The Bhagavad Gita ( भगवद गीता )

0:01 Historians believe that just like Eliot, Mahabharat should also be based on real events that almost ended in a war Around 1000 B.C. Meaning of Indian History being written at the very beginning This happened some time ago in Dwarka Nagar It has also been proved through excavations that The Mahabharata seems to say that after Krishna's departure Later the city was submerged. Some 500 years earlier than is generally believed that the Aryans who lived in the Caspian Sea and the Hindus Some came from through the mountains and came to India.

0:47 These people were the basis of Sanskrit language and many other faith and culture which the Hindus brought to India It became part of the tradition. The oldest Hindu text is the Rigveda The older part is from this period. About 1500 BC or maybe even earlier. But I believe that the real essence of Indian religion The source is even older. When the Aryans were Hindus came to India from the Kush mountains and along the Indus river A civilization was found on the shore which has been archaeologically Scientists say it is around 3000 BC. Almost identical to the builders of the Nile pyramids

1:33 The people here were also progressing to the same extent. They had blacksmiths who could make brass and copper they would make sheets of it, join them together and They used to do the casting. They had arts and industries which were The way he used to work. land and sea trade from as far away as Mesopotamia and their cities were well planned Were made together. water and sanitation facilities Which was not seen again until the arrival of the Romans. It seems that these people also use the decimal system used to use it. Decimal System

2:19 The most important thing is that you can find pictures of Shiva here. Are. In the form of Yogeshwara who tells that Meditation also used to take place here and all this was according to the Vedas. It was 1000 years before his arrival. If this is true, it means that the Indus People of the valley like systems in technology They used to bring the same brain in studies as well Used to apply. This was Brahma Vidya, meaning the greatest Knowledge. Brahma Vidya is the inner truth I wanted to know something that could explain everything. Wherever it started from. The first thousand years We come across the Brahma Vidya around B.C. Both the method and the discovery are clear.

3:08 [music] Ancient with this art of looking inside oneself Indian Rishis mean their own experiences of seeing used to investigate. would see if it There is something that does not change. His words can be stated in three lineages which are Aldous Hughesly called Perennial Philosophy Because it is found in every era and civilization Are. First Beneath the changing world lies an infinite and changing No, this is the truth. Second This same truth is present inside every human being. third

3:53 The real purpose of life is to experience this truth To understand from. Meaning, in this very life, God to get. these things and the ways to attain them Taught in forest Gurukuls or Ashrams and this tradition is going on for about 3000 years It has been happening. To remember the discovery of Brahma Vidya and later the Upanishads were created to be written which is first and foremost the true Perennial Philosophy There are documents. Who knows how many Upanishads existed earlier? Were. In tradition these are called Shruti. Meaning Not what you heard or read.

4:40 This is correct in itself. It is believed that Only the Vedas and their Upanishads are also Shrutis. Because in these God has been known directly. According to this, all other Hindu scriptures are like Geeta is second. His authority is from the Vedas It is available. But this is just a ritual. One customs which are perhaps the real theme of these texts He hides it. If truth be told, then Geeta is also a Shruti because it This is also a thing arising from experience. Others Not from the texts. Shankaracharya who was a great saint of the ninth century. whose words are like those of August Eka and Aquinas It is considered. Maybe he thought the same.

5:30 He discussed the most important aspects of Hinduism Select sources. So leaving aside about 100 Upanishads Chose only 10 Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita. I believe Gita is the original version of Mahabharata Not a part. This is actually a Upanishad and I think that some sage probably gave it to us in the tradition of Vyasa and later corrected in Mahabharata was added in place. Other things are also related in the same way to Mahabharata and was inserted into other texts. this new It was a good way to save money when everyone Some things were happening through the mouth only.

6:18 This is also emphasized in the tradition Because the older the record the better There is a single line at the end of every chapter of Gita It is found written. Yoga in Bhagavad Gita Upanishad This is the chapter of the greatest knowledge of. Further evidence is that except for the first chapter Geeta does not take the story of Mahabharata forward Rather, it works differently. The war lines have been drawn. years the end of the fighting and the start of the war At first Arjun's courage breaks down and he He asks his charioteer Krishna, what now? Do it? what happens then? Krishna who is not an ordinary charioteer

7:05 It is rather a form of God. Around 700 In the verse, soul, God, relationship with God, Levels of consciousness and reality What is the world made of? He gives knowledge to everyone. At last he reveals his true form to Arjuna Let me show you. in which he is divided between life and death become the owner. He teaches Arjun to be kind to everyone do it. Himself in everything against both enemy and friend Look at. Consider the suffering of others as your own suffering. Then the Geeta ends. Story retold and the war begins Is. a fierce and dangerous fight

7:53 in which everybody's dignity is at stake and In the end, Arjun's side wins. But almost all fighters on both sides died. They would have been done. Those who also understand the setting of the Gita as well as its teachings and begin to think that That the Gita justifies war. Gandhiji gave a simple answer. just your Live your life according to the Gita with a true heart. See Do you want to kill or hurt anyone? seem right? He would say the same for the Sermon on the Mount. Are. The real message of the Gita is that in every living being

8:38 Look at God and behave like him And Geeta says this again and again. I am always with him who is the greatest among all living beings Look at me. Seeing everyone as me He is never separated from me. He worships me in his heart and his Every work is done by me only. wherever he is He remains residing within me. When a person cares about the happiness and sadness of others He starts considering himself as his own, then he considers him the greatest I have attained yoga. I love only he who hates no one

9:25 I do not keep it. He is everyone's friend. has mercy on everyone Is. Only he sees rightly that which is the same in all living beings Let us look at God. the heart of every dying man I see the immortal form. the same everywhere He does not trouble himself by seeing God You deliver it to others, right? Such people are achieve the biggest goals. There is no other way to understand the Gita Is. If I could explain one thing it would be this remember that all this is within us Used to be. And Krishna is not some outsider or It is not God, but the light that every man

10:13 Is hidden inside the . This is not a story. This only Krishna tells this to Arjuna again and again Arjun I am in the heart of every living being. his life I am the beginning, the middle and the end. The Gita assumes that those who listen to it People know the basic ideas of Hinduism Which are found in almost all the Upanishads. Some special words of Yoga are also mentioned in the Gita It has been used. All this in today's language will have to be explained so that today's man can understand the meaning of Gita understand the real and true message forever

