Krishna spoke to uddhava

 

Uddhava gita 

earth —-do not deviate  from the path and keep steady, however much harassed by fellow living beings  who simply follow what is arranged by fate. (

mountain —- learn to  be always there for others, 

devote all actions to the welfare of others.  

tree, ——-to be dedicated to others should be the sole reason for existence

A

Vital air——be happy with the mere movement of vital air and not seek  satisfaction in sense gratification. spiritual knowing will thus not be lost and mind and speech will not be distracted. 

 Wind—-never get entangled in relating to the objects of the senses and all their different favorable and unfavorable qualities. 

Earth—- Even while entering different bodies made of earth [elements] in this world and endowed with their different  qualities, do not connect with these qualities, just like  the wind does not with different odors. 

Ether——-meditate on the soul stretched out in all moving and nonmoving  living beings

thereby, even with different embodiments consider self a  pure spirit, equal to the ether that expands everywhere Just as the realm of the ether is not touched  by the winds that blow the clouds,  [in your real self] be not affected by the physical bodies consisting of fire, water and earth, that are moved by the basic qualities of na ture created by Time.
