Yetha Udhdhava They Prashna: Sarve Sadhu Niroopitha: | Kim Varnithena Bahuna  Lakshanam Gunadhoshayo: | Guna Dhosha Dhrishir Dhosho Gunasthoobhayavarjitha: ||

Bhagavan speaks “ Oh! Udhdhava, an intellectual knows thoroughly about the bondage and Moksha.  Oh! Udhdhava, you can lead your mind to the state of heaven as well as hell, the people who are soaked in worldly matters and bondage are ignorant, I am the ultimate asylum for all, and a serene mind experiences heaven.  People who are dissatisfied, depressed, mourn over the past life events and get anxious about the future, experiences hell.  Oh! Udhdhava heaven and hell are the two different states of your mind, the Sathvik thoughts bring happiness, and the Thamasik thoughts bring grief.  Oh! Udhdhava, always remember that I am your constant companion, relative and a preceptor as well, your body is an temporary residence, it has given to elevate your soul before emptying it.  Oh! Udhdhava, a Gunadya/virtuous person never hurt anyone by words, deeds or mind, and will accept all the unpleasant act as the will of supreme Lord, a Dharidhra/pauper is one who is unhappy and not content in life, a wealthiest one is who receives all the happenings in life as the grace of supreme Lord, a Kripana/miser is one who has no control over senses.  Oh! Udhdhava, I have explained by all those were experienced by illustrious Rishis and Sages and attained an elevation of souls, the superior Sadhana/practice is an abandonment of good and evil.  It is the practice of not letting the mind get agitated in the happenings of good and evil.”