10:59 And don't get entangled in strange words. But if the listener is not a Hindu then Another difficulty comes before him. God Different names of . Since long time, Hinduism believes in one God He agrees but asks him by many names. For many people God is also a mother. There is a line in the Rig Veda that there is only one truth. People call him by different names I call you. Those who are sanyaasis, they should find that renunciation in Shiva It shows what he wants. Those who do devotion while living in the world They find their ideal in Krishna

11:46 Is. In each case the Infinite God is represented as a human form To give the love of the devotee in one place It helps and gives an ideal. But whatever form is worshipped, it is all the same God Is in the form of. In Gita and every story or scripture of Hindu Gods are also found in it. means many gods This god or devas who came with the Aryan people and were also found in other Aryan civilizations Are. Indra the god of war and Varuna the god of lightning God of water and fire that rules the god between heaven and earth

12:32 there are links and many more In the Gita the gods are worshipped by those people which links nature and supernatural powers Want to keep you happy. like ancestor worship It used to happen. If we look at it in today's language then it is nature's This is the human form of powers. Now when this thing So now that it is clear, we see that the Gita What is the Upanishadic background behind? Soul means Atman and Brahma or Brahma. Upanishads are not the philosophy of a system. it Mostly like pictures of experience.

13:18 Tejas of direct experience of different Gods Full of strength. If it seems that some things are related to each other is different from that because this sage Everyone saw God in their own way. Like photographing the same thing from different angles Let's pull it. Sometimes we think God is very far away, sometimes We accept it as within us. this difference It is not important. All Upanishads are in their own One thing is that Brahma i.e. God True form. the soul inside every man God. The religion that connects the whole world. Karma means you will get what you do. World

14:07 That means the cycle of birth and death. Salvation which is the most The bigger goal is freedom of the soul. When in ancient India there was a great deal of research on science and mathematics New discoveries were being made. Then the sages of the Upanishads Go inside yourself and try to understand what's going on in your mind Was doing. going below the senses He discovered that the world was made up of different solids It is not about things. Rather, everything is changing. things are connecting Yes, they are falling apart. taking a new form again Are. But beneath all these changes he saw something Found something that doesn't change. an infinite and unbroken

14:53 Truth. In which different things from all over the world can be found They go away. He called this truth Brahma. Brahma The true form of God that contains everything. For the ancient sages, this was not just a thought Was. This was his own experience. he brain I was exploring. every level of consciousness Were watching. I was going back one step at a time. In deep meditation he observed that when consciousness goes really deep, the whole body and It leaves the mind. Then the feeling of ego It ends. In this condition. When

15:41 The biggest point of meditation comes when The sages saw a center of consciousness which It is beyond time and change. He made it Said soul or atman. means your true form Said. I told the difference between soul and Brahman Is. The God who is within and the God who is everything is beyond. but actually it makes no difference Is. At the end of meditation the sages said only one thing I saw that there is only one truth inside and outside Is. This is called advaita, which means there is not two.

16:28 It is written in Chandogi Upanishad that Tat Tvam As That means you are the same. The soul itself is Brahma. every person's real The form is not separate from God. Maya What is it that makes one truth different from another? Shows in the form. What is it that we It makes everyone feel that we are just bodies. Not your true form. The sages answered this in a story which Even today people narrate it. A man dreams that a lion is attacking him He is attacking.

17:14 His heart starts beating faster. in hand There is a tightness. sweat breaks out on forehead Is. Everything is happening just as if it is happening in real life. He can tell the lion about his dreams. His His face, his smell, his roar, everything For him the lion is real and in a way It is not wrong either. the evidence that he has It is as real as it gets when you are awake Are. Some people even die because of the power of dreams Let's go. Only when we wake up do we understand

17:59 It is the feeling of a dream that seems real but less than the real world. The Upanishads describe three conditions. waking up, dreaming Watching and deep sleep. All three are real. but on top of each one there is another This is the real condition. Above these three the Upanishads say another This is the condition which is called the fourth i.e. Turiya. Going into this state is like going out of a dream I wake up. Man from a down real condition It goes into its original state above. Those who define themselves with the perception of Maya

18:47 separate it out, that one is the information above I wake up. where the unity of life Can see straight away. The methods to achieve this are called yoga. and this This condition is also yoga. This word comes from Yoga Yuj. Means to add. This state is called samadhi and what is achieved That is salvation or nirvana. Both of them mean Going beyond illusion. by time, place and reason Beyond. In this condition we realize that we are the body No, it is a soul. our true nature and god

19:32 is not different from. we to the world Let's see it as a whole, not in pieces. And The whole is considered a form of God. When we stay true to our true nature We realize that the body will die, but we Will not die. This identity can never be broken. in this manner We understand the truth of immortality that every It is a human right. Gita for such a person They say death is just like taking off old clothes Is. Dharma, Karma, Rebirth and Liberation.

20:19 It is said that if you say just two words Understand religion and karma then you should follow Hindu religion that you will understand the real thing. This is a little easier, but both of these It's hard to overstate Keynes. Religion can mean many things. but actually it means the one who handles keeps it. The root of the word is dha meaning to handle, to hold To keep or pick up. Usually religion means from within Take care. the true identity of anything, its Goodness, that's what makes her who she is. One

21:08 The old story explains it best She explains it to me. Hinduism's greatest Ideal: A sage is sitting on the banks of the Ganga. I see a scorpion fell into the water Is. He extends his hand and saves him. But The scorpion bites them. After a while we will see again that the scorpion He is struggling in the water. he extends his hand again Are. The scorpion bites again. one second The man is watching all this. It says Mahatma Why are you doing this again and again? What Don't you see it? This scorpion will bite you again It will bite. Rishi says it looks exactly like a scorpion

21:56 Religion is to kill but man's religion is to save Non-violence is the greatest religion, which means to anyone don't give pain to love all living beings And violence means the breakdown of religion Therefore every action is the result of every thought and Those results also have further consequences. Life is a big trap. Everything connected It has happened. This is the form of karma which is the most important aspect of Hindu thinking. One of the most important and most misunderstood things Is one of. Karma is mentioned so many times in the Gita that I I thought this should be explained in some detail.

