Let Go of the Reins Then the Practice of 'Doership’ Will Go Away!
Here, in Akram, we do not have worldly samayik, dhyan, or any other rituals. All that, you find on the outside. Worldly samayik or dhyan means that you decide on an external boundary for yourself and then you do not allow anything to enter into it. You continue to push out anything that tries to come into it.

I will not let this "chariot” fall into a ditch or do anything else. You do not know how to handle the reins which is why you let go of them on a downward slope and keep pulling hard while going uphill and so the poor “horses” get exhausted and bleed from their mouths. That is why Lord Krishna told Arjun to sit and let him guide the chariot. Arjun's chariot began to run straight when
