Srimad Bhagavad-Gita
Chapter-15. Purushothama-yogam
Slokam -6.
-------------------------------------------------
Slokam-6.
"Na tat bhasayate suryo na sasanko na pavakah,
yat gatva na nivartante taddhama paramam mama."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Translation :
Tat suryah na bhasayate sasankah na, pavakah na = sun or moon or fire do not illuminate that;
yat gatva = when attained that;
na nivartante = then there will be no return;
tat mama paramam dhama = that is dsaid to be "My PARAMA-PADHAM."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tatvam ( Essence : of slokam-6.
"That abode of Mine is not illumined by the sun or moon, nor by fire. One who reaches it never returns to this material world."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Discourse :
The light of illumination which manifests from the atma or immortal soul is what Lord Krishna is referring to here as well.
As His transcendental spiritual body consists of the atmas of all jivas or embodied beings, He, His name, His abode and His pastimes are all illuminating.
No sun or moon or fire can illuminate this; for it is spiritual wisdom that gives the light of consciousness.
External luminosity is only able to dissolve the obscurity that intervenes between the senses perceiving their objects.What reveals the atma is called yoga or the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousness. Antagonistic to yoga is karma which are subsequent reactions to previous actions and to conquer this formidable opponent which gains strength from every action performed; one must fully surrender unto the Supreme Lord and accept Him as one's only refuge.
That all illuminating light emanates from Him, it is a part of His splendor as a power from Him.
The sublime supremacy of this all illuminating light consists of its potency and efficiency in lighting the consciousness by spiritual wisdom.
Sunlight no matter how bright, although capable of travelling for millions and billions of miles through space is never able to internally effect illumination in the consciousness as it is only an external phenomena.
To be continued ...
