The real spiritual meaning of 'Ma phaleshu kadachana' is that you realise that you are not really working - the soul is working. If soul does not inhale, Arjun cannot expect any fruit. Through soul is working through Arjuna, so the soul will receive the fruit of his work. In the Bhagvad Gita (11:33) it says 'nimittamatram bhava savyasachin' " O Arjun, you are merely an instrument; I am the operator of the instrument."
The reward of any activity does not go to the instrument, it goes to the operator of the instrument. The Lord is explaining that you cannot avoid human activity, but when you become a humble instrument, everything you do is spiritual work.

Human beings are born for God-realization. The marvelous power of God is dormant and hidden inside His entire creation. As the cloud covers the sun, the demonic qualities cover the soul sun. To be absorbed in the inner light of the Self and to be free from all negative qualities, you must nurture and protect your spiritual qualities. Spiritual food and lifestyle, and spiritual practice such as Kriya meditation will quicken spiritual evolution. You can be free from sorrow, worry, anxiety, fear, and ups and downs. Dwelling above the pituitary and watching God, you experience peace, bliss, and joy. Then, surely you will proceed upward to the infinite north, to His presence, realizing the living presence of the formless God, godhood, and liberation -- victory in everything.

There are four stages of evolution:
1) When the creative knot of the Brahma granthi is crossed, and we get control over the lower three centres, we begin to see the presence of divine energy manifested everywhere.
2) When we go a little higher, we perceive God's presence with eyes open or eyes closed; this perception becomes an innate and natural reflex.
3) Finally, when we reach the summit, we realize that we were always united with God. There is no separation and never was.
4) When we even go beyond that, we attain the state of nirvikalpa. When we attain this state, we become free from all inward attachments, and live in the world like a free soul. Is our individuality lost in this state? On the contrary, real individuality is gained. We discover who we are.

We suffer when there is no knowledge and no experience of our true divine essence. One takes care of the causal body, remaining established in Truth. This may be achieved through self-effort. The causal body of knowledge grows with spiritual experience. When this growth is complete, realisation is complete. While the gross body is born and dies, the astral body and causal body transmigrate. Whenever the astral and causal bodies are not in perfect form, the gross body becomes sick. Most people don't know how to take care of the astral and causal bodies. If we suffer from any physical illness, we go to the doctor. If we are psychologically unbalanced, we go to the psychiatrist. Yet all this brings only temporary relief.

Spiritual life is the permanent way to cure illnesses, because it takes us to the root of the problem. The root problem is that one does not know who one is.

Some people may wonder what is the purpose of the Divine Mother keeping her child in such ignorance when it is her creation. For this creation to continue there is a need for some degree of ignorance. She, therefore, keeps the child allured with the toys of the body, mind and sense objects. Many people enjoy this play of ignorance without knowing that they are ignorant. When the child matures, he throws away the toys and cries for the mother; at that time, the mother runs to the child. In the same way, avidya or ignorance is also the play of the Divine Mother.

In summary, ignorance brings imperfect experience and the acceptance of the unreal as real. But through the practice of Kriya Yoga, when afflictions are eliminated, then ignorance makes way for the path of real understanding and experience.

Most of our energy lies untapped, because rather than looking to the source, we spend our precious time searching for answers outside of ourselves. Meditation is the key with which we can unlock the treasures buried deep within us that can transform our lives from ordinary to extraordinary. We can be successful in every arena of life and be filled with love and happiness.

When you give your pet dog a bath, you clean its body nicely with soap and water. After that, if you do not chain your dog, it will run here and there, and will roll on the floor and the make its body dirty again. Your mind is just like a dog. During meditation your mind is cleaned from thoughts, emotions, and negative qualities. But after meditation your mind should be tied with the soul. Otherwise your mind will be running here and there, forgetting the soul. So chain your mind, and tie it with the soul.

The formless is manifested as different names and forms, so every spiritual seeker must train the mind to recognise the presence of God in everything. This is the art of living in the presence of God. Perceiving the living presence of God in family, friends, at work, in flowers, fruits, and trees, in every object and every element. As the waves and ocean are one, the world and God are one. You can see this by watching the breath and by perceiving the manifestation of God in everything. The proverb says, " If you cannot see God in all, you cannot see God at all. "
