It is very heartening to learn from Lord Krishna that all beings emanate from one Lord of universe and they have no end as they are eternal. It is only identification and attachment which bind the eternal self with bodies.
Cycle of transmigration can be stopped. We have to realize here it self in the present human form that we are not body but the body has relevance to our past tendencies which arise out of self soul’ relations with three evolutes of material nature.
For this mind, intellect is to be freed from identification with material nature.
A desire less mind renouncing material craving becomes thoughtless about material nature. It stays in body for the period of destiny and then goes in service of Supreme Self, Lord Krishna.
Lord Krishna says in Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta:
Nirasheeryatchitatma tyakatsarvparigrahah I
Shariram kevalam karam kurvannapnotikilvisham II (4.21)
A self soul having renounced all craving and having subdued his mind and body, giving up all objects of material enjoyments, but only performs sheer bodily action incurs no sin.
Greatest sin is attachment. It is sin because it binds the self soul in cycle of transmigration. Pure and eternal self is put to bondage by way of its own fault of identification with material nature.
Sattavam rajastam iti gurhah parkriti sambhavah I
Nibadhnanti mahabao dehe dehinamavayayam II(Geeta 14.5)
Oh Mighty armed! Sattava, Rajas and Tamas- these three qualities of nature tie down the IMPERISHABLE soul to the BODY.
Every human made religions admit that soul is imperishable.
This imperishable has identified itself with perishable and has un-necessary caused bondage.
Modification is fictitious and is destined to end.
It is self soul’s own ploy, own fault, own misdeed, own misadventure, roping it in bondage.
With self realization dawning upon self soul one is ever free.
The moment one drops all desires and lust, one is free.
It is possible by practice.
Even if one fails in his endeavor at initial stage, but one has not to be self discouraged. One is one’s own friend and as well one’s own enemy. One has to lift one self by one’s own efforts and should not degrade one self.
One’s own self is friend of the soul by whom lower self consisting of mind, senses and body has been conquered, other wise it is one’s own enemy as it is pushing itself in deep well of transmigration.
The self soul who has subdued its mind, body and senses and given up all material sensual enjoyments and is free from craving, but appearing to take all bodily actions, verily does not incur sin.
Self soul is sinless and so we are, that is I am.
Material body is different from consciousness which our real self.
Yadidrchhalabhsantushto dvandvatito vimatsarah I
Samah sidhavsidho ch kritvaapi na nibadhyate II (4.22)
The Karamyogi, who is content with whatever he gets without effort, free from jealousy, has transcended all opposites like pleasure and pain, joy and grief and is same in success and failure, is not bound by action.
The yogi, who acts without attachment, is satisfied with whatever he gets without any desire and efforts. He who is free from envoy, jealousy and has transcended all opposites like loss and gain, pain and pleasure, joy and grief, hot and cold, friend and foe, desire and detachment , same in success and failure, though doing acts, is not bound by actions.