22:45 When a person understands the true nature of karma When he comes, Krishna's words become clear. Are. karma in sanskrit means whatever to be done. It is often called a deed or action. Can be done. The rule of karma is simple. Every event There is a reason and there is a result too. of every work Somewhat similar result comes out. then that result There are further consequences and it goes on like this And every work, every action is a result of some previous action There is also a result of . it's just physical work No, it applies to the thinking of the mind as well.

23:32 The sages of the Upanishads observed that the physical and There is no separation in mental activity. Everything is connected. if the right conditions are met Thoughts also turn into action. like seeds Only that tree grows from it which is the nature of that seed Is. The physical part of karma is just life is the upper layer of. The real game of karma To understand, we need to look at the brain. The karma of everything we do It is made in. in our thoughts The seeds of karma are not in the world but in the mind Are sown in. Indian philosophy is like a seed to a thought

24:20 She tells. Very small but big tree Can. Its roots are very deep and Which can spread very far. I have seen myself that a small seed Falling into a crack in the sidewalk, it became a big tree Went and broke the entire sidewalk. It is difficult to remove such a tree. By the way The effect of bad thinking which spreads throughout life It becomes very difficult to remove it as well Is. But it is possible. and the purpose of the Gita I have to show you how to do it. During sleep a person goes through two stages. Dream

25:06 and dreamless sleep. In dreams consciousness leaves the body and senses. It happens only in the mind. but consciousness in dreamless sleep It also goes out of the mind. then stop thinking It happens. Even the feeling of I stops And consciousness rests in its true form. In this condition the man does not remain isolated. There is no personality either. The Upanishads say that in dreamless sleep Even a king is no longer a king. the poor are poorer No. Any old or young man or woman should read it Or the illiterate remains with nothing.

25:55 When consciousness returns to the brain, thinking and the personality returns to the body It comes in. If seen in this way, ego dies every night goes. As soon as we get up in the morning we take out our old We grasp our desires from there. Where Left it at night. Same guy, just a little different Too. Upanishads say that dying has a similar process Let me tell you. consciousness from the body to the senses Then from the senses to the mind and then to the ego It gets absorbed. When the body is left behind, the ego remains It remains. of old desires and deeds In the form of a bundle.

26:41 Just like dreams are made from our last thoughts Similarly, whatever we are thinking at the time of death Whatever we wanted, we lived it all together Decides that the context of the next birth The sages said what will happen? We are born again. born back there where our wishes and deeds are fulfilled It is possible. The person who has realized his true nature He has no remaining deeds. Someone of their own There is no desire left. At the time of death he is straight One merges into God. For whom I am the biggest target who every

27:29 You work for me and love me completely Let us recall from. I give them the power of birth and death I will get you out of the mess quickly. Because His attention is completely focused on me. To explain his discovery, he used the Upanishads The sages created a special dictionary. Later mystics and philosophers like Kapila, Shankara and others have further extended these words to Cleaned it. These people are big thinkers from the West like August And is considered equal to Eknas. all of these The most useful vocabulary of words

28:15 It comes from Sankhya which is a system of philosophy whose practical form is meditation School yoga. Kapil is the real source of both Sankhya and Yoga is considered to be And in both, there is Buddhist philosophy like You also get ideas. There is an old saying that there is no theory like Sankhya and Yoga There is no practice as such. Gita belongs to Sankhya school or any one school Not there. It explains everything like the Upanishads. Is. But Sankhya explains the working of the mind Gives the exact right words. and the Gita too

29:01 Uses words. Sankhya philosophy describes two different categories. Purusha means soul and prakriti which is everything else Is. This is not the West's mind matter thinking. Nature is everything that can be seen from outside. Is. The field of phenomena is everything that There is a name and a form. just matter and energy No, not even the brain. As physics describes a unified field From where all things have come. Number one It describes a field in which the mind also comes into play Is. Mind, energy and matter all belong to one field

29:49 There are parts. Nature And purusha means soul. a totally different level This is reality. is it only male consciousness or Man is consciousness. Which we call mind. He's just an inside tool. the men who use He does. As if the body is an external tool. According to the Gita, man is also considered as a soul Can be done. Man is the real form which can change It is beyond and is the same in every living being. The identity of Sankhya is a list. of the numerals It means counting numbers or listing.

30:38 There are total 26 elements i.e. principals. from which Nature appears in its true form and different forms of mind matter energy comes into being what makes up our world. These principles are written in the Gita. This field Arjun is made of these things. Five Things that can be felt through the senses. Five the elements, the five sense organs and the five Action organs. And the three parts of the brain are mind, intellect and Ego and that basic energy i.e. nature From which all this has come out.

31:23 I need correct answers for these 24 things in English I can't find the words. Mana is almost equal to mind Is. Like we usually say. Intelligence Thinking has the power to understand. Ego means Maker. The feeling of belonging. I have translated this word a little rough I have used it. but in fact all this It is a technical term. Each one has a specific job and There is a level of consciousness. If these are cut rough If you try to understand then you might get confused. Because West's philosophy is a completely different thought. in There is a working thought behind all this that Sankhya Not physical reality but consciousness

32:10 Tries to explain. just because A person can understand his true identity. So it is not different from the outside world. agrees. I do not believe it is different from my mind. It doesn't say that the sense object is outside. Sense is in. Then connects the two. it Creates a world of one experience. Sense and object are not separate parts of the same event There are two forms. Mind energy matter is one chain. And The world is not as we see it. But As it appears to our mind.

