Bhagavad Gita

Bhagavad Gita is a seven hundred Verse Hindu scripture written as a part Of the great Epic Mahabharata By sage Veda Vyasa by 500 BCE. It is written in Sanskrit language. you are not the body but the spiritual Self. The body is made up of five elements _ The senses, subtle senses, mind, ego And the intelligence. It is the seat Of desires, attachments, feelings, and emotions. The body is Prakrit, the one with nine gates. The knower is Purusha who keeps it alive. All actions take place in the Prakriti from Gunas (modes) While the Purusha is the witness, non-doer. Ignorance and delusions bind it to the world. Mind is the seat of desires, feelings And thoughts, and is led by the sense objects. Attractions and aversions are the products. Ego controls mind and enslaves the self. Mind is an impediment to liberation. Do your duty with detachment; renounce The doer-ship; know the actions that bind you And the actions that free you; know the difference between action, inaction, inaction In action and action in inaction. It teaches the mas to uphold Dharma And undertake duties upon the earth. Action is superior to inaction And of actions selfless actions are the best Because they do not produce karma. Renunciation is renunciation Of doer-ship and not giving up the world. Renunciation is renunciation Of the desire for the fruit of action. Then you are free of karma and bondage. A sanyasi has no attachment To the sense object and to his action By conquering his body and mind. A clod of earth and a piece of gold Or foes and friends are one and the same. God is in you and in everything. God and self are the same reality. The whole universe is permeated by Him. God is manifested and unmanifested. Creator, preserver and protector is He. Surrender to God with utmost devotion. All yogas culminate in devotion. Devotion is the selfless love expressed. Contemplate on supreme consciousness. Take refuge in Him to get liberated. The gunas, three, (modes) influence the movements, Directions and orientation of all Living and non-living things in the world. They influence the behaviour of things. The gunas are three - Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. Sattva is for happiness and knowledge. Raja is for passion and Tamas is Of ignorance and indolence Gunas bind the soul to the illusion And the chain of births and deaths of beings. Bhagavat Gita is the teaching Of Lord Krishna to prince Arjuna About the duty and one's commitment In the battlefield when he dropped his bow As were his opponents his kith and kin. Bhagavad Gita is the essence Of the Hindu philosophy, which tells To practise and achieve Dharma, Artha(wealth) Kama and Moksha (liberation) in one's life cycle. To escape the cycle of birth is vision. 06.03,2023
