Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :


Chapter-5. ( Karma-sanyasa-yogam )


Introduction-6.



However,  We  must  give  credit  to  the  strong,  deep,  tattvam  of  Gita.

A flower  should  change  into  unripe  fruit,  that  is  the  flowers' desire  /  fate / saphalyam.

In  this  prikrya  ( activity )  there  is  destruction  to  its  previous  state, i.e,  flower fades  and  drops.

We  see  an  unripe  fruit  in  place  of  flower  now.

Because  of  this  no  one  laments  about  the  destruction  and  loss  of  flower.

Flower  discarded  its  unnecessary  parts,  and  its  essence  in  the  form  of  unripe  fruit.

That  is  all.

Considering  the  above  we  can  say  that  if  Vedik  literature is  flower,  then  Gita  sastram  is  its  fruit

The  activities  or  rituals  put  forth  in  the  karma-kandam  of  Veda-s,  the  unnecessary  rituals  are  discarded,  and  the  essence  of  Veda-s,  that  is  a  complete  jivitha-sastrm ( life-science )  took  shape  in  a  text  namely,  Srimad  Bhagavad-Gita.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, March 21, 2021. 07:57. AM. Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being. The first six chapters may be said to be engaged in an exposition of self-discipline from the individual point of view, the integration of the human personality and the preparation of the whole man for the greater task which is yet to come – namely, the at-one-ment of the individual with the set-up of the universe. Some of the interpreters and commentators on the Bhagavadgita hold that the first six chapters have a relevance to the significance of the term 'twam' in the famous Upanishadic p...

================================================================================= Saturday 01, June 2024 06:40. Chapter 7: The Entry of the Absolute into the Relative -3. Post-33. ================================================================================= There are endless connections of this type. The relationship of adhyatma and adhibhuta is involved in an infinite variety of degrees of ascent and descent. This imperative of the presence of a consciousness between adhyatma and adhibhuta in various degrees is the reason why you sometimes feel there are many gods. Sometimes the question arises: Are there many gods, or only one God? There is only one God, the Absolute, but inasmuch as it manifests itself as an interconnecting link between subject and object through millions of degrees of ascent and descent, it looks as there are millions of gods. It is as if there are millions of governments merely because there are millions of officials in a centrality of administration. There is...