32:56 As the new physics says, it is just This is not a universe worth seeing It is a participatory universe. Let me give you an example. This morning I had a fresh mango for breakfast ate. Very beautiful and very fragrant Cooked at just the right time. whose peel It was glowing red and orange. You You can understand from my words that I like common people I like it so much. I had used thousands of mangoes in my childhood. I have eaten them and I like almost all kinds of mangoes from them. Identification by colour, size, taste, smell and feel I come in. Sankhya says that this mango which gives me so much

33:42 I liked it actually not in the outside world Is. At least not the way I thought of him I felt it. The common thing in itself is Not red and orange. this color is ours There are categories of nervous system. which is just one We can look at a small energy range. my dog bogard is never red and orange Will not be visible normally. All he will see is a grey box In which he will not find anything special. Mango is worth less to him than buttered toast It's interesting but my mind is at 5

34:28 connects the information received from the senses and creates a clear common form in consciousness and The same form There is nothing outside, this is my experience. It is not that there is no real arm. But what i felt my sense perception And my knowing is all in consciousness. Elsewhere No. Or should I say that we are never away from the real world I am not able to find it. Whatever happens it gets on our nerves There is experience of the system. Samkhya considers Prakriti as a set of powers

35:13 area which is defined as the property They say. This is also very important in the Gita. According to Sanya, the mind of nature and conversion into matter begins when The balance of nature is disturbed. In Hindu stories it is called the day of Brahma. It was said in the morning. It means a time when all Something is spreading rapidly. At the very moment of creation, nature becomes different. She goes. The three basic energies are as follows: Property. Every state of mind and matter is based on these three qualities

35:59 It is a mix of. Tamas means accumulation, Rajas means movement and Sattva means balance or Calmness. This translation is just an approximation because Concepts like virtue are not found in any other philosophy. I am not available. Another meaning of Guna can be thread. And In the Gita, virtue is the fabric of existence Having said. The veil that separates unity hides it in the form of . Tamas is the hiding power of Maya. Darkness which hides the real unity. Rajas distracts the mind from the real truth

36:47 It removes it and takes us towards the outside world. Meaning qualities are actually the origin of the mind Is. When the mind's activity stops Life appears as it is. We think of qualities as different levels of consciousness. I can think about it too. Tamas at the bottom It is unconscious. Everything old is useless thinking of garbage has accumulated. of the unconscious It means a place where only old experiences remain no but the ancient animal species of man There are also instincts. This is common in all humans. the deepest

37:35 The unconscious is universal. No one in the darkness No choice. No awakening. just your Basic desires are taken care of. everything else It is dark. Rajas is what we commonly call the mind. Are. Thoughts, flowing stream of thought, desire, tension, jealousy, planning, conflict, tiredness, everything It is mixed. Rajas, the power is there but without Control, just focus on yourself. Sat is ultimately the Mind that is above. Thoughtless

38:20 Different cool. I have control over myself. This is not a forceful control. This is a There is a natural harmony which characterizes unity It comes from the balance of desires. Tamas And negative thoughts can still arise from Rajas. But such a person needs to act on them It does not fall. Himself without senses he is without senses Shines from work. Even being totally alone handles everything. beyond the qualities of their Enjoys the game. The Gita calls this type of change spiritual.

39:07 Part of evolution, she says. your real In this condition. Consciousness is a continuous flow. But the properties we have fallen from our original state due to the effect of Are. and our consciousness is in pieces or Sometimes it remains stagnant. We see life with a broken mind Let's see it broken. different selves There is enmity and conflict inside. Meaning of evolution according to Gita Slowly returning back to its original state. First of all Tamas has to be transformed into Rajas. Depression and lack of sensitivity can be replaced by energy and

39:55 Transform into excitement. But the energy of Rajas remains focused only on itself. Is. It keeps spreading here and there. This energy Controlling for the above ideal Does matter. Then it becomes truth. when the whole Shakti gets involved in selfless action. Happiness is found in this condition. Calm Your Mind remains. There is plenty of strength and focus too Like a genius. Soul in deep meditation in calm mind She looks at herself. union of soul to soul By seeing this the seeker feels complete happiness and peace.

40:41 he knows. Gita is not a system of any one philosophy I would tell you. This is something for every God seeker. Nor does she give anything. whatever its nature yes. No matter which path he takes. The reason for this is that the Gita is actually It is practical. This is about self realization There is a manual and a guide to action. Geeta is the greatest text book of Yoga. But the word Yoga has many meanings. There are so many paths to self-realization That is the meaning of yoga. So which yoga is Gita about? do you talk?

41:28 Generally people say that Geeta is three or four It talks about the ages. The Four Main Paths of Hindu Mysticism Gyan Yoga means the path of knowledge In which a human being, by his own will and thought, Separate you from your body, mind and senses Begins to understand. until he realizes that he is just a soul Is. Bhakti yoga is the path of love in which Man sees himself completely in God Takes it. This is the way Christianity, Judaism And people also make more mistakes in Islam

42:13 Are. Karma yoga in which a person controls his body and mind by destroying the identity of the Respecting yourself, you put your small effort in serving others Forget about yourself. and Raja Yoga The path of meditation in which the mind and the senses is controlled so much that the mind becomes totally calm and the soul of the man It gets absorbed in. Indians love to classify everything And it is said that there are 18 chapters of Gita and three Are divided into parts. Each part has six chapters

42:58 Of six chapters. The first part is of Karma Yoga. Second knowledge Of Yoga and the third is of Bhakti Yoga. Meaning Geeta starts with karma and then self it comes to knowledge and finally to love It ends on the road. This scheme is not so sure and non Hindus Readers may find it difficult to find it in the text yes. But these themes are in the Gita and Krishna Different places emphasize different meanings of yoga We give it. Sometimes he talks about knowledge. Sometimes about action, sometimes about meditation, sometimes about love. In this way the Gita is for every person following a spiritual path.

43:46 She gives something or the other for it. and for 2000 years Every major school of Indian philosophy has accepted the Gita Quoted in support of my point. Because of this changing nature, scholars Geeta seems to be confused with herself. Arjun also got confused who was looking at all of us Ask questions from. Krishna says that at the beginning of chapter three You say that knowledge is better than action. Then why am I punished for such a bad thing? are you saying? Your words are confusing. She is confusing me. me same

44:34 Tell me the way which is best. At this time Arjun says on behalf of every reader And for those who want only one way Therefore this confusion increases. Gita explains the different meanings of all the yoga words. brings us together in one place so that we understand the true meaning of everything Could. Krishna says leave all support and only Take refuge in me. I you your I will cleanse you of your old sins. Do not grieve do it. Krishna is the soul. This line means that the external things and

45:21 Drop the props and just be yourself But have faith. your strength only comes from within Find it. Self realization of any good deed There is no reward. There is no name. To understand this, you must remember that the main verse of the Gita is The focus is on the mind. Mostly human work They are full of ego, good or bad. Such work does not clear the consciousness because It keeps creating new karma in the mind. That means we keep getting entangled. Selfless work clears the consciousness.

