The core theme emphasizes the importance of persistent, patient effort and unwavering resolve in spiritual practice, likening the journey to building Rome or raising an elephant, rather than expecting immediate results.

[Music]
translation those who take praise and
reproach alike who are given to silent contemplation
contemplation
content with what comes their
way without attachment to place of
residence whose intellect is firmly
fixed in me and who are full of Devotion
and then Lord Krishna is going
says without attachment to the place of
residence the
devote does not have attachment to the
place of residence because the devote
knows it's
temporary we will leave it all
behind Akbar the mugal
emperor in
DHI in bhatar which is now India he made
his Capital fatur SRI a huge
castle and there was the bridge over the
mo he wrote out there an inscription in Persian
Persian
this world is like a
bridge cross over it but make no house on
on
it what he meant was that ultimately
it's all
temporary so don't be over attached kpu
he says live in this world as a traveler
would live in a
dhala so in India philanthropic people
they make free
hotels for Wayside
Travelers now when you come and stay in
that kind of
dhala you don't bother that the curtain
on my windows has a little tear out here
a little paint from the wall has come
off see I just have to be here for two
nights who cares my goal is
ahead so likewise the
devote lives in this world not giving it excessive
excessive
importance Lord Krishna says without
and those whose intellect is firmly
fixed in me
me
this technically God realization can
happen in a
moment you surrender you'll become God
realized but realistically it takes time
to internalize the knowledge to change
the habits of the mind to cultivate
those new habits of divine thoughts it
does take time so it is a
journey now if you put in a little
effort then change your mind then again
put in some effort then again change your
your
mind then you will not reach the
ultimate goal to reach the goal you need
to be [Music]
[Music]
persistent you say okay now Swami G what
he told me I've got all the knowledge
tomorrow I'll try
it and then tomorrow you sat down to try
you did not get any spiritual
ladas what it's too much too difficult
next so that kind of fluctu sitation is
not going to lead to
anything we should not be eager for quick
quick
results because again it's an attachment for
for
results rather be eager for a wonderful
Journey where you are doing your best
all the
time one elephant and one dog they got
pregnant at the same time
after the 3 months the dog had those
litter of puppies six of them wonderful little
little
creatures and the Elephant had no
child after 6 months the dog was
pregnant again and again after 3 months
it had a litter of puppies this cycle
repeated itself for 2 years and baby
elephant was still not
out so the dog started doubting are you
sure you have a baby in your
stomach the elephant said yes but
difference my baby when it comes and
walks on the earth the earth will
tremble people will stand and look at it in
in
awe it will in the temples carry the
Lord on its back and Kings will ride on
it for that kind of a creation time is
necessary to make a
Toyota in the factory it takes only 14
hours to make a Rolls-Royce Take 6
months so the wonderful goal that we all
Aspire for is a wonderful goal what you
need is patience
cuz Rome is not built in a
day so in this patience
perance comes by the firmness of our
resolve if you are firmly resolved then
so that is why this quality of firm
resolve it is the decision of the
intellect it is the inner exercise of
our free will I have this wonderful path
I will have faith in it and I will
persevere with deter
mination no matter what the
difficulty Shri arindo put it so
well he
said you have to be more
persistent than the difficulty there is
no other
way difficulties and challenges will
come to test you to trip
you to finish you to discourage you
what is the option be more persistent
than the difficulty that is the only way
to success if you know of any other way tell
tell
me there is only one way of course so
many people Swami G you know I've got
this problem yes yes just carry on Swami
G so they're hoping Swami G will you
know like shake a magic wand and all the
problems will go
away has to say look why don't you learn
to make peace with the
dandelion so be more
persistent than the difficulty and this
will come
remember Rome will not be built in a
day so you have to have the ability it
is how much you are changing on a daily
basis we people overestimate what we can
change in a
day yesterday I was a sinner today I'll
become a saint I did not become a saint
oh this path is wrong and something is
wrong here no you change one person
today and you carry on changing one%
every day and the space of a year you'll
350% so the last message on this verse
there was a
clock the clock maker he made the
grandfather clock which is nowadays not
a very common item but he did make it
and he was about to start its
movement where he heard a sigh hey
bhagan the clock maker said where did
the sound come from and he discovered
that the clock was speaking the clock
maker said what are you so worried about
the clock said I was just thinking about
the hundreds of thousands of times I
would have to do tick tock tick tock
tick Tok and I was the calculations were
mindboggling I was staggering under the
weight of it
all the clock maker said that's all
right just one Tick Tock at a
time the clock adopted the policy and it
started doing one Tick Tock at a time it
is still
running so just focus on the best you
can do right now the goal that Lord
Krishna has
said how will I ever reach that just one
tick to at a
translation those who honor this nectar
of wisdom declared here have faith in me
and are devoted and intent on me as the
supreme goal they are
exceedingly dear to me the chapter began
from this point where Arjun asked
Krishna that who do you consider
best worship of the formless or the personal
personal
form and Lord Krishna explained that
worship of the personal form gives the closest
closest
realization it is an easy path I
consider that the
best and then he gave options if you
can't absorb your mind completely then
you do this or you do this or you do
this and this and this and and then he
explained the qualities of his devotees
who are very dear to him now he
concludes so everybody has his style
Lord Krishna also has his
style like I may have some style which
I'm unaware of you must be aware Swami
keeps doing this this this the Lord
Krishna style is he speaks a few verses
then he
summarizes so every six seven verses he
sues then at the end of the chapter he
summarizes so he is now giving the
summary that those who treat this
message like
nectar who have faith The Firm resolve
who are devoted who keep me as the goal
the supreme goal oh Arjun they are the
ones whom I consider the
best so we have now now got all this
knowledge it is now up to
us to what extent we implement it in our
lives so if we don't then we cannot
blame God oh God I didn't know what was
to be done God says you went to the jko
retreat you know very well what was to be
be
done no excuse
so our work now is to apply all of this
go into silent contemplation on a daily
basis this is your daily sadhana [Music]
