Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah
Chapter 2, Text 45
trai‑gunya‑visaya vedanistrai‑gunyo bhavarjuna
nirdvandvo nitya‑sattva‑stho
niryoga‑ksema atmavan
TRANSLATION
The Vedas deal mainly with the subject of the three modes of material nature. O
Arjuna, become transcendental to these three modes. Be free from all dualities
and from all anxieties for gain and safety, and be established in the self
Dhyana : Contemplate and understand the difference between
selfish and unselfish actions.
Step-1 : Bring to your mind a thought about acquiring
something for yourself, like a house, car, or some material thing that is beyond your means to acquire. Desire for
it. Observe the mind and the suffering it undergoes as the desired object cannot be acquired.
Step-2 : Visualize yourself doing a service to the needy.
Observe the bhava of the mind.
Compare the state of mind between step-1 and step-2.