46:09 Because when there is no wave of ego then New karma is not created. Just Mind The Old Keeps finishing the karma. Shankara explains it with the example of a potter's mill. Are. Ego's job is to keep the mill turning and making vessels of karma. New ideas, new Wishes Will Wish. When this useless activity stops, new Utensils are not made. But for some time the mill will not be able to move with the old momentum. It keeps rotating. in every mistake's life This is the most difficult phase. You have done everything. Now just wait a bit

46:57 Have to wait for . In the end, without any For obvious reason the mill stops and The process of the mind dissolves in samadhi. Chapter One The War Within Shri Krishna explains to Arjun and his When Arjuna is with his brother he encourages him for the rights of your own family and friends going to war against. From here the religious book Bhagavad Gita i.e. The song of God begins. Shri Krishna is

47:46 Bhagwan The Lord who is a form of Vishnu. They That part of God which saves the world and handles it. when evil forces destroy them Trying to spoil it. Krishna came to earth as the king of the Yadava dynasty I have come in. That is why they have royal splendor on one side And on the other side is the hidden power of devotion. But the war of Gita is not the war of Krishna Is. This is Arjuna's war. Krishna is just Arjuna's charioteer and advisor. He promises Arjun that he will

48:34 Time will be with them. But Krishna vowed that he would fight the war himself. I will not do it. The status of a charioteer is much higher than that of a warrior. It is small. But this small role of Krishna Just because of her love for Arjun We adopt it. Krishna is at the right place as the charioteer. To give advice and courage to Arjuna without breaking his promise that he himself would fight Will not enter. To get their rights, Arjun and his Brothers have no other enemy Rather, we have to fight with our own relatives.

49:22 People who have occupied the state for years Already done. The sad thing is that standing up against them Among them was his own uncle, the blind king Dhritarashtra and he is also a guru and an elder. from whom Arjun and his brothers at a young age I would have learnt it. Some more warriors in the first chapter of the war There is also mention of it. People of India consider all these as old stories. We know from. But to the outsiders, these The names may sound strange. Arjun and his brothers They are known as Pandavas. of the Pandava sons Yudhishthira, Bhima, Arjuna, Sahadeva and

50:11 Nakul. The people on the other side are called Kauravas. Kuru Son of This is a bit confusing because both The family belongs to the Kuru dynasty. But the Pandavas now They are in a different group. Therefore he was called the Pandava's He is called son so that he can be identified. The Pandavas were once the kings of Hastinapur. But He went to the forest to perform religious penance and He died in his youth. His elder brother Dhritarashtra was born blind. Were. That is why he was never made a king Went. But he used to share the power with his brother.

50:57 After the death of the Pandavas, their elder son Yudhishthira was to become the king. But because Yudhishthira was young at that time. Dhritarashtra is the Continue to rule. Gradually Dhritarashtra's son I developed an attachment for Duryodhana. to be king As a citizen they had to follow the truth and Yudhishthira was to be made the king. Old on the The blind king wanted to do politics for his son Put. Anyway, the succession to the throne has been going on for many generations. I was filled with confusion. And it could also be thought that Duryodhana Became king. But the goodness of Yudhishthira and the badness of Duryodhana

51:44 Evil has decided. At least Moral From the point. Now everyone's decision is only for Duryodhan It could only have happened in war. Some more warriors are also met in the first chapter Are. Two very important names of Mahabharata The story features Drona and Bhishma. Drona was a Brahmin. Looking for money on I chose the path of war and Became expert in the art of weapons. Those Pandavas And he was the teacher of both the Kauravas. So he Taught war to both sides. Duryodhana even joked about this in year three They blow it away.

52:31 Even from Drona's own son Ashwatthama Arjun was a better disciple. Bhishma was the grand sire of both sides. real He is not a grandfather but a respected elder Are. He was the son of Dhritarashtra for many years advisor and consider it their duty to Stand with the king. and try to save them from mistakes Do it. There is another man named Sanjay who told the entire Gita to the blind king Dhritarashtra Let me tell you. Sanjay himself on the battlefield Not there. But it is written in the text that Vyasa The sage has given him divine sight so that he

53:19 Can see and hear everything. We get this clearly in chapter one of the Gita. Makes us feel like we're on a battlefield Are. A devastating battle begins It is of this. But as soon as Krishna started speaking yes, we are out from the battle field Philosophy and Spiritual Vision of Consciousness I go away. The first chapter is a bridge to the real Geeta To the topics. So we need to focus more on this No need to stop. Still, the first chapter is a point of much debate

54:04 It is made. Mainly in this there is a debate on the morality of war Because of what has been said. There are basically two types of views which are almost the same It is opposite to the other. One is Orthodox Hindu view is that the Gita is for warriors Believes war is right. This is their religion. It is his moral duty to do so for a good cause Fought. But never for bad leaders. To understand this, it is also necessary to say that in Hindu society war also has its own There are laws, limits and rules. Mahabharata according to this orthodox view

54:51 And the lesson from Gita is that war is bad but it's evil Can't avoid it. It is evil but the warrior's This is a glorious evil. fought in the right way for the right cause The fight is also according to God's will. For this reason in the Mahabharata, Yudhishthira and his Brother after completing his duty in next birth I find peace in. The second view is of mystic people who are more It is subtle. Suttle For them this fight is a symbol. One There is a cosmic struggle. of good and evil

55:39 between. Krishna came to bring back truth to the earth Are. And he says the same thing to Arjuna too. This is truly a spiritual struggle. According to this interpretation, Arjun To ask for war is to be beneath you Fighting with the nature of. Mahatma Gandhi who considered the Gita as his Made it the main part of life. he believed that if we really follow the teachings of Gita then Violence is not possible. If someone says that the Gita If she supports violence then she is only supporting it Paying attention to the starting verses. Ignoring the real Scripture.

