Re: yoga and yogis always attracted my attention, I love yoga for me.
Tzippy, this is an interesting query, where the meaning seems an aberration. I think I will give a full-fledged write on this, so that the meaning is clear. Thank you so much for asking.

other I can understand someone not being clear within.....sometimes one may have moments of clarity of total ego free.....they are precious but even the most holy must sometimes have to redirect their center.

yoga and yogies always attracted my attention, I love yoga for me.

If i could put all my belongings into one suitcase, like i used to when i was younger and just flutter around the world landing here and there and spreading some joy, I would be content with all i got.

this is a beautiful teaching and I am so grateful that you bring it to us so clearly, I have a book called "Bhagavad-Gita as it is", but I dont understand it, for example this is what it says Text 13: The devotees of the Lord are released from all kinds of sins because they eat food which is offered first for sacrifice. Others, who prepare food for personal sense enjoyment, verify eat only sin." 

 I just dont understand what they are trying to say, here Are they saying that every time I eat I sin?

Re: NowI am dizzy....LOL i WOULDLOVE YOUR SIMPLIFICATION OF THIS FOR ME.
Sannyasis, in the olden times in India, were the revered ones who would renounce the world and go to a place of solitude, especially in the jungles, in order to avoid the disturbances of the day-to-day life, and would meditate deeply, there. Rarely would they come to townships to  householders for food or other requirements. But in the meanwhile a lot of sham sannyasis taking advantage, made it a profession to fill their bellies without any labor. Krishna is here saying that there is no need to renounce, 'you can be a householder. do all your duties as a karma yogi, and yet be a sannyasi'. The renunciarion has to be from within and not from without. The only thing to be renounced is all the negativity we generally nurse with great care. This is a tremendous assertion for a householder that while performing one's  duty with devotion, he/she can still be a renunciate. Thank you so very much for asking this, I so love queries because they clarify my understanding too.
