What initiates the initial disturbance in the equilibrium in the Prakriti (i.e. a disturbance in the gunas)? The logical answer should be Brahman? Then once the balance is guna is disturbed, enery/prakriti starts manifesting and starts creation which the help of Brahman, so does it mean that Brahman, acting through guna's/Shakthi places an individual in a set of circumstance and makes him to react to it? If his/her actions are without ego thinking that I'm just placed in this situation by the Guna's and disconnect himself from disturbance then he first goes back to the equilibrium position (equilibrium of guna's) due to this mind gets inactive, then Self is realized? Finally we can say that the thought of I'm the doer creates further disturbance in the Guna?

So basically This chapter speaks of desires which should taken out by detachment, ego by surrender (love the person you hate etc) and do the activity for the sake of doing it. But Krishna also says that why are bothered about killing your relatives as I have already killed them, meaning everything that we do here is predestined, also goes with the saying that what is meant to happen will happen, so isn't the thought of surrender and wanting of infinite is a natural tendency God's actions? Nothing that we think we are doing is in fact we are led in doing it?

Yes, there are variations from texts to texts regarding chandas. There is nothing wrong in what you have done. Don't worry.

It depends upon your place of residence. Usually, there are many who can initiate this mantra. If you are not able to find one, please write to me at ravi@manblunder.com

Soul is Pure. It is Sat-cit-ananda. Individual soul is also Pure, but it is veiled by maya. When maya is removed, you realize the Self within.

What is the different between soul and Soul, does it mean that soul is the casual body and Soul is the underlying Brahman in casual body?
