One should be satisfied in three matters - his wife, food and wealth. One should not be satisfied in three matters - gaining knowledge, remembrance of God and charity.

Once our basic needs are fulfilled, we should turn our focus towards a higher plane of our consciousness [and not just keep wanting more and more material gains]. If, all of us can somehow know that our present life is just a part of the continuum of many more such lives and our current living conditions are the result of our previous actions, thought process and compassion, we would always keep our focus alive for knowledge, love [for God] and helping others. It is only through these qualities, we can gain everlasting happiness.

🌷मनस्येकं वचस्येकं कर्मण्येकं महात्मनाम्। मनस्यन्यत् वचस्यन्यत् कर्मण्यन्यत् दुरात्मनाम्॥
The great persons are uniform in their mind, speech and action, but the wicked persons think something else, say something else and do something else.
~Hitopadesh, 1/101
🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
Thought, word and deed should always and at all times, be in harmony, each consistent with the other two. Because then only can grace flow in our heart. Grace will only flow freely when it has a clear and open passage. If thought, word, and deed contradict each other, each one following its own course, the flow of grace will be obstructed. For wicked people grace can never flow and lasting happiness can never be achieved, until they reform their deceitful attitude and behaviour.

Lord Ram consoles Bharat by stating the change as the eternal law of nature and no associations are permanent. He says - People get delighted with the onset of every new season. But they do not realize that their life is reducing amidst this continuous change of seasons. We should look at our associations with others in a similar way :-

Spiritual success lies in consciously attuning yourself with the Cosmic Mind, and in maintaining your peace and poise no matter what irremediable events occur in your life, such as the death of relatives or other losses.
When you are separated from one of your dear ones by the law of Nature, you should not sorrow. Instead, thank God humbly that for a time He gave you the privilege of tending and befriending and keeping in your charge one of His children.
Spiritual success comes by understanding the mystery of life; and by looking on all things cheerfully and courageously, realizing that events proceed according to a beautiful divine plan. For the disease of ignorance, the only cure is knowledge.

Those who lead a worldly life of material desires face its adverse consequences until they realize that no material happiness is free of pain and sorrow. Eventually, their inner awareness increases and the importance of not being attached to the fruits of action dawns on them.
The Gita spontaneously manifests in the hearts of such devotees. They become aware of the unhappiness that follows all material cravings. The path of Nishkama Karma Yoga opens of its own accord.
The devotee develops an ingrained trust in the Lord as the all-merciful and benevolent Presence. The mind of the devotee does not so easily and unconsciously chase after the fruits of action. The true devotee does not feel at ease in the absence of the Divine.
All action is performed with the mind fixed on the Divine. To such a devotee, unhappiness and sorrows do come, but feeling the presence of God within and without as the sole protector, the mind remains unperturbed and blissful.

My Lord, grant me a boon:
Bless me with the eight mystic attainments
But wait, O Compassionate one!
First hear what these attainments should be...
May my ego grow infinitesimal
My Master’s grace abundant
May my desires turn weightless
And my gratitude deepen immeasurably
May I have unlimited access to the Master’s feet
And my devotion overflow
When old compulsions surface
May I no longer be slave to their power
Now all that’s left is the eighth
But wait, it is already found!
What do I gain by asking for absolute lordship
When I am already possessed by the splendour of Sadhguru?

[In modern times] The circle of vision has become so narrow, so degraded, so beastly, so animal! None is desiring anything beyond this body. Oh the terrible degradation. The terrible misery of it! What little flesh, the five senses, the stomach! What is the world but a combination of stomach and sex? Look at millions of men and women- that's what they're living for. Take these away from them and they will find their life empty, meaningless and intolerable. Such are we. And such is our mind; It is continuously hankering for ways and means to satisfy the hunger of the stomach and sex. All the time this is going on. There is also endless suffering; these desires of the body bring only momentary satisfaction and endless suffering. It is like drinking a cup of which the surface layer is nectar, while underneath all is poison. But we still hanker for all these things. What can be done? Renunciation of the senses and desires is the only way out of this misery. If you want to be Spiritual, you must renounce. This is the real test. Give up the world (attachment to world)- this nonsense of the senses. There is only one desire, to know what is True, to be Spiritual. No more materialism, no more egoism. I must become Spiritual. Strong, intense must be the desire.

🌿Don’t worry! Restlessness is the nature of the mind, as it is of the eyes and ears. Practise regularly. The Name of God is more powerful than the senses. Always think of the Master [Guru], who is looking after you. Don’t be troubled about your lapses.
🌿Whenever the mind goes after anything other than God, consider that as transient and surrender the mind at the sacred feet of the Lord.
🌿The mind naturally tends towards evil deeds. It is lethargic in doing good works. Formerly I used to get up at 3 AM and sit up for meditation. One day I felt disinclined to do so on account of physical indisposition. That one day’s irregularity resulted in the upsetting of my routine for a number of days. That is why I say that perseverance and tenacity are necessary for success in all good work.
🌿In time the mind itself becomes the Guru. To pray to God and meditate on Him for two minutes with full concentration is better than doing so for long hours without it.

🌿The deer, the elephant, the moth, the fish and the honey-bee-- these five meet death because of their bondage to one of the five senses. What then is the condition of a person who is attached to all five?

We are all born idolaters, and idolatry is good, because it is in the nature of man. Who can get beyond it? Only the perfect man, the God-man. The rest are all idolaters. So long as we see [or want] this universe before us, with its forms and shapes, we are all idolaters. This [body] is a gigantic symbol we are worshipping. He who says that he is the body, is a born idolater.
