Gita : Ch-6. Slo-27.

-





Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :


Chapter-6. ( Dhyana-yogam )


Slokam-27. (  The  benefit   gained   by   fixing   the   mind   in   Atmasvarupam  ( Supreme   Consciousness )  is expressed   by   Lord  Krishna   here...)




prasantamanasam    hyenam    yoginam      sukhamuttamam,


upaiti     santarajasam     brahma-bhutamakalmasham.




santa-rajasam   =   the  polluting    garbages,   the   rajo-guna    totally    removed  (pacified    passion);

prasanta-manasam   =   and    thereafter    made    the   mind    bright, clear, and  pure   (   fixed   the   mind   upon    Supreme   Lord );

akalmasham   =   further    all    vasanas    completely   exhausted   (   freed   from    all   past    sinful    actions );

brahma-bhutam   =   liberated,   by   the   identification    with   the    Absolute/Lord;

enam    yoginam   =   this    yogi;

uttamam     sukham     upaiti   =   attains    the    highest    happiness.  



Lord Krishna states brahma-bhutam which means endowed with the realisation of the Brahman or spiritual substratum pervading all existence.

To the person who again and again brings their mind under control by the process of withdrawal from all external designations the bliss of yoga or the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness manifests as soon as all remnants of rajas of passion have been eliminated. So Lord Krishna is declaring that for this superior yoga for whom rajas is no longer an influence and whose mind is completely tranquil and content. To this peerless yogi who has achieved atma tattva or realisation of the soul, it is without a doubt that the supreme bliss comes of its own accord and the ultimate consciousness is attained.

After the yogi or one perfecting the science of the individual consciousness with the ultimate consciousness has withdrawn the mind from sense objects and secured it in the atma; then the mind becoming utterly serene achieves the supreme bliss that is sublime as a matter of course. Lord Krishna speaks of two alternatives: one is santa-rajasam or free from passion and the second is akalmasam or free from the blemishes of desire in other words sinless. Such a person is brahma-bhutam or endowed with the realisation of the Brahman or the spiritual substratum pervading all existence.

A peaceful mind means a mind immovably situated in constant mediation on the atma or soul. Once this is accomplished it is quite natural that the yogi or one perfecting the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness by dhyana or meditation soon has all blemishes and sins completely purged. The words santa-rajasam means the quality of rajas or passion has become santa or peaceful. Hence one becomes imbued with the qualities of the Brahmam or spiritual substratum pervading all existence and which also refers to the atma and re- establishs one into their true essence of spiritual splendour. To such a yogi comes atma tattva or realisation of the soul and exquisite and phenomenal transcendental felicity. The word used by Lord Krishna hi meaning verily, is an indeclinable particle which gives a reason denoting that by the reason of atma tattva being essentially blissful the yogi becomes blissful as well.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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...
