17. Selfless, Unattached Enriching (3.17-3.20)

# **Selfless, Unattached Enriching (3.17-3.20)**

You are eternal bliss itself. You are enough unto yourself; you are completely satisfied. Nothing exists for you to achieve because you are already the ultimate that you can achieve!

Existence is taking care of you every moment. The very fact that you are alive proves that Existence wants you here, now. This is the ultimate cause for celebration! Your suffering, your incompletion is only because you don't trust that you are being provided for; because you carry a deep self-doubt and consider yourself separate from Existence.

Here Kṛṣṇa gives a beautiful example of King Janaka, a true karma yogi, a man of selfless authenticity in action. He was a king and yet was unattached, liberated.
