PHRASES IN THE GITA - 45

एकं सांख्यं च योगं च ..  (अध्याय ५ - श्लोक ५)
ஏகம் ஸாங்க்யம் ச யோகம் ச ... (அத்யாயம் 5 - )
Ekam Saankhyam Cha Yogam Caha .. (Chapter 5 - Shlokam 5)

Meaning :  Saankhya and Yoga are one and the same.

That is a typical Hindu mind speaking ..  This thought has been deeply ingrained in Hindu minds .. This thought finds expression in many walks of social life .  A Tamil shifted to Dehradun or a Marwari settled in Madurai does not feel isolated in environment obviously different .  People, in thousands and lakhs, from Sourashtra Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra have been living comfortably in Tamil Nadu for centuries .  They retain their language, customs and practices .  They have never been forced to change over to local language or customs, even during the period when TN was ruled by the Dravidian parties, regarded as being hostile to outsiders .  This thought has inspired our Kings and our people to whole-heartedly receive Jews and Persians persecuted in their own lands (Israel and Persia or Iran) by converts to Islam and Christianity.  Jews writing about their life in 80 various countries for almost two thousand years as refugees, recall that the only country where they did not face a single instance of coercion or brutality or suppression, the only country where the Jews could live with Honour, Religion, Language and personal practices was Bharat, the Hindu Nation .  Parsis, as the Persian refugees are known today repaid the respect, honour and love showered on them by the Hindu people and the Hindu Kings.. by refusing separate Constituencies and special Minority rights.  They proudly declared their resolve to 'Live with the Hindus'.. This attitude also has inspired Hindus to live in perfect harmony in any country they migrate to, regarding the new country as 'Sacred Bhoomi Matha', the local river as the Ganga .  'All is One';  'Only the exterior is different, the essence is One';  The basis of Hindu thought is defined by the word 'Also'...  This is also a Way .  That is also a Form of God .  This is also a Book of God .  That is why, the Hindu thought is Inclusive .  It assimilates .  It unites .  It causes Fusion .  On the other hand, the basis of Semitic Religions is the word 'Only'..  This is the only Way .  He is the only Prophet .  This is the only Truth .  This is the only sacred Book   That is why these Religions have been cause of Arguments, Division, Strife, wars, and blood shed .

Chapter X (19 - 42)

\ श्री भगवानुवाच - हन्त ते कथष्यामि दिव्या ह्यात्मविभूतय : । प्राधान्यत : कुरुश्रेष्ठ नास्त्यन्तो विस्तरस्य मे ॥ १९ ॥ Shri Bhagawan said:   I shall speak to Thee now, Oh best of the Kurus! of My Divine attributes, according to their prominence;   there is no end to the particulars of My manifestation. (X - 19) Arjuna asks for a detailed and complete elaboration on His manifestations.   Shri Krishna replies He will be brief in description.   Why?   ‘My manifestations are infinite’, says Shri Krishna.   Shri Krishna is in human form.   The Infinite Paramaatman has bound Himself in a finite Form.   A finite can not fully describe an Infinite.   The same Shri Krishna in the next chapter says, “See My Infinite Forms.   See as much as you wish”, when Arjuna expresses his desire to see His one Form.   Brief in words and Elaborate in Form.;. The discussion in the last shlokam continues here.   The listener’s ahankara tries to fathom the speaker.   The listener, Arj

Chapter IV (1 - 20)

\   ADHYAAY IV   GYANA KARMA SANYASA YOGAM Introduction This chapter named ‘Gnyana Karma Sanyasa Yog’ is a special one, as this is where Shri Krishna reveals the secrets of Avatara to Arjuna. We, as human have a natural weakness.  When a great thought is placed before us, instead of analysing the thought, understanding it and trying to put it into practise, almost all of us start worshipping the person who revealed the thought.  Worship of the Cross and the idols of Buddha can be quoted as examples.  One of the reasons for this may be that we deem him to be the originator of the thought.  Truths are eternal and can only be revealed and not invented.  You ask any educated person about ahimsa or non-violence.  You should not be surprised if he instantly come up with the answer, “Gandhi”.  You try to clarify that ‘almost two thousand years ago Shri Mahaveer based his life and religion solely on the principle of Ahimsa’ and ‘hundreds of years prior to that the Vedas, the Gi
