Analysis
of Bhagavad Gita
(understanding bhagavad gita)
A critical analysis
of Bhagavad Gita can always be attempted at any stage of life but
the results would probably be nil. Why? Analysis of Bhagvad Gita
is difficult for the reason that contents of Bhagavad-Gita can never
be understood literally! For assimilating the wisdom contained
in sacred Bhagavat Gita of Hinduism one needs reading in between
the lines!
To analyze Bhagavad
Gita one needs reaching the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)!
The moment that happens... the enlightened one need not analyze
Bhagvad Gita any further... the need for analysis of Bhagavad-Gita
now ceases to exist. One who gains enlightenment understands the
gist of Bhagavat Gita like ABCD!
For analyzing
Bhagavad-Gita truthfully one needs traveling the spiritual path...
the uncharted path of spirituality... traveling which one gained
enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Part
analysis of Bhagavad Gita is possible to some extent by following
a set pattern as detailed in Bhagvad-Gita.
For understanding
Bhagavad Gita... for interpreting the sacred Bhagavat Gita...
one needs understanding crux of cosmic life... the essentials of
karma... the role played by five senses and the mind! One also
need understand the meaning of celibacy... the process of kundalini
awakening... the difference between religion and spirituality!
While interpreting
Bhagavad-Gita we realize the absolute truth of life... it is our
soul atman the spirit within that is on its cosmic journey of 8.4
million manifestations... an earthly life cycle of 96.4 million
years! It is our soul atman the spirit within that manifests the
human form to work out its karma... remove the dross impurities
within!
It is by following
the dictates contained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... we realize
that fruits of karma performed... never belonged to body... the
human form! The fruits of our works... the karma performed always
belonged to our soul atman the spirit within and never the human
form! The prime reason why human beings are simply an instrument
in the hands of God!
As per Bhagavad Gita every soul atman manifests the human form
to cleanse itself of the dross impurities within. Similar as
one KG of pure gold sandwiched in hundred KG lump of gold ore cannot
separate itself of its own and requires external mining machinery
and processes... every soul atman also requires manifesting a series
of 8.4 million bodies on the whole!
The moment human
beings reached the 8.4 millionth manifestation... as per sacred
Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism... the enlightened one after gaining enlightenment
(kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha) enters the abode
of God... the kingdom of God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism).
The contents
of sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism can never be assimilated by
followers of religion. For analyzing Bhagavad-Gita... for understanding
Bhagvad Gita traveling the path of spirituality is a necessity...
a compulsion in the journey of life! To understand our real inner
self... our soul atman the spirit within we have to understand the
intricacies of spirituality!
While analyzing Bhagavad Gita it becomes absolutely clear and transparent
that one needs establishing absolute control over five senses and
the mind! Establishing absolute control over five senses and
mind is very difficult to attain in ones lifetime of 70 to 80 years...
the prime reason why in the last 150 years only two persons reached
the stage of enlightenment!
Both Sri Ramakrishna
Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana started their journey towards God
via path of bhakti yoga! Subsequently the path of bhakti yoga merged
with the path of jnana yoga... the path of absolute wisdom! It is
by traveling the path of absolute wisdom... the path of jnana yoga...
both Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana finally gained
enlightenment!
Enlightenment
can never be gained by traveling the path of bhakti yoga or karma
yoga alone... one needs traveling the path of jnana yoga finally
to reach the kingdom of God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism). The
path of jnana yoga entails understanding wisdom contained in sacred
Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism in totality!
Step-by-step... shloka by shloka (verse by verse) human beings
finally edged towards understanding the intricacies of Bhagavad
Gita... analyzing Bhagavat-Gita to whatever extent possible!
The messages contained in sacred Scriptures can only be understood
by traveling the spiritual path... never the path of religion...
the path of rituals!
A critical analysis
of Bhagavad Gita has been attempted by many scientists world over
but none has succeeded till date! Why? The contents of sacred Bhagavad-Gita...
the analysis of Bhagavat Gita can never be made by following the
precincts of science! Science demands proofs that are not forthcoming
in the system of God.
