Gita Acharan |English

Krishna says his lower nature (๐™–๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ง๐™– ๐™ฅ๐™ง๐™–๐™ ๐™ง๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž) is manifested (man) and higher nature (๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ง๐™– ๐™ฅ๐™ง๐™–๐™ ๐™ง๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž) is the life-element which is un-manifested. He says that '๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™œ๐™–-๐™ข๐™–๐™ฎ๐™–' (illusion born out of three ๐™œ๐™ช๐™ฃ๐™–๐™จ) separates them and prevents us from knowing HIM (๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™ข๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ข๐™–) as unborn, imperishable (7.25), knower of past, present and future (7.26). Yoga-maya is like a room full of mirrors which reflect us and it is impossible to know what is beyond it. This inability limits us to conclude that every entity is 'manifested' without realising the life-element behind everyone and Krishna calls this foolish (7.24). This is nothing but man-man interaction with disregard to ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™ข๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ข๐™– which is the path of demons (7.15).

 

Electricity (energy) flows from a higher voltage point to a lower voltage point energising electrical appliances along the way. Metaphorically, if we take ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™ข๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ข๐™– as a point of infinite voltage, the energy flow is nothing but the blessings we receive through the cable of ๐™จ๐™๐™ง๐™–๐™™๐™™๐™๐™–, helping us fulfil desires which can be termed as man-paramatma interaction.

 

It is a state of equilibrium (bliss) when both points have the same voltage and the same is reflected when Krishna says that I consider '๐™Ÿ๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ž' as 'Myself'. With ๐™ฎ๐™ช๐™ ๐™ฉ๐™–-๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ข๐™– (steadfast in ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ข๐™–), he is established in Me alone as the Supreme Goal (7.18). Such a man of wisdom reaches Me realising that all is ๐™‘๐™–๐™จ๐™ช๐™™๐™š๐™ซ๐™– (all pervading). Such a great soul is difficult to find (7.19). Essentially, the ๐™Ÿ๐™ฃ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ž overcomes the '๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™œ๐™–-๐™ข๐™–๐™ฎ๐™–' using the same blessings of ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™ข๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ข๐™– and blissfully realises that all is ๐™‘๐™–๐™จ๐™ช๐™™๐™š๐™ซ๐™–.

 

Usually, our goals in the material world involve gathering or filling but the goal of ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ง๐™–๐™ข๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ข๐™–  involves emptying ourselves and shedding of our sense of attachment, aversion and hatred like melting of a salt doll to become the ocean itself.
