TRANSFORMABLE,
BE COMPLETE
Kṛṣṇa goes one step further. All along He told us how to cleanse our inner space and how to realize the Divine consciousness within. Now, in the last verse He says that one who does so attains liberation, regardless of his present position, sarvathā vartamāno ‘pi na sa bhūyo ‘bhijāyate (13.24).
Every being is moving towards the Divine, whether or not the being is aware of it. We take on this body to fulfill certain desires. If we truly put our energies into dissolving these desires, we have no reason to take another birth to fulfill these desires. The incompletion happens when we start to lead somebody else’s life and forget we are here to live our desires and not others’ desires. We constantly borrow other people’s desires and accumulate them in us.
Then, before we start realizing our true nature, it becomes time to leave this body. We take with us the entire baggage of unfulfilled desires and take another body again. The universe again and again tries to help us dissolve our desires so that we become free of them. But we resist by not feeling responsible for what happens within and around us.
Kṛṣṇa says that an understanding of kṣetra or prakṛti straightaway liberates us. We are caught up in pursuing sense pleasures and accumulating desires as long as we associate ourselves with this body. The minute we understand that we are beyond the body and mind, we suddenly realize, ‘What stupidity to run in this rat race!

Understand, your cognition is
changeable, transformable is the
first cognition you need.
Whenever people realize that
they are beyond the bondages of
body and mind, that their
cognition is changeable,
spontaneous Enlightenment
happens. When people who go
on doing completion, with their
body and mind, along with the
basic root-pattern that their
cognition is not changeable;
then finally, at one point, they
break and understand that
cognition is changeable, they
become enlightened. That is
called Enlightenment process,
gradual Enlightenment. People
who immediately understand
that cognition is changeable and
awaken, are people who have
become spontaneously
enlightened, they have instant
Enlightenment.
