In plain words
He sought nothing. Even when asked, ‘Do you want this?’, he was not one to ask for anything for himself. He laid every burden on God. Whatever he did, he did thinking, ‘This is God's work.’ That is why this Bhagavad Gītā has taken shape so beautifully, in the right words.
There must be both steady faith and the spirit of offering
First of all every person must develop faith in God and self-confidence. If there is self-confidence, there is self-satisfaction. If there is self-satisfaction, self-sacrifice becomes possible. Only when there is self-sacrifice does self-realisation come. So there are three steps to self-realisation. The first is self-confidence, the second self-satisfaction, the third self-sacrifice. Only when these three come together does man attain fullness. That is Pūrṇimā. That is, a state without any fault at all. That is why the Bhagavad Gītā teaches these three above all. To grow attached to worldly things is only like building castles in the air. They go just as they came. So first of all we must develop self-confidence. Some people worship God for a while. Then, if their desires are not fulfilled, they come to hate God. Such people are demons, not human beings. First one must see God; then faith in God must come; then one must worship. One must be offered up to God. Only when there are both, steady faith and the spirit of offering, does man have peace of mind. Such a man is honoured by everyone in the world.
It is not enough merely to read books or give lectures. Only what you put into practice becomes yours.
