Srimad Bhagavad Gita : Chapter-18. Slokam-14.
"Adhishtanam tatha kartha karanam cha prithag-vidham
vividhash cha prithak cheshta daivam chaivatra panchamam."
#Karanam ca prithag-vidham :
The various instruments of action are also to be correct. Suppose a scientist in a laboratory is using a very powerful microscope in order to study atoms, electrons, and so on, and goes on peeping into the microscope very carefully throughout the day.
But if the microscope is not properly made, and he himself has cataracts in his eyes, what will he see through the microscope?
He will come to a very wrong scientific conclusion, and will proclaim this wrong conclusion to the newspapers. Blunderous results will follow. His eyes must be healthy, and his instruments should be properly fitted. Karana is the instrument. It should be healthy and properly made.
#Vividhash cha prithak cheshta :
The motive behind the action also comes.
Why are we doing this action?
The motive is the moral force, meaning or significance that is behind an action, and it colours the action to a large extent, if not entirely.
#Daivam chaivatra panchamam :
There is a very, very important fifth factor. As Shakespeare has put it, there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how you will. Whatever be our effort, whatever be our sweating, there is something else that decides the fate of our action. Whatever be the argument of an advocate in a court, the deciding factor is the judge. The judge will hear the arguments from both sides and finally, he is the deciding factor.
Now, we will have a doubt in our mind : “Will God decide against my motive?
Then it is very pitiable. Suppose I do something and God simply disposes of the entire motive of my action; what is the good of my doing anything? This is a sorrowful state of affairs.”
#Samatvam yoga ucyate:
Again the same principle of action, harmony, is here called yoga. Harmony is the will of God. This is an essential factor in any kind of successful action. God will not act against us if our will is united with the divine will. The law will not punish us if our action is in consonance with the law.
Why should the law punish us?
It is because we go against it. We curse the law. “Oh, stupid thing, the law is harassing me.”
Why does it harass us?
Because we do not know what it means and we do not want to follow its mandates.
We have a law of our own, contrary to the prevailing law, so why should it not trouble us? Whose mistake is it?
Therefore divine will, God’s dispensation, is not against man’s motivation of action, and God’s will is the ultimate fruit-yielding factor in all activities of the individual. We sow the seed, manure the sapling, take care of the plant and see that the tree grows, but the fruit comes out of the tree due to the will of a universal power, with which our will has to be united.

7. THE FUNNIEST PART OF THIS STORY THAT WHEN AP NAGARAJAN PRODUCED SAMPURNA RAMAYANAM WITH THEN SUPER STARS TAMIL PEOPLE MADE A HEAVY RUSH TO THEATRES? WHY THIS ATTITUDE? CINEMA IS DIVINE NOT RAMAYANAM IS IT SO?
8. PARENTS AND CHILDREN ARE DECISION MAKERS AND FREEDOM CHOOSE THE SPIRITUAL SUBJECTS IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS;
9. IF THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED THIS, IT IS A FACT THAT THE PEOPLE OF BHARATHAM REQUESTED PM MODIJI THROUGH MAN KI BAAT AND OTHER CHANNELS BY WAY PEOPLE CONTACTS WITH PM AND TEAM INDIA.

BRAHMASUTRAS AND 3. THE SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA."
========================================================================
FINAL WORDS : WHAT THE GREAT ACHARYA SAID :
#The interesting phenomenon of the delivery of the Bhagavadgita is that the most sacred thing that it is – a holy teaching connected with God and creation, something which you would like to hear in a sanctified spot such as a #temple or an #ashram, a #university or an #academy, a #school or a #college – is given in the worst of human conditions, #called battle.
