Srimad Bhagavad - Gita

========================================================================= Sunday, January 01, 2023. 07:30. The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita Chapter 30: Communion with Eternity-5. ========================================================================= After a temporary bathing in this nectar of experience, it is possible for the mind to cool down in its ecstasy because it cannot be said that one can be always in this state throughout the day and the night. The condition of yoga comes and goes. These ecstasies are not perennial and permanent accompaniments of our life. There are moments of sudden exaltation into the spirit of experience, as mentioned here, but sometimes it becomes an intolerable experience for the mind, as in epic language we are told that it was not tolerated even by Arjuna himself when it became possible for him to have that blissful cosmic experience. But the mind has to be brought back once again to that source which it experienced, but from which it may ...

 ========================================================================= ========================================================================= Thursday, December 29,  2022. 06:00. Chapter 3: The Spirit of True Renunciation - 1. ========================================================================= After the brief introduction to the important features which are predominant in the whole of the Bhagavadgita, we have to enter into the main theme of the exposition. The setting of the occasion of the Gita, the context of the delivery of the gospel, is the human situation, which I tried to liken to the atmosphere of a battlefield, an air of war, conflict and confrontation, to be expected at every step, every moment of time, and under every circumstance. The structure of the universe appears to be such that it faces us as a complex of various layers of conflict which we are supposed to overcome, and which are known as achievements in life. A particular context or situation h...

 ========================================================================= ========================================================================= Wednesday, December 28, 2022. 07:30. The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita Chapter 30: Communion with Eternity-4. ======================================================================== The mind, in this state of stability on the Atman, does not find itself placed in any particular locality. The Atman is not a locality. It is not something. Nor should it be imagined that the returning of the mind to the Atman is a kind of subsidence of our thoughts in a particular luminous spot in our body. The Atman is not inside the body, it is inside all things. The returning of the mind to the Atman, or the Self, is the returning of all objectivity into universality, externality into the supreme transcendence. It is not something moving to something else. It is not like a drop which is the mind going to another flame that is the Atman. Neithe...

 ========================================================================= ========================================================================= Sunday, December 25,  2022. 06:00. Chapter 2: The Battlefield of Life - 6. ========================================================================= The Bhagavadgita places us in the context of human society at the very outset, the situation in which we are today. We are nationals of a country, and we are human beings with a relationship obtaining in mankind as a whole. We always think in terms of human relationship. It is well known that we argue in this manner. This is the subject of the First Chapter of the Bhagavadgita, where the whole social structure is taken as the stand for the argument in connection with any action to be taken under a particular situation. Taking Arjuna as the symbol of mankind, the epic of the Mahabharata in its gospel of the Bhagavadgita tells us how we think as individuals. We are faced with a warring ...

 ========================================================================= ========================================================================= Saturday, December 24, 2022. 07:30. The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita Chapter 30: Communion with Eternity-3. ========================================================================= When the mind that is controlled returns to the Atman, it enjoys a bliss which is unthinkable – unthinkable because it is not an object of the senses. It also cannot be cognised by the mind. This bliss of the Atman, this experience in yoga which is a merger into the universal bosom of all things, cannot be thought by the mind because it is not outside the mind. It is prior to the very origin of all thinking process. It cannot be seen with the eyes, it cannot be touched by the hand, and it cannot be sensed by any means we have because this bliss is non-spatial, non-temporal. It is not in the world of spatial distance and temporal succession. Theref...
