Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Self-inquiry is concerned with the scientific inquiry into the source of the subjectivity. Then the periphery will take care of itself. The intelligence that is born out of self-inquiry will manifest itself in the periphery and we learn the art of living without conflict in the periphery. The Maha Bharat war and other wars in the human history are due lack understanding of source of subjectivity and leading only a sensual life. If a leaf of a big tree is damaged the roots of the tree will not be affected but if the roots are diseased it will affect the entire tree including the leaves. So if the mind is not healthy, in a state of Self-ignorance it affects the whole human life including the health of the body. Bhagawad Gita is a scripture on human psychology and so it is relevant to the whole humanity irrespective of their conditioning Unless you understand the mechanics of workings of your own mind you cannot reach the state of no-mind. This understanding of working of your own mind is self-inquiry. The state of no-mind happens as naturally as it should be. So for people with psychological problems Gita is a better book than spiritual scriptures. The pity of humanity is that they somehow adjust to the Self-ignorant life and go on postponing to jump out of stream that is created by Self-ignorant activity though they have an opportunity to jump out of it. For them known devil is better than unknown angel. Among all who participated in Maha Bharata war it is only Arjuna who dared to jump out of this conflict creating Self-ignorant activity. Life is only for those who live it intensely like Arjuna and mental transformation is certainty for him. Those who lead a peripheral life and run away from the conflicts presented to them cannot reach the divine. Ramana Maharshi at a very tender age of 16 faced death fear and gone beyond it and settled in the ultimate reality once and forever. Truth is only for such daring people, it is not for cowards leading a casual sensate and vegetative life. We are conscious beings but we never use our consciousness to resolve the life problems but we depend on beliefs, dogma, to face the present life situations. We cannot run away from our own mind, the "false I" will always follow us wherever we go. An individual who is not courageous enough to be in the world cannot renounce anything at mental level. A sannyasin is one who transcended the world through mental renunciation. This chapter is called Arjuna Vishada yoga(Yoga of despair). Blessed are the people who experience despair for they find a way out of this Self-ignorant life. Despair is the process through which bliss can arise. Despair marks the beginning of journey towards bliss. But Arjna's despair is not yet ripe because still he wants kingdom and show it to his relatives without killing them. Buddha and Mahavira renounced their kingdom out of understanding that there no happiness to be gained with having a kingdom. But Arjuna's case is different, he still has hopes of being happy winning a kingdom and to enjoy with family members.So through Bhagawad Gita lord Sri Krishna made his mind ripe enough to receive the truth and make him a wise man with Self-knowledge.After tasting Self knowledge Arjuna fought the war without any doer-ship.Action with doer-ship makes our life miserable.With Self knowledge we will learn the art of action without any doer-ship.Whatever the challenge we respond from awareness spontaneously unlike previously where we used to act with ideation with a goal.Bhagawad Gita is the only scripture which tells us how to act.Action is life in relationship and how we act is very important in life. For that purpose Bhagawad Gita is the best book. In all 18 chapters of the books Lord Krishna points out the importance of having Self knowledge and the direct path to have the Self knowledge is self-inquiry.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Personality is development of evolutionary process with consciousness entangled in tendencies and trivial sensate values.Man functions from personality with its innate limitations and self centered activity.Such activity is antagonistic to other persons and so any such activity produces conflict, strife, misery, sorrow.But humanity knows only that type of activity which is socially and legally sanctioned.Life means action at various levels.There cannot be any life without action and our present way with its action is producing enormous sorrow to humanity.Seeing this some escape altogether from activity and try to renounce from the world.Without understanding the full implications of such activity, renunciation inevitably leads to new bondage and problems.Life is a ground to learn the skill of living life act in a sane manner.So we have to inquire into whether there is such an action which does not bring conflict, sorrow knowing fully well life means action.Doer-ship is inherent to action that proceeds from personality and we are badly identified with the personality.Action that proceeds from the so called "doer" who is essentially a quintessence of all his "past" experiences is future oriented and unless we go into what is personality, the "me" which is the source of misery to humanity we will not have a clarity about an alternative action which does not bring conflict, strife, sorrow.Personality is imposition of ideas over your consciousness mainly by the society to keep you enslaved to them so that you will become a hindrance to the corrupt ways of society.Once you start doing self-inquiry you will realize for yourself the imposed false values of society over you.Just observing them without any judgement produces a radical revolution in your mind.Then you discard for yourself "what you not"voluntarily and start acting on your own understanding