We are devotees of God's murti murti 1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship.

So the solution is that dhyan is opposed to the mind's restlessness. What is dhyan opposed to? Dhyan is opposed to the mind's restlessness. As long as there is restlessness in the mind, dhyan is not possible. True. Whereas nishkam seva yog yog The philosophy of focusing and quieting the fluctuations Tap to open in glossary → Nishkam seva. Who are its opponents? Ego. The vasanas of this world are all its opponents. True. Nishkam seva yog yog The philosophy of focusing and quieting the fluctuations Tap to open in glossary → Perhaps while practicing dhyan, the mind began to remain stable in meditation. That is, its restlessness has decreased, so it cannot be assumed that desires, attachments, and other flaws have also been removed from it. One may be doing dhyan. And what is he fighting against? 'Chanchalam hi mana Krishna Krishna 1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd. This is considered to be a greater avatãr than the others, as Shree Krishna possessed all of the powers of Bhagvãn, whereas other avatãrs possessed less power. Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan. Tap to open in glossary → And if someone fights and reduces the mind's restlessness, does their ego go away from their heart? Do desires go away? The Gita says no, they do not. The statement in the Gita, 'Dhyanat karmaphal tyagah shreshtha,' means that its restlessness goes away, but ego and vasana do not go away merely by doing dhyan. And if nishkam karmayog is fighting, it is fighting all of these. Nishkam seva is fighting against ego. As long as a person is egoistic, they cannot perform seva with a nishkam bhav. And if there is some vasana or something else, they also cannot perform seva with a nishkam bhav. So if he wins that fight, his ego and all vasanas are destroyed, and his work progresses. Then vasana and such will not remain within him. And when vasana goes away, the mind's restlessness automatically goes away. The yogis, by force, make the mind sit down. But even if they are yogis, after dhyan, when they come out, they become like us. All these examples mentioned earlier, like Chyavan Rishi, who became covered by an anthill while doing dhyan. So, did he have mental restlessness or not? He did. Whether there is mental restlessness or not. No. After becoming covered by an anthill, where would mental restlessness be? Otherwise, one would say, 'Okay, I meditated for two hours today,' and then get up and read a newspaper like us. That doesn't happen to him. So, the mind's restlessness completely went away, but did vasana go away? The scriptures say no, vasana did not go away. After rising from the anthill, he married Sukanya. So, dhyan and its fighting are against what? Nishkam seva yog yog The philosophy of focusing and quieting the fluctuations Tap to open in glossary → So, dhyan is fighting against the mind's restlessness.

It does not remain. That is why God wrote this statement after much thought: 'Dhyanat karmaphal tyagah shreshtha.' Renouncing the fruits of action, performing seva with a nishkam bhav, is superior even to dhyan. But not everyone agrees, that's why. In the Gita, God is convinced, and God tries to convince Arjuna.
