PHRASES IN THE GITA - 97


परम्भावं अजानन्तो अवजानन्ति मां मूढा  ...  (अध्याय ९ - श्लोक ११)
பரம் பாவம் அஜானந்தோ அவஜாநந்தி மாம் மூடா  ...  (அத்யாயம் 9 - ஶ்லோகம் 11)
ParamBhaavam Ajaananto avajaananti Maam Moodhaa  ...  (Chapter 9 - Shlokam 11)

Meaning :  The Ignorant insults Me by not knowing Me as the Ultimate ...

They are ignorant ..  Those who do not know Me are ignorant ...  Those who do not know Me as The Ultimate are ignorant ...  Those who do not know Me as The Divine in Human body are ignorant ...  Those who can not see The Formless Paramaatman in the Form (Human Body) are ignorant .  The ones who can not see Life beneath the Inert , Paramaatman beneath Prakruti are ignorant .

We assume a body and arrive on this earth only to fulfill our Vasanas of previous births ... Vasanas are essence of various desires we cherished .  Vasanas travel with the Jeeva after death .  Jeeva looks for a body and a family environment suitable to fulfill these Vasanas .  We experience pains and pleasures in our lives as dictated by our own Vasanas .  In our births , we are bound by Prakruti .  We do not exercise any control over Prakruti .

The Divine , the Avatara arrive on the earth , take a body at their free will , out of compassion for humankind .  They lead a life with total control over Prakruti .  They are not bound by the rules of Prakruti .  Shree Krishna says , "the ignorant does not realize this .  He does not see the Divine beneath the human form .  He just see the Divine Avatar as an ordinary soul in a human body , just like any other human .

We all fall in Shri Krishna's category of 'Ignorant' as we refuse to see the Divine in persons around us and merely see them as 'My mother' , 'My son' , 'My worker' and so on .  This ignorance as per Shri Krishna .

Shri Krishna says , "I am insulted by these ignorant men .."  Does it pain the Lord to be insulted ?  No .  He has taken a human form out of compassion for human kind .  He is pained at the ignorance , because it deprives them of an opportunity for emancipation and progress towards Divine .  How ?

"He is also a human like me , with all the defects , with all the shortcomings , with all the errors , with cravings for pleasures ... all like me" ...  This thought will naturally drive him to justify his own blemishes and stop him from efforts to progress on the path towards the Divine .

Otherwise , he is trapped by the dupes posing as Divine , who impress these gullible with dramatic and huge mob following , 'stage-managed' miraculous acts , well designed make-ups and well rehearsed dialogues .  These ignorant gullibles start chasing these 'forged Divinity' and start worshipping their images , palms and feet .  In this way , they are deprived of their right to 'Real Emancipation' .  Hence , Shri Krishna is annoyed and feels insulted .

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
