have three powers:
1) Power to decide: Every second/moment of my life I decide what action I need to take (if I do not act on that power, I act according to my tendencies)
2) I have power to focus
3) I have power to unselfish action
- Mind is influenced by time,space and objects.
The idea is to be focussed on one time , one space and one object at all the time ...
Time: Mind is thinking about the past or the future. The sadhana is to keep the mind focused on only one time : present moment.
Space:
Space:
Objects: The mind is thinking about too many objects
The ocean can become wave ...but the wave ,by itself, cannot become ocean. The wave just needs to know that it is already ocean. It cannot do anything to become the ocean.
You do worship but devotion happens by itself. You do paranayam but breathing happens by itself. What ever happens by itself does not need effort. It does not make you tired. The idea is not to do anything but let things happen through you. So, things are happening but due to lack of doer ship, you do not feel tired.
You work by your body, you need to work on your body. You work by your mind, you need to work on your mind. Working on your body is physical yoga ...working on your mind is sadhana.
Desire for enjoyment is bondage. Complete freedom from all desires is freedom.
Am I in body or is the body in me. I exist when I do not experience body during sleep. So, the body is in me ....

Plantets and life
In your palm, each of your fingers is connected to some planet. The thumb is connected to Mars. Mars stays alone.
Index finger is connected to Jupiter (Jupiter shows the path, it is the teacher). When you want to show something, you show using the index finger, this is Jupiter. The middle finger is connected to Saturn; Saturn is the servant. The ring finger is connected to the Sun; the Sun is the king. And who owns the jewels? The king, and so you put rings only on the ring finger. That's why it's called the ring finger. And the Sun or a king cannot stay alone, you have to have the servant with him. The President of every country has a bodyguard who is taller, fairer and well built because he has to support the President. That's why it's difficult to separate the middle finger and the ring finger.
The little finger is connected to Mercury. So when you do chin mudra, what is happening? The index finger (Jupiter) and the thumb (Mars) are coming together, that is wisdom and power.

Why is the thumb Mars? It is because whenever you win, what do you do? You put your thumbs up. Thumbs up is a sign of victory. When you lose what do you do? You put your thumbs down. So these gestures are so inbuilt in us.
Similarly, different planets affect different parts of your body. Your teeth are connected to Saturn. Your eyes are connected to the Sun, your cheeks are connected to Venus, forehead to Mercury, nose to Jupiter. I mean this as the connection of microcosm with the macrocosm. It is so fascinating!

Concentration
Desire is your enemy....Knowledge is vieled by desire

Nature comes around and supports us ...harmony in us brings the harmony from nature.
Q: Guruji, What should a person do to become the best in his profession?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: To excel in your profession balance your life. Meditate every day, sleep well, and in the morning do pranayam and meditation and go to work with a fresh mind. Don’t watch too many movies and not more than one hour of television per day. A movie a week should be enough. This is because when our mind is bombarded with so many impressions, it loses its creative abilities and becomes uncreative. Spend one hour with people. Spend time with somebody whom you do not know.
