BHAGAVAD GITA 16

HOME

Deva Asura Sampath Vibhagaha

16th and 17th do not deal with self knowledge at all. Self knowledge is central theme. This is Charama shadgam(last 6 chapters).

He teaches a new topic in 16th and 17th.

Scriptures say self knowledge is useful only for a prepared person.

Preparatory steps are discussed first.

Vedantha is small. Veda purva is full of preparation and preparation.

  1. Bhramacharya
  2. Grihastha
  3. Vanaprastha

Are for preparation only.

4. Sanyasa is designed for self knowledge.

We should not take preparation for granted. Without refinement Knowledge is not sure granted.

16th and 17th is for manushya sanskara.

By not enumerating this, avoided are resorted to rejection.

Samskara is put in different form.

This refignment is put in 4 different angle.

1. As human being. What refignment of manushya drishti?
2. Endowed with free will and choice. What refignment as Kartha?
3. Boktha a receiver of experience, what refignment?
4. Mumukshu , spiritual seeker, how I can bring refignment?

1,2,3 every human being requires.
4 th is important for mumukshu.
We are mumukshu, and we require extra importance.

Manushya-healthy and intellectual.

Our health is not granted. All ways, prayers, Upanishads, scriptures say, Oh lord! let me enjoy class.

Health refinement.

1. Physical health and emotional and intellectual health.

Enjoying a mind which is calm, quite and poice.

2. Emotional health is enjoying freedom from stress.

3. Intellectual health is enjoying capable of learning, clear thinking, clear communication.

Tharkashasthram helps intellectual thinking. Abstraction. 3 in one paragraph writing.
Vyakarana shasthra of panini. Refinement of communication.

All organs must funtion in integration,[aarjavam]
Ashtanga yoga. Focus field. synchronisation. Not destructed.

After this shravanam mananam and nidhidyasanam.. is good.

Kartha-thoughtful and wise

Scripture point out refinement is impulsive, thoghtless, mechanic action, instinctive actions should come down. Domain of animals should come down. 1. Thought full action should come.

2. Present,past,future should be looked upon.

3. Short term future, long-term future should be looked at.

4. Surrounding factors should be taken care of.

Act deliberately and thoughtful will take long time. Don’t act impulsively.

In short time, I do things quickly.

5.Training is required.

Raga– arohanam and avarohanam is training … I learn varnam, shishta swaram… Kalpana swaram… Shear training…

6. Impulse is avoided deliberately do things. Delebarate means slow.

Unintillegent action to wise action.

7. Action done keeping in mind the good,

Slow is wise action. People should be kept in mind. Satvik karma.

Boktha-Constantly experience lashing us. Waking up to going to bed.

1. First, wisdom, know as boktha, what I have to experiences. Choiceless experience. Old-age, childrens behaviour. Are inevitable , is awareness.

If situation are choice less, I have to go through. Stop rain means use raincoat or umbrella.

Minimum damage.
No cursing or suiside,

2. Second. strength. I can face. Help of devotion. I have God with me. I can go through. Self knowledge is single know ledge.

3. Third, Skilful. Painful experience, will lead to frustration. It is carried to kartha and kartha is disturbed.

Child writing exam, boktha’s disturbs karthad exam.
Kartha is disturbed.

4. Fourth, receptive

Boktha, evey thing is a experience. Good experience teach. Bad experience also teach. If boktha learns by experience he is intelligent.
Don’t spend time grumbling. Pain and worry should not be distributed.

Mumukshu– faith and association with three things,

1. God.
2. Guru
3. Shasthra

1. Without God spiritual journey is impossible.

Faith in God is required. Even if you don’t understand, you should have faith. Even if God is not there, faith is good and useful for health . In the way of prayer , we should spend time for God. Exclusive time for God should be kept.

2.Guru, guru will do only good to you.

Sathsanga- learning from guru with faith.

3. Scriptures- believe scriptures.

No problem with scriptures. Regular swadyayaha.

Guru is not available all time. But scriptures is notes available all times.
This is mananam and nidhidyasanam.

This four fold refinement , moksha will come to me .

Sanskara is refinement.
