The Bhagavad Gita - II - 53

Rooting the head deep

Shrutivipratipanna te yada sthasyathi Nishchala|
Samadhavachala Buddhihi Tada Yogamavapsyasi||

When the intellect that is being fed constantly by the mind with conflicting thoughts and images, stands without movement rooted deeply in consciousness, at that time you achieve the state of yoga, says Sri Krishna.
In any crisis, the sense organs feed the mind with numerous thoughts - Oh! this is happening now. There is just Rs. 70 in my bank account. I have so many bills to pay and so many things to buy. How am I going to manage that?
All that time, if the intellect takes the decision to root itself in consciousness, then the state of yoga or connectivity with the universal consciousness is achieved.
- Swahilya Shambhavi.

The Bhagavad Gita - Chapter II - Vs. 52

Transcend the delusory mind

Yada Te Moha Kalilam Buddhivyati tarishyati|
Tada Gantasi Nirvedam Shrotavyasya Shrutasyacha||

Whe your intellect transcends the mixture of illusion, then you remain untouched by the experiences of all that you have heard and are yet to hear about. When the intellect is rooted in purity, transcending the mind, then nothing seen, heard or experienced affects its stability. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter II: Verse - 51

Freedom from births and deaths

Karmajam Buddhi Yuktahi Phalam Tyaktva Maneeshinaha|
Janma Bandha Vinirmukthaha Padam Gacchantyanamayam||

The beings endowed with an intellect that is united with the essence within will renounce the results of their actions. By doing this, they become free from the cycle of births and deaths and reach that state of mind which is changeless.
- Swahilya Shambhavi.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter II - Verse - 50

Unite the intellect with the divine

Buddhiyukto Jayateeha Ubhe Sukrita Dushkrite|
Tasmaad Yogaaya Yujyasva Yogah Karma Sukaushalam||

---------------
The three important words in this verse has been taken as the motto of the Indian Administrative Service - Yogah Karma Sukaushalam.
Doing one's action well unto perfection is Yoga. With the intellect connected to the divine within in Yoga, and not being concerned about the effect of one's action good or bad, but focussing 100 per cent on the action itself is yoga, says Sri Krishna.
You strive towards doing action in such a state of yoga, exhorts Sri Krishna to Arjuna, pointing out to him that Yoga is nothing but skill in action. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter II : Verse 49

Soak the intellect in consciousness

Doorenahyavaram Karma Buddhi Yoga Dhananjaya|
Buddhau Sharanaman Viccha Kripanah Phalahetavaha||

Sri Krishna tells Arjuna that pitiable is the person who does actions in expectation of results. It is definitely far inferior to the action done with the intellect united with the divine and held in a state of surrender. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter II - Verse - 48

Stand in yoga and do your work

Yogasthah Kuru Karmani Sangam Tyakthwa Dhananjaya
Sidhya Siddhyo Samo Bhuthwa Samathwam Yoga Uchyate
Standing steadily in yoga, with your individual consciousness connected with the consciousness in every moment oh Arjuna, do your duties without attaching yourself to the results of your actions. The result can be currently favourable or unfavourable. If you get either excited by the benefits or put off by the disconcerting results, the disturbed mind will affect the action happening in the present moment.
Accepting victory and defeat on an equal plane, forge ahead as this equanimity of mind is only called yoga, says Sri Krishna to Arjuna. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Bhagavad Gita: Chapter II - Verse - 48

Be Rooted in Yoga

Yogasthah Kuru Karmani Sangam Tyaktwa Dhananjaya|
Siddhya Siddhyo Samo Bhuthwa Samathwam Yoga Uchyate||

Oh Arjuna, the way to do action is by rooting the mind in Yoga or union with the supreme consciousness. You should be non-attached to victories and defeats, successes and failures which may be the result of your actions. If you have an equanimity in the face of success or failure, then that Samatwa or equality is called Yoga. - Swahilya Shambhavi.