56:29 Dhritarashtra says o sanjay Tell me who is the protector of Dharma in Kurukshetra When my family and the Pandavas fought in the battlefield What happened to the gathered for? sanjay says When Duryodhana saw that the Pandava army When she is ready for war she goes to her Guru He went to Drona and said, "Guruji, look." Made by your own disciple Yudhishthira The large army of the Pandavas There are brave warriors and great archers here

57:14 Who is equal to Bheem and Arjun. We have many more warriors who Ready to even sacrifice my life. of all wars Expert and equipped with different weapons. Our army is infinite and Bhishma is its commander Are. Their army is small and Bhima is the commander Is. Everybody stand up in your place and Give full support to Bhishma. Then Bhishma is the greatest guru and grandfather of all To boost Duryodhana's morale, a lion was killed. He roared and blew his conch.

58:02 After Bhishma, there were more conches, lions and drums There was a very loud noise. Then Shri Krishna and Arjuna, riding a magnificent chariot They stood with the white horses blew his divine conch. Then O Dhritarashtra, the king of the earth When your son's army is ready in place and the fight was about to begin. Arjun has Said these words to Shri Krishna. O Krishna, take my chariot between the two armies Let go. I want to see who is with me

58:47 Have come to fight. With whom is this war being fought Going to do. I want to see who are the Duryodhans have come to fight for. who are the people that Please the son of Dhritarashtra who had evil thoughts To stand in battle? Arjun said so and Shri Krishna answered his carrying a magnificent chariot between the two armies Made him stand up. Bhishma stands before Drona and all the kings Having done this Krishna said, Arjun See All the Kuru is gathered here.

59:35 And Arjuna stood between the two armies Being your father, grandfather, teacher, uncle, brother, Sons, grandchildren, Saw everyone including in-laws and friends. Seeing your own relatives standing in front of you Seeing this Arjun's heart was filled with sadness. Worried Being then Arjuna said, O Krishna, I see that my own Only relatives are standing to fight. My body is getting weak. my mouth is dry Has gone. My body is trembling and my I got goosebumps.

1:00:22 My skin is burning. my bow gandev It has fallen from the hand. I am not even able to stand. My My mind is spinning. These are all bad signs. I don't think that Anything good will come from killing your own people. Hey Krishna, I neither want victory nor kingdom I don’t want happiness. What is the benefit of kingdom happiness or life? When The people we want all this for Guru, Father, Son, Grandfather, Uncle, Father-in-law, Grandson And these are the people with their families who stand in the war Are. Leaving behind all his wealth and life.

1:01:09 Even if it kills me. I do not them could kill. I want to be the king of all three worlds Why not make it? only of the earth Not at all for that. hey krishna to us What is the use of killing Dhritarashtra's sons? will get? We are sinners even after killing bad people It will be made soon. Dhritarashtra's sons are ours They are relatives. So we don’t have them Should be killed. By killing our own family How can one find happiness? Those people have become blinded by greed. Them Breaking up families or hurting friends I don't see any evil. But we see it

1:01:54 It has been happening. So why don't we avoid such sin? When a family dies, it's an old tradition It also ends. life with him the spiritual foundation of the Unity in the family also ends. The disintegration of society is hell for the family too And also for those who break families. From this spiritual principles started by our forefathers Progress also breaks down. The old religious foundation of life A family which is broken by bad deeds breaks the unity. It is said that those whose

1:02:42 When family religion ends it goes to hell they live. This is a big sin. We are the state's In the greed for happiness, you kill your own relatives They are ready to kill. For me it is so It would be better if Dhritarashtra's sons I am shameless and unarmed, carrying weapons Kill him. Arjuna was so filled with grief that he Having said everything, I put my bow and arrow in the chariot He kept it and sat on the chariot in the middle of the battle. Chapter Two Self Realization.

1:03:32 Now the work of Shri Krishna was to become Arjun's Guru. that he can relieve Arjuna from his sorrow and despair pull them out and reveal their true form Take it to the side. Arjun is basically an action man. whose name is associated with his bravery, his Nobility and Known for his mastery in the art of war. He is intelligent but doesn't think much Is. But in these difficult times, they It seems that action alone is not enough Is. Now they have to face the biggest dilemma of life and death Old questions have to be asked. What their Is there any soul? Does she exist even after death?

1:04:20 Is? Is there any depth above this world Is it the truth? if there is So can we know him directly? And Because Arjun is practical. Such an identity What impact does it have on daily life? Krishna in his answer tells almost all the truths of Gita Choose big topics and ideas. So this chapter is kind of a continuation of what is coming next. There is a short summary of 16 chapters. Shri Krishna first gives Arjun his immortality Reminds me of the form. their real The existence soul never dies nor is born

1:05:08 It happens. He is always there. Arjuna understands that he is the master of this mind and soul are stuck in a deep case of. So he Formally asks Krishna to become his Guru. This is a basic step in Hindu tradition Because it is believed that every seeker has a An experienced Guru is needed. Arjun too are on this path and it is their fate that He meets Krishna himself. If we look at it in the language of the story, then Krishna is the soul is the symbol of. The deepest thing inside Arjun Form.

1:05:54 This chapter also talks about the idea of religion and the world. Brings it. The soul covers the body like a garment She wears it. when the cloth gets old It is removed and a new one is worn. Just like that soul or jiva from one birth to another goes. Just as death is certain for the living. Likewise, new birth is certain for the dead Is. Sanjaya tells Dhritarashtra These are the words that Shri Krishna uttered in sorrow Said to broken Arjun Whose eyes had tears of pity and confusion.

1:06:41 Krishna says Arjuna This is a moment of despair and weakness Not worthy of a warrior like you. How did you fall so far from the path of freedom Went? This weakness is not right for you. get up Gather your courage and defeat your enemy. Arjun says Krishna I am a devotee of people worthy of respect like Bhishma and Drona How can I raise my sword against him? How can I fight? I think living by begging is also a challenge for these big people Better than killing people. If I to these

1:07:28 If I kill you then whatever happiness I get will be given to someone else It will not be of any use. I don't understand what is good? We He or she should win. The sons of Dhritarashtra are standing before us. But if we kill them, then What is the benefit of winning? my mind is very weak It is done. I am absolutely confused. Tell me what is good for me? I am your disciple now. I am at your feet I am here. Show me the right path. Arjuna told all this to Krishna and said Krishna I will not fight and be quiet

