The panacea for misery : Devotional surrender towards Krishna

Universal Values and MoralityScientific Wisdom

In Bhagvad Geeta , Lord Krishna states about attainment of inner bliss. A person who is able to conquer the rigid form of desires by adhering to the principles of devotion and meditation becomes deserving of enamour and compassion of GOD.
Lord Krishna making Arjuna as a medium is advising us to completely surrender to the Almighty while performing the prescribed actions. Lord states that an action immersed in worship sanctifies the Karma and makes it par excellence. A person who constantly harps on the fruits of his deeds is considered parsimonious as such a person would not have the faith towards GOD.

The fruits of one’s deeds do not lie with the doer. It is the prerogative of the Almighty to confer the person with appropriate benison according to the quality of his karma . Hence, it becomes the prime duty of an individual to dedicate each of his karma to the Almighty. Such a practice would elevate him to the reverential vertex in the society.

On the contrary, if a person is not in devotional conjunction with the Almighty, then he/she would suffer from a decrepit and wavering mind. A volatile mind can never offer peace and in the paucity of peace and tranquility how can one get the shelter of happiness? This is a scientific vindication of the state that a person goes through in life. An individual takes refuge in alcohol and drugs or ponder to commit suicide in an attempt to elude tensions. Where is the peace of mind? Will intoxication help in retrieving the peace and happiness? NO. It would exacerbate the tumultuous situation and take the person to another dead end of misery.

The reason for a person to get drawn into suicide remains the same wherein his /her desires are not fulfilled. The unaccomplished aspirations get transmogrified into depression. The unbearable depressed state of mind along with irrepressible anger fuses the cerebral power knocking him/her down into a stage of self inflicted calamity. Suicide is an imprecation and not a solution to any issue.
Intoxication is fine but it should be intoxication of devotion towards GOD. Alcohol would destroy not just a person but the entire household but intoxication of worship of GOD will bring a state of consciousness and intelligence into the person.

Lord Krishna has endowed the essence of enlightenment that a person who dedicates his deeds (Satkarma) to the Almighty would never have the inclination towards the results of his / her karma. This particular quality or characteristic is a boon and would relieve the person from all deplorable circumstances. The spiritual propensity would ultimately reward a person with transcendental bliss and the power to succeed on all occasions.
