nanam kartarm yaddha,darstha anupasati,
gunebhyas ca param vetti,madhavam so dhigacchati.--19
When a person becomes witness due to his knowledge.when he becomes witness of all the activities.actions,and knows that all the deeds are work of gunas by nature[rajas,sattava,tahmsa].it is the act of mind,body,sense organs but not by witness[me].I am not doer but only 'I AM'only witness and can watch the activities of these things and thus by observation he feels the eternal peace of the self.
It is a very valuable solaka of Gita 19th solaka of the 14th chapter.this is the origin of buddha's vippasana.Buddha said,"watch your steps when you are walking.watch your actions when you are eating.watch your breath when sitting.watch your mind every time.
When practically we start watching our mind than thought process begins to decrease and we feels a cool,peaceful state of mind.if you will start this practice you will feel the taste of bliss[sat-chit-ananda].but we can not define that state through words. If you ever studied j.krishanamurti he says observation should at any time.so when a man becomes observer of his own mind then he can get the self which is our real nature.now your attitude will change towards life.you will no live like an ordinary human.the theory which you have read will becomes practical.this experience one day can lead you towards salvation.
so main point is to observe closely activities of mind and body.it may be Buddha or it may be osho or j.krishanamurti they will describe you the path of observation.
As i am a follower of sant nikka singh ji.he used to teach Bhagwat Gita.we five devotee used to go at ashram at 3A.m for listing Gita.he was a great saint.he never touched money in his whole life.one day he said to me,"when all will go at7a.m.you come to me."when i entered the room he said,"lock the door and take the holy book of Gita"and i did this.
I started to read solakas of Gita of 14th chapter and he explained it one by one briefly.when i red 19th solaka he explained it and after that he said,"It is enough.if you can follow this solaka you will see the truth.there is no need to study further."it is an event of 1982.sant ji died in 1983.In 1986 i red osho and started his dynamic meditation and after i used to sit for two or three hours in observation.and one day i felt that bliss.and after that i i am practicing this method.it is very interesting like a discovery.no one can imagine that such a beauty lies in human body.It is why shri guru Arjun dev ji explained in Gugubani;ish dehi ku simraha dev,
so dehi bahj har ki save
meaning is that this body is very precious .Angels davi davata[God, Goddess]wants that turn when God will give them turn of human body so that they can realized them self.I described this solaka as my intelligence but words can not describe to bliss.they can only indicate the subject.
Pamlo first sanasin of u.k how lived all her life in Himachall[India]in retreat wrote ;two things are necessary for meditation.
1-Patience and Preservence.