1:08:16 Went. Then standing between the two armies, Shri Krishna smiled and was immersed in sorrow replied Arjun. Krishna says You are telling the truth but your pain is useless Is. Arjun Wise people don't cry for the living For the dead. There was never a time when I was you or all this king there weren't and there will never be a time when we Will be. Just as a man's body, childhood, youth and sees old age. likewise after death The soul takes another body. wise people

1:09:07 Don't get dizzy with these changes. When the senses collide with objects Man feels cold or heat, happiness or sadness Is. All these experiences are momentary. let's come And they go away. bear them peacefully Arjun. which are not affected by these changes, They remain the same in happiness and sadness, that is the truth He is wise and deserves to be immortal. One who is fickle has no real reality. The real truth is only in immortal things. Who People understand the difference between the two

1:09:52 He alone knows everything. understand that thing which is spread throughout the world and It does not end. No power can erase that eternal truth Can. The body is mortal. but he who lives in it He is immortal. Whose size cannot be measured. so o Arjun, fight in this war. Somebody thinks he is killing. somebody thinks that he is going to be killed. both are unaware Is. Nobody kills anybody, nobody dies Is. You never changed. you never change

1:10:37 Can. He who is never born is immortal. It's always the same. It is old. that body It does not die by the death of. He who knows that the soul is immortal, she is neither born nor dies, she is not How will he kill him? Like a man takes off his old clothes and puts on new ones wears, likewise the soul leaving a body The second one takes a new body. no to the soul Neither a sword can pierce, nor fire can burn, Can be wet with water, not air dried Is.

1:11:22 The soul cannot be pierced or burned it can neither be wetted nor dried May go. She is everlasting, infinite and Is immortal. The soul is beyond everything, beyond thought, is beyond change. Knowing all this you will never There should be no sadness. o arjun One who is born is sure to die and one who He died and it is certain that he will be born again Is. When all this cannot be avoided then why be sad? Not every creature is visible in the beginning. Then It is visible. then eventually he hides again

1:12:10 Is. So what is there to be sad about in this? Every living being The soul that is in the body is always immortal. Him Can't do any harm. so don't you be sad Tax. You feel shy considering your religion Should not be done. From the war against evil to the warrior Nothing big happens. The warrior who faces such a battle The door to heaven opens for him. O! Arjun But if you don't fight against evil If you do it, it will be a sin. your religion and honor You will lose both.

1:12:56 Your infamy will be talked about everywhere and For a man of honour, dishonour is worse than death It grows bigger. All these warriors will think that you You ran away out of fear and those who respected you earlier Those who used to give you money will also ignore you. If you die, you will get heaven. if you win You will get the happiness of the earth. So get up Arjuna. Get ready for war. pleasant advantage Considering win and loss as the same, this big Go to war. then you are free from sin You will get rid of it. Till now you have heard the knowledge of Sankhya. Now

1:13:44 Listen to the basic rules of yoga. practise them So you can break the bonds of karma. Any hard work done on this path will never It is never wasted and there is never any defeat. Even a little spiritual effort can overcome the biggest fear Protects from. Those who walk on this path with all their heart, They only want to have me. His mind is focused on one goal. But Those who do not have this determination. Their Decisions always go astray. Some people are ignorant. she is sweet sweet we talk and the words of the scriptures

1:14:32 I remain entangled in it. and says that's just it Everything is there. They only have their own desires in mind Arjun. Their heaven is also their own happiness and the purpose of every work is just pleasure and power I have to get it. the fruits of their actions again One is born again. Those who want happiness and strength are entangled in the affair of, he never goes up I am unable to understand anything nor can I go into Samadhi Can be done. There is talk of three qualities in the scriptures. But you go beyond these qualities. in truth get frozen. Keep control over yourself.

1:15:19 Don't look at two colors. not to receive or deposit anything Have a desire for it. Like when the whole village is flooded with rain then the pond There is no work left. Likewise, the man who every the place sees god for him Even the scriptures have no meaning. Your right is only to work. His Not on the fruit. Arjun says: Krishna tell me that those who always remain in the knowledge I remain stable. who recognises himself Let's take it, how does he say it? How is that Should I sit? How are you? Krishna says

1:16:05 who finds himself in all and all in himself Let's see. which fulfills every selfish desire and I have given up the hunger for the senses. Same They are the ones with real knowledge. who is not in sorrow Neither do we get scared nor do we get greedy in happiness. Who Work is free from fear and anger. which attention I remain stable. He is really smart Are. He who is free from selfish attachments, Rejoice in good luck, not bad Sad in condition. Such people see correctly We find it. Like a tortoise folds its arms and legs in sensible people take their own

1:16:51 You can control your senses whenever you want Are. He who is a seeker should stay away from sensuous pleasures. It happens but there is still a lack of peace inside them. I remain hungry. The hunger ends when They find the real target. Even a very knowledgeable person is sometimes very sharp The senses come under shock. who controls his senses and Always keep your mind focused on me. Same They are the ones with real knowledge. When you talk about something over and over again If you think about it then you get attached. by affection

1:17:37 A desire is born. then comes greed and Then he becomes angry and starts burning. Anger When it comes, a veil falls over the intellect. A man knows nothing about his past mistakes I would learn. The difference between right and wrong is lost And life gets ruined. but when You can live amidst the senses without any attachment and live without hatred Then you find that peace where every sorrow it ends and you recognize yourself Do you take it? For someone whose mind is wandering Knowledge is far away. He can't even concentrate.

