To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
To become conscious we must become Self-aware in the awareness of the observer Self-observing.
We sing the glory of Sri Krishna, who is all truth, all consciousness and all bliss, who is responsible for creation, sustenance and destruction of the universe, and who puts an end to the threefold agony.
Direct the mind resolutely towards God, restraining the senses in their various seats, and looking on the state of the body as a matter of indifference. Realise your oneness with God, remaining continually intent on identifying with its nature…for what use is there in other, empty things?
Only the person having firm conviction and iron volition can attain strength and energy. At no stage of karma does he ever hesitate.