The entire cosmic
system... the doctrine of spirituality is run on faith... absolute
faith in God Almighty! It is by following the path of absolute faith
Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed, Sri Ramakrishna
Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana finally gained enlightenment in
their lifetime!
The path of spirituality... the absolute wisdom contained in
sacred Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism is beyond the purview of science!
The path of science is simply meant for the physical manifest life
of 70 to 80 years! On the contrary... the spiritual path entails
a journey that is covered in a total of 1.1 million manifestations
in the human form!
The sacred Bhagavat-Gita
of Hinduism is necessitated if one desires traveling the spiritual
path... reaching the end goal of life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation!
Those busy with the routine affairs of life need not travel the
spiritual path at all. God Almighty ordained a total journey of
12.4 million earthly years for human beings to reach the stage of
enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)!
Who knows what
we shall be in the next manifestation... it is better we travel
the spiritual path now! As human beings we have only one life to
live. As per the doctrine of karma even though two manifest life
forms are intrinsically connected but on the physical manifest plane
we are limited by the life span of 70 to 80 years... the existing
physical manifest life!
The journey of life truly belongs to our soul atman the spirit
within! our soul atman the spirit within soul atman the spirit within being the truthful
master and controller of the body... it is imperative on human beings
to follow the dictates of our soul atman... the voice of our soul
atman that seems to come from within our heart!
Guided by the
promptings of our soul atman I finally realized God in 1993 at 37
years of age! I started in search of God when 11 years of age. By
13 my simple desire turned to firm conviction... come whatever may
in this very life I shall see and meet God! 25 years of yoga meditation
I finally reached the portals of God Almighty... the stage of God
realization!
Understanding
the core teachings of Bhagavad Gita has its benefits! One becomes
the master of free will... our own destiny! In a way we finally
manifest
destiny by pursuing the path of absolute truthfulness... the
path of spirituality as ordained by Bhagavad-Gita! Bhagvad Gita
is not a document to be read in its entirety... one needs assimilating
the wisdom contained therein!
Mere literal reading of Bhagavat-Gita would land us nowhere! For
fathoming the depth of wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita... we need
proceeding step-by-step... shloka by shloka (verse by verse)! The
moment inherent meaning of the shloka start becoming clear... it
is like drinking nectar all the time!
The sacred Bhagavad
Gita of Hinduism is a universal document... it has universal appeal!
Any person living world over... belonging to any belief, religion
or faith can understand the wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita and
reach the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation
(moksha).
No matter what...
the portals of God... the kingdom of God can never be reached via
the path of religion... the path of Jaina doctrines... the path
of Buddhist scriptures... by analyzing wisdom contained in sacred
Bible of Christianity or the sacred Quran of Islamic Dharma! Enlightenment
and salvation is always reached following teachings contained in
Bhagavad-Gita.
The messages of Bhagavad Gita... the teachings of Bhagavat-Gita
were imparted by Lord Krishna to King Arjuna in the battle of Mahabharata.
The teachings of Bhagvad Gita form the core of Hinduism. Before
precipitation of Bhagvad-Gita the initial holy books of Hinduism...
the sacred Vedas and Upanishads (independent treatises) played a
vital role!
With the coming
of Bhagavad-Gita... with the precipitation of Bhagavad Gita... the
gist of Vedas and the Upanishads was reduced to sacred Bhagvad-Gita
also termed Vedanta (the end of Vedas). In present times one need
not follow the wisdom contained in Vedas or even Upanishads... the
wisdom contained in Bhagvad Gita suffices for all practical purposes!
For learning
the ABCD of cosmic system... right from the stage of big bang to
the stage of dissolution of the cosmos (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)...
all is contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism! By attempting
to critically analyze teachings of Bhagavad-Gita and assimilating
the wisdom contained therein one finally reached the stage of enlightenment
(kaivalya jnana)!