1:18:25 When there is no peace in the mind then where is happiness? Will it come from? If you keep your mind away from the senses If you send it back, it will affect your intellect We will pick you up and take you away. Like a strong storm sweeps the boat away in the sea She gives it. Use all your strength to satisfy your senses And keep yourself free from both. Then only your You will gain knowledge of the true form. The night which is for everyone is the same for the wise There is light and the day that is for the world There is darkness for the wise. Like all rivers merge into the sea But the ocean never fills up. same way

1:19:13 All the desires of the senses too, which are beyond the reach of a wise man There is a sea of peace inside him She goes. This is the highest position. This By getting it, a man overcomes death and becomes immortal Is. Chapter Three Selfless Service. The name of this chapter in Sanskrit is Karma Yoga i.e. the path of karma and here it seems as if We have started talking about something different from the previous chapter. Arjun also changes his question now. Krishna was trying to explain to them

1:19:59 that his soul is immortal. But Arjun is still Also worry about your immediate condition have been. Arjun thinks that perhaps he We do it, it is not that important. Is Krishna telling them that that's it Acquire knowledge and understand your world Forget the responsibilities. The world is caught up in its own activities Because every living being lives only for its own happiness It works for . That is why he is dedicated to his work is tied to the fruit of. whether it is good or bad. We have to work with selfless spirit. Without ego, without the tension of the result

1:20:46 What will come out? Only then can we escape from the evil net of karma I will not get trapped. No one can escape from his duty even if he does not do his duty Can. something to stay alive It has to be done. The truth is that there is another in the Hindu scriptures There is also a path of Gyan Yoga i.e. knowledge way. In which there is no need to do anything. But Krishna does not give this path to Arjun. They just tell you and then leave it. Perhaps Krishna knows the nature of Arjun It is not that everything is left behind and knowledge is lost. Let's start searching. Work for Arjun

1:21:32 It is necessary to do it. Arjuna tells Krishna that O Krishna you said that knowledge is better than action It is big. Then I had to face such a terrible fight Why are you saying this? Your words to me It doesn't look like that. I'll show you a straight path Tell me what will do the greatest good. Krishna says in the beginning I had two The routes were shown. Jnana Yoga which is the pure mind For those who do this, there is the path of meditation and action Yoga which is the path of service and action. A person who avoids karma does not get salvation I would get it. No one can achieve anything simply by doing nothing

1:22:20 I cannot attain salvation. The truth is that no one can be there even for a moment I cannot sit completely peacefully. Every Creature He is compelled to act according to his nature. The person who doesn't work from outside but works from the heart Brings thoughts of luxury and enjoyment. him true cannot be called a seeker. But one who controls the senses with his mind and whoever uses them in service is right Is. Arjun, fulfill all your duties It is best to do it. to your body You have to work to run it too It will have to be

1:23:05 Selfish action binds the world. Do your work without any selfishness. without any Think about personal benefits. In the beginning, man and service both come together Were born. Walking on the path of service You will always get fruits. your every The wish will be fulfilled. Respect the gods, Arjuna, and he too I will respect you. This respect and Through love you can achieve the greatest good. Only gods fulfill all the desires of humans Are. Those who are happy with the service. But who Just took from the gods but did not serve

1:23:51 He is a thief. Every service arises from Brahman. which is infinite And God is the one who always remains. Brahma is the base of every service. whole life It operates on the same law. Arjun who Live only for your own happiness and don't care about others Their lives be useless She goes. but those who have found themselves Yes, he is always satisfied. Me There is nothing left to be achieved in the three worlds Arjun. Nor do I need anything. Yet I continue to work without any As per your need. If I ever stop working

1:24:40 If I give it to you, everyone will immediately follow me. If I quit my job, I will be ruined in the whole world There will be chaos and eventually everything will be ruined Will be ruined. Arjuna asks Krishna which one It is the power that enables us to do our selfish work But does she force you? What is that power that It pulls us against our will Is? Krishna says this selfish desire and Anger is what arises from Rajas Guna. These are the hungers and evils that are the cause of man's It puts life in danger. like fire

1:25:26 Mirror from smoke, dust and womb from child It is hidden. Similarly, knowledge is selfish The desire hides it. Arjun never wished this It cannot be extinguished. This is the wisest man's She is a big enemy. Selfish desire senses, mind and intellect She lives in. misleads them and confuses their understanding It puts us into darkness. with full force Fight, Arjun. control your senses do it. Selfishness is your worst enemy Defeat the desire. The senses are above the body. mind senses is above. Intelligence is above the mind and wisdom is above the mind

1:26:13 The soul is above even this. So when you know the ultimate truth So control your ego with your soul. Arjuna uses his power to Eliminate the worst enemy: selfish desire Do it. Chapter Four Widow in Action Krishna wants Arjuna to be at the top one may gain knowledge of spiritual truth or else It may be a rare mystical experience. But Arjuna just wants that Krishna Get them out of their trouble. By the way

1:27:01 Arjun's problem is also not small. He is caught in a family tragedy Which has now become a dangerous war. If he couldn't extricate myself So they have to be a part of that war. will have to Which no one wants. That is why when Krishna tells Arjuna that now You're about to learn some secrets Because you are my most beloved devotee and You are a friend. Krishna says I told this truth to Vivasat. Vivasat said Manu taught and Manu taught Icchhua.

1:27:48 In this way Arjun and the great sages taught him Yoga. Knowledge is continually acquired through tradition. But with time this knowledge of yoga became widespread in the world I got lost. The mystery of these teachings is deep. I today I told you this because you're my friend And you are a devotee. Arjun says: So you were born after Vivasat. vivasat to That was a long time ago. How can you say that You taught this yoga first. Krishna says Both you and I have taken many births. Arjun, you have forgotten but I remember everything

1:28:37 Am. My true identity is never born Sometimes it changes. I am the Supreme God who resides in everything. By the power of my own illusion I I will show you in a limited form. Whenever religion weakens and the way to live Forget the purpose. I come to earth Am. I am born in every era. well To protect people and eradicate evil and to re-establish religion For He who believes in me as the God within him, This breaks the illusion that it is just a body.

1:29:25 Then they are not born again. no such Arjun Becomes one with me. Those who are free from attachment, fear and anger Are. Finding me with all the love, you are Dedicate it to me. who were purified in my sacred fire Are. There are many people who are in unity with me. I have arrived in. As people come to me, I I find them the same. Arjuna eventually comes to me through all means Are. Those people who want success in their work,

1:30:11 worship the gods. of the human being By working in the world their desires are soon fulfilled It is completed. The distinctions of caste, qualities and actions also came from me. Are. I am the reason for it all. But I myself I am beyond everything and without any work I'm stuck. No work sticks to me because I am not attached to its fruits. After knowing this truth, even the seekers of old age Wanted liberation. So you too should move forward working like them You can grow. What is karma and what is akarma?

1:30:58 This question confused even the great sages. has put. I will now tell you the secret of karma by which You can break your bonds. It is difficult to understand the true nature of karma. You have to understand what karma is. What There is karma and which karma should be abandoned. Wise people see that even in inaction There is action and in between the action too