without submitting to authority of any kind. Then slowly, slowly you are freed from these imposed limitation.Then action proceeds from awareness which has no limitation and so such action is not future oriented and without any "doer".Action without "doer" brings joy because now you are acting from your very core of being without any intentions whatsoever.Then consciousness which is entangled in false values so far causing the mind to fight with itself and get degenerated gets freed and becomes one with the universal consciousness.Freedom from identity with limited adjuncts starts like this only and ends ends with the union of liberated consciousness with the pure consciousness.Tendencies are formed only when one does the self centered activity mechanically.After all any habit is born out of mechanistic action.Man is nothing but a collection of tendencies.We act according to the dictates of our tendencies.Habits which finally crytallize as the tendencies are possible only when one is metaphysicaly asleep in sensate values. Once you start self-inquiry awareness is brought into the scene and once you think and act in awareness habits and tendencies will not be formed and old tendencies gradually Adi Sankara said "Vasana kshayam Moksham"(Annihilation of tendencies is liberation). A mind that is free of tendency and so empty can comprehend the reality.Such a mind dissolves in the ultimate and becomes one with it.Then old habit of action from a false center "me"no longer happens and so there is ending of sorrow.The ending of "me" is the ending of sorrow because there is no sorrow when there is no "me'.In such a person in which ending of "me" has happened because he has no residual tendencies to be spent, he no longer requires any body and he just remains as pure consciousness being spread all over existence without any individual identity or a private thought-feeling.Such one is a master. So in self-inquiry the dew drop becomes one with the ocean.So let us al do self-inqu Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

We can perceive the truth partially through senses because senses are basically limited in their range of perception. So all sense knowledge is only half truth including the scientific knowledge. That is why scientific theories goes on changing and in course of time they contradict their own findings. It is a natural consequence of observing through senses only. A century ago physicists are quite confident that atom is the basic particle with which universe is built. Later they found electron, proton, and neutron. For some time they felt that they are the only subatomic particles. After some years they said quark particles are final subatomic particles. In course of time they found quark particles do not exist at all. Now they say "Neutrino" is the fundamental particle with which electron is made of and so all universe is made of "neutrino" particle. The electron itself behaves as a wave of energy sometimes and if it is observed by electron microscope it looks as though it is a particle. So electron is interchanging as energy and matter. All half truths are like this if we try to do self-inquiry with a limited instrument like thought. Half truths make you oscillate from happiness to unhappiness and vice versa. Only whole truth make you blissful which is beyond both happiness and unhappiness. Half truths are transient. If you look at half truths you become restless and miserable. So Krishna is asking Arjuna to look at whole truth. Half truth is like earth and whole truth is lie sky. The cervical spine of pigs is arranged in such a way that they can look only at the earth but they cannot bend their neck upwards to see the sky. In their whole life pigs do not see the sky even once. Though man has freedom to see the whole truth he is not utilizing that opportunity and instead he is wasting precious human life in indulging and accumulating trivia. Ours is a sensate culture. We have to recognize the truth in its totality and find our centre of our being. Self-inquiry is a journey from half truth to whole truth. We leave the half truths only through understanding of it but not by avoiding them. If you avoid them deep down you still have some hopes in half truths. Renunciation means understanding the nature of half truth and finding for ourselves that there is no enduring happiness and peace in them and so never get attached to them. Once you are free from identity from half truths you will land in the whole truth which is the sky of pure conscious being and you will be blissful without any effort on your part. Effort is just a mental activity. Effort creates its own frontiers, objectives, its own limitations. Effort has the time binding quality and all half truths are time bound, so effort never throws you out of this time bound half truths. So it is only through understanding the nature of these half truths through self-inquiry we are free from identity with them. Suppose if you say I must meditate the effort puts a limitation on your mind. We can make our mind bound or free. Effort limits the mind, so effort is evil, a self centred activity. From childhood we are conditioned to make effort, to improve ourselves, to become something as Arjuna. The more effort we make the duller the mind becomes. Effort makes our attention limited and directed. Many do self-inquiry with effort. It is just like doing good in wrong direction because it only creates further mental conflict. That is why Krishna asking Arjuna to discover the totality of truth. He is not advising any fresh mental discipline, belief, dogma to solve his problem. He is trying to awaken Arjuna from deep metaphysical sleep of Arjuna by de-conditioning him. Masters come to awaken people into Self but not to impart inform Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
