Chapter-18.  Moksha-sannyasa-yogam.

Slokam-70.

=========================================================================

Very important slokam

Read carefully and  understand  well.

=========================================================================

Slokam-70 - With Translation :

"adhyeshyate   ca   ya   imam    dharmyam    samvadamavayoh,

jnanayajnena    tenaham    ishtah   syamiti    me   matih."

"And I declare that he who studies this sacred conversation worships Me by his intelligence." 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Translation :

ca    =   not  only  that;

avayoh   =   between  us  ( ours );

dharmyam   =   about  the  spiritual  tattvam  (  essence )  sacred/ divine;

imam   samvadam   =   this  discussion  / conversation;

yah    adhyeshyate    =  whoever  study;

tena   aham   jnanayajnena   ishtah   syamiti    me   matih   =   he  with  jnana-yajnam  devotes  Me,  this  is  My  calculation.

--------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------

Bhashyam (Vyakyanam) :

The result that manifests to one who studies Srimad Bhagavad-Gita is being revealed by Lord Krishna. 

One who sings this holy and blessed divine discourse which is overflowing with righteousness in the anustap meter or chants its verses to oneself or to others contemplating will be considered by Lord Krishna as jnana yagnena or propitiation and worship directly to Him and is the best of all worship. 

Even if someone is reciting the chapters and slokam-s without fully understanding the meaning; yet hearing it from inside the etheric heart as paramatma the Supreme Soul the Supreme Lord will accept it as pure propitiation and worship of Him. 

Just as in everyday life if someone calls out one's name, one will go to that person and enquire what they want even if hardly known. 

In the same way Lord Krishna approaches that someone who chants or sings the slokam-s of Srimad Bhagavad-Gita. 

This is not mere conjecture. 

It has been proven with evidence with the story of Ajamila who called out to his son Narayana which happens also to be a name of the Supreme Lord at the moment of death and pleasing the servants of the Supreme Lord was saved from a hellish existence. 

So there should be no doubt about this.

Now Lord Krishna declares that whoever studies Srimad Bhagavad-Gita under the tutelage of the spiritual preceptor and learns its purport from him; by this act Lord Krishna accepts it as propitiation to Him if the form of wisdom as He previously affirmed in chapter 4, slokam 28 with the words svadhyaya-jnana-yajnah ca or propitiation by study of the Vedic scriptures. 

So worship of the Supreme Lord is accomplished by study and discussion of the purports, yet His devotee who simply chants or sings only the slokam-s, because they are faithfully eulogising Him they are pleasing Him and are dearmost due to aurally hearing from themselves of His glories. 

Just as a common person may sing a song extolling the virtues of some great personality; such a great personality hearing it will be come most pleased and that common person will become dear to them. 

So in this way Lord Krishna is affirming that just by reciting the verses of Srimad Bhagavad- Gita one will become dear to Him as one will be glorifying Him by doing so.

The Supreme Lord Krishna has resolved and made it eternal by speaking it, that whenever His devotee adhyesyate studies the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita; He will accept it as an offering consider Himself served in jnana-yagnena as direct propitiation and worship unto Him. 

Such propitiation and worship is what is inculcated in this divine discourse where by its transcendental potency a mere reciting of the verses equates to offering direct propitiation and worship unto the Supreme Lord which He affirms He accepts.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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

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
