Reflections on Chapter 2 - Alpana

Alpana ---------- Stithapragya - manogathan - all the desires of the mind are renounced. Self does not have any desires. No desires - no ambition? Not doing anything is an action! Instinctive actions show that even without desires we act Fear & attachment are also out of desires. When people suffer with a pattern - we may want to help; not to get any particular outcome. When this goes away, there are no dissipation of energies. When one has given up desires, what is the purpose of life? Stitapragya is happy within self, by self. One has realized their own swaroopa. When happiness is from within, then nothing needs to be done to 'derive'happiness.
