Whether the state is of Sankhya Yogi or a man of yoga of action it is necessary that the inner state should be well under control. Extrovertedness is in any case not acceptable on the spiritual path. The implication of the inner state being under control is introvertedness; by introvertedness we mean abidance in the Self or in the divine spirit. In the absence of this, it is not possible to remain in a state of introvertedness. By abidance in Self only one can go beyond the bondage of doing and causing to be done. This kind of arrogance that "I am the doer" cannot persist in a man who is united in yoga. If he has this kind of arrogance then he cannot be a man of either Sankhya yoga or Yoga of action. The fact which deserves thought is that he gets nothing done either. In reality, in the light of the spirit of Selfhood, actions take place on its own. All parts keep on performing their own functions, just as in the presence of the sun everyone keeps on performing his deeds, but the sun remains an uninvolved power. Precisely, this is the state described.

Renounce all actions mentally. Even if the one gives up actions bodily but the thought of it persists in the mind, bondage will continue! On the other hand, if actions are being carried out by the body but the mind does not have the least bit of egoism and clinging-this renunciation is actual as per the Gita. This renunciation is the basis of natural happiness, for which a mysterious indication has been given here-'navadvare pure dehi'...living in the body of nine gates! Two ears, two eyes, two nostrils, one mouth and two lower openings-anus and genitals-by calling the body a city a comparison has been drawn.

Nobody should conclude that the body is a place for suffering only. In the process of change there is tension, restlessness and grief that will persist constantly for the embodied soul. No, it is not at all necessary. This verse is meant as an annulment. Living with this attitude it is possible to live life happily Come and let us make it a possibility in our life. Whatever is not possible the Lord has not stated nor can He do so. The inspirations from the Gita are meant for making it an experience in day-to-day life. Observe the depth of each verse and also observe the style of expounding it in a simple manner and keep yourself associated with its philosophy-
