PHRASES IN THE GITA - 177


अध्यात्मज्ञाननित्यत्त्वम् ...  (अध्याय १३ - श्लोक ११)
அத்யாத்ம க்ஞான நித்யத்வம் ..  (அத்யாயம் 13 - ஶ்லோகம் 11)
Adhyaatma Gyaana Nityattvam ..  (Chapter 13 - Shlokam 11)

Meaning :  To remain continuously engrossed in Adhyaatma thoughts ..

How do we involve in worldly thoughts if we always remain in Adhyatmik thoughts ??  Are worldly actions possible without worldly thoughts ??  Are worldly actions possible even while being engrossed in Adhyaatmik thoughts ??

Shri Narada thus explains 'Devotion' in Narada Bhakti Sootra ..  "Bhakti is not listening to Spiritual discourses ..  Bhakti is not visiting Temples ..  Bhakti is living a life like the Gopikas of Brindavan ..  They too involved in normal activities like anyone of us ..  The visible exterior had no difference ..  But , they performed all their actions for Him ,, for Shri Krishna , the adorable child ..

To do works for 'self' , to do with a feeling of 'I' am doing this' is Samsaari or worldly ..  These same works , if done for Him , is Adhyaatmik ..  Samsaari or Loukeeka exhausts and tires ..  Adhyaatm induces Joy ..

If one can perform his worldly actions while being engrossed in Adhyaatmik thoughts , every action of his becomes Spiritual Sadhana ..  He does not need special adhyaatmik pursuits ..  And if he adopts any spiritual practice , his mind casually and easily gets engrossed in it ..  His pursuits are not disturbed by worldly thoughts ..  On the other hand , if one engrossed in worldly thoughts while performing worldly actions , tries to practice any Spiritual Sadhana , these very worldly thoughts disturb and derail his pursuit ..

Most of us postpone Adhyaatmik thoughts and Spiritual practices to the later part of life , after finishing all worldly works and after retirement from worldly life .. only because it is difficult to keep away worldly thoughts ..  They may have retired from worldly activities but never get rid of worldly thoughts ..  right up to the last moment , right up to the last breath ..  They live life bound by by worldly thoughts ..

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
