fearful and brave mind have both come because of me
When there is two it creates fear
When you consider someone as other it causes fear.
Belongingness removes fear
That is why all the Gods and Goddesses have one palm raised
in abhaya mudra - which says do not fear
Also this ego that I am doing sadhana i am good all this is from
me. Even if you are doing penance it is also inspired by me
If you are doing charity that too has come from me
Fame and infamy have also come from me
the biggest problem is that we want fame and are afraid of

infamy
A fearless person is (first of all) not afraid of infamy
Both fame and infamy have come from me
These different feelings have all come from me

the mixlr audio link
For some - they have faith but it is shaky
One who knows me in this manner - that everything has come
from me - his faith is unshakable
Arjun did not say if you are the cause of everything why did
you not give duryodhana a clear mind
you could have stopped the war
why are you letting this war happen
Arjun is not able to say that.
One who are with me like this - I have become their prana.
When they talk I speak through them
If somebody is not joyful then thy are really not connected to
me
I share my life with the Lord
When I am connected to the Lord
my happiness is god's happiness
Such people talk about me, are happy and joyful
When you consider that you are part of me then intelligence I
give to them
When someone considers themselves as part of me then i
bestow the intelligence through which they can attain me
By lighting the lamp of knowledge I remove the darkness of
ignorance
you cannot drive away the ignorance
I will not get a light from outside.
Actually when the lamp of knowledge within lights up then the
ignorance
is removed
Till now I heard from others.... Rishis, vyasa etc.. they said you
are brahman.
I have heard from others - but now I find you praising yourself
You know yourself by yourself
All the elements run towards you
bhut means pancha bhut the five elements
They are the lord of the five elements

you are the lord of the world

arjuna says
You need the vision to recognise the Divine
Arjuna says I want to witness your glory
How do I know you- Arjuna asks
Please explain to me in details
Krishna says I can tell you a little
It is unending
But still I will tell you a little bit about myself
I am the start middle and end of all elements
for example whatever we do we are in space
First know that I am your very soul
That which resides in all
I am that soul present in all
Everything is in one space
It seems that space is different when you look from windows
but it is one
One pot with many holes seems many points of light yet the
lamp inside the pot is one
The sunlight through different windows is one
From here starts the vibhuti yoga
Today - know - Whatever is there in this world. IT has all come
from the one.
Knowledge or ignorance has come from that one
Mind that is scattered to bring it together is self knowledge
Bringing the scattered mind together and establishing in the
self is knowledge
The mind runs towards that which is shining which is
outstanding
Whenever the mind is attracted to something seeing the Divine
there and bringing it back to the center is the way
Arjun has heard from others about Krishna btu today he hears
from krishna himself.
When Krishna is speaking Krishna is not speaking
it is the world speaking
it is the consciousness
At the end of the war, when arjuna asks krishna to repeat the
gita, he says it is not possible
Just moving the body is not yoga.
Joining the scattered mind is yoga
That is why shankaracharya says even yoga is a myth - when

there is no two what is there to join

Sitting with this, joining with this is yoga.
That is why when you do sadhana the first thing you get is the
ability to curse
the ability to bless comes later
that is why sadhak should be careful
do not utter a curse
do not keep hatred towards anybody
These are two dimensions - the practical and mundane life
and the other is the spiritual
Just getting stuck in the mundane one feels bogged down
Just getting stuck in the ehtereal too is not advised
Just sitting in samadhi is also no use - why is the buddhi, eyes
etc given
you need to do your duty
In the battlefield he doesnt say just kill or fight out of
vengenace
Just do your duty without aversion
This is the biggest learning
Do your duty - when you do craving and aversion arise. That is
when realise that they have both come from me
This is a little higher knoweldge
This you have to contemplate over and over
