Chapter Seventeen: The Divisions of Faith.

There are three types of faith, corresponding to and evolving from the three modes of material nature.

THE BHAGAWAD GITA SUMMARIES

Chapter One: Observing the Armies on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra.

As the opposing armies stand poised for battle, Arjuna, the mighty warrior, sees his intimate relatives, teachers and friends in both armies ready to fight and sacrifice their lives. Overcome by grief and pity, Arjuna fails in strength, his mind becomes bewildered, and he gives up his determination to fight.

Chapter Two: Contents of the Gita summarized.

Arjuna submits to Lord Krishna as His disciple, and Krishna begins His teachings to Arjuna by explaining the fundamental distinction between the temporary material body and the eternal spiritual soul. The Lord explains the process of transmigration, the nature of selfless service to the Supreme and the characteristics of a self-realized person.

Chapter Three: Karma-yoga.

Everyone must engage in some sort of activity in this material world. But actions can either bind one to this world or liberate one from it. By acting for the pleasure of the Supreme, without selfish motives, one can be liberated from the law of karma (action and reaction) and attain transcendental knowledge of the self and the Supreme.

SHREE KRISHNA SAYS in chapter 6

They call renunciation, O son of Pandu, know to be yoga, for truly one who has not renounced desire cannot become a yogi.

Thus always practicing that which leads to nirvana, one who is a yogi, whose mind is always controlled, abides in Me and attains peace.

A person is said to be elevated in yoga when,having renounced all material desires,he neither acts for sense gratification nor engages in fruitive activities.

For him who has conquered the mind,the mind is the best of friends;but for one who has failed 2 do so,his mind will remain the greatest enemy.

From wherever the mind wanders due to its flickering & unsteady nature,one must certainly withdraw it & bring it back under the control of the self.

He who is regulated in his habits of eating,sleeping,recreation & work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system.

One must deliver himself with the help of his mind & not degrade himself.The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul & his enemy as well.

A yogi is greater than the ascetic,greater than the empiricist & greater than the fruitive worker.Therefore,O Arjuna,in all circumstances,b a yogi.

As a lamp in a windless place doesn't waver,so the transcendentalist,whose mind is controlled,remains always steady in his meditation on the transcendent self.

For one who is a neophyte in the eightfold yoga system, work is said to be the means.

When one is not attached to sense objects or activities and has renounced all desire, such a person is said to have ascended to yoga.

For one who has conquered the self, the self is a friend. However for one whose mind is not conquered, the self is the greatest enemy.

One who sees Me everywhere and sees everything in Me, from such a one I do not disappear nor is that person ever lost from Me.

One who worships Me as abiding within all beings attains unity in every way. Such a person is a true yogi and always abides in Me.

The GITA, The POWER of all humality

Hello Humans,

Lord Krishna:
Those miscreants who are deluded, who are lowest among mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, follow the ways of demons.

Lord Krishna:
O Arjuna, 4 kinds of pious men worship "ME". The distressed, The desire of wealth the inquisitive, And he who is searching for knowledge of the absolute.

Lord Krishna:
Noble indeed are all these, but the wise man, I deem, as my very Self; for, steadfast in mind he is established in "Me" alone as the Supreme Goal.





Lord Krishna:
Of these, the one who is in full knowledge & who is always engaged in devotional service is the best. For I am very dear to him, and he is dear to Me.
