As Long As You Struggle In Material Life, You Avoid Spiritual Life.

As long as you are struggling, you can struggle either in this direction or that direction. As long as you struggle in material life, you avoid spiritual life. As long as you struggle in spiritual life, you avoid material life. Listen! As long as you struggle with completion, you don't enrich. As long as you struggle with enriching, you are not complete! Both are a struggle.

Kṛṣṇa says, 'Relax from both.' You may think, 'What is this funny instruction He is giving!' You think that if you relax in both you will lose both.

However, the truth is that when you relax in both, you fall into your inner consciousness, your being or your inner space. When you experience this inner space, this inner consciousness, you will suddenly realize that you can explode in all directions. You do not need to choose between horizontal and vertical lines. You can travel on both lines at the same time!

For the first time, Kṛṣṇa gives the ultimate technique for Quantum Spirituality. He is the first quantum scientist of the inner world. He says relax and surrender and you will experience the completion of your inner consciousness.

You will understand that you do not need to choose between the horizontal and vertical lines. You can explode in all 360 degrees. You need not make a choice. You experience choicelessness. Choicelessness does not mean that you do not choose anything. When you stop choosing, you will choose everything.

Enriching and completion, both should be practiced simultaneously. With more and more completion, more and more enriching will happen.

Part 2: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 18 - Lesson 2 of 19_English_part_2.md

With real surrender you do not exclude anything. You include everything. You experience everything at once.

"Again, when I say surrender, you do not need to surrender to any God or Guru. God or Guru are symbols or representations. Just surrender to your own being, to your own consciousness, to your own inner space. The problem is you do not respect your inner space. That is why in the initial level you need an entity called God or Guru."

• Help students discover and respect their inner space. - Help students understand choicelessness.

Understand, responsibility is the fruit. Enriching is sowing the seed for the fruit to happen. Enriching is sharing the fruit to create more fruits. Every person who eats the fruit is responsible for sowing the seed for more fruits to happen. Read the following to the students and ask them to draw the life of a seed and how it creates more and more fruits. Then ask the students to share their thoughts on how they can plant more and more seeds in their own life / how they can enrich others and how enriching others enriches them.

Only by enriching others does your life get enriched.

Without showing the drawing, ask the students to draw a horizontal line that represents the material goals and a vertical line that represents the spiritual goals that they have in their life. Then ask them to write down a few goals on each axis and ask them to point to where their "Being" would be in that drawing. Then ask them to share why they placed their "Being" at that point. After everyone has shared, draw the diagram and explain to them why the Being is placed exactly in the center by using the explanation given in the "inference" section.

"Let me explain what I mean by the word surrender. Then you can understand better. Think of two intersecting lines, axes. The vertical axis is spiritual life. The horizontal axis is material life. The point of intersection is your being. This is the goal you have. You have some goal in your material life and also in your spiritual life. To achieve your goal in your material life, you are continuously struggling and working. You are somewhere on the horizontal axis. To achieve your spiritual goal, you are again working intensely doing yoga, prāṇāyāma, pratyāhāra, etc. You practice spiritual techniques. You are somewhere on the vertical axis. So when you struggle with material goals, you are on the horizontal line whereas when you struggle with spiritual goals, you are on the vertical line.

As long as you are struggling, you can struggle either in this direction or that direction. As long as you struggle in material life, you avoid spiritual life. As long as you struggle in spiritual life, you avoid material life. Listen! As long as you struggle with completion, you don't enrich. As long as you struggle with enriching, you are not complete! Both are a struggle.

Kṛṣṇa says, 'Relax from both.' You may think, 'What is this funny instruction He is giving!' You think that if you relax in both you will lose both. However, the truth is that when you relax in both, you fall into your inner consciousness, your being or your inner space. When you experience this inner space, this inner consciousness, you will suddenly realize that you can explode in all directions. You do not need to choose between horizontal and vertical lines. You can travel on both lines at the same time!"

Ask the students to contemplate and discuss the topic of choicelessness: "Choicelessness does not mean that you do not choose anything. When you stop choosing, you will choose everything". How is it possible to choose everything when we stop choosing?

Surrender to your own being, to your own consciousness, to your own inner space.
