Srimad Bhagavadgeeta : Chapter : 4. ( Jnana karma sanyasa yogam ) Slokam : 9 : (Lord Srikrishna reveals the secret of his Avatar to Arjuna )

-






Janma  karma  ca  me  divyam  evam  yo  vetthi  tattvatah,

Tyaktva  deham  punarjanma  naiti  mameti  sorjuna.

Arjuna  =  Dear Arjuna,
Me divyam  janma  =  My divine janmam,
Karma ca evam tattvatah  =  Karmam  this tattvic ( principle ) way,
Yah vetthi  sah  = One  who  knows,
Deham  tyaktva  =  Sacrifice (leave )  his  body,
Punar  janma  na  eti  =  Thereafter never attain rebirth,
Mam  eti  = ( But ) attain ( unite with )  me. ( He becomes God himself, Jeevatma and Paramatma supreme union ).

In the last  slokam ( 8th ), Avatharam (Incarnation) what for? , and how it is possible? , after explaining these things in general, Lord declares :  “Those who understand my the Avatar leelas ( plays ), thereafter, continuously meditate come out of all bounds of relationships, and unite with the Supreme Truth The Infinite. The Sanskrit word ‘Tattvatah’ indicates this, that it is not a simple knowing of information, but is a full complete Union of Atmas : ‘BLISS’ that, again confirmed: “The Supreme Lord takes Avatharam in us. “

Now practically we have an uncertain, limited life , yes it is true,  but, sometimes, when we involved in un-selfish , pure and holy thoughts ( for short moments ), then this same life itself obtain a Divine nature, yes we feel this on certain occasions.

Sakaropasanam is like Nirakaropasanam only; this slokam points this for development in spirituality. There are few vedantins who do not aware of (dislike/ hate)  Avatarasangalpams. They are barking on shadows. Upasana whether it is Sagunam or Nirgunam, if the Upasaka is honest and sincere, leads him to Supreme Truth.

A special mention is here about ‘Parama padham’, “It is a state, where there is no rebirth”. Earlier In Vedic sciences this state is called as ‘Amaratvam’ ( No Death ). Later that has changed into ‘Ajam’ ( No Birth ). This change in expression shows the ‘the development in intelligence in that period of time’.  A society in which the people are immature, fears about death. But when they attain mature mind, they begin to fear not death, but a rebirth. Why, because, it will be a restart to a new beginning to a life of sufferings.

Death is for the one who takes birth, hence when it is said no death means no birth only. The Sanskrit word ‘Ajam’ indicates the progress in our mental maturity.

“This ‘MOKASHA-MARGHAM’IS NOT USED FOR PRESENT NECESSITY BY LORD SRIKRISHNA, BUT ALREADY EXISTING FROM ANCIENT DAYS.”

Note :-    
UPASANA = (UPA + ASANA) =(NEAR/ CLOSER + FIRM)= Keep closer and firm towards the Lord)
1.       Service,  2. Nursing, 3. Divine/ True love, 4. Meditation, all is Upasanas.
2.       Upasana  what for/ why? : To uplift mind, to develop intelligence.
3.       Moksham : Moha-Kshayam = defeat/decay of moham/desire.
4.       Saguna  Aradhana = very close to the Lord.

The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavadgita : Ch-9. Part-8.

9: The Unity of the Lover and the Beloved : Part-8. The distressed souls seeking God are of one type. One who is baked in the fire of samsaram,who is tortured in this hell of earth, suffering through various sorrows, seeks riddance from the grief of the world by resort to God under the impression that God is like a parent—a father or a mother or a supreme saviour. The intention behind this devotion is redress—freedom from sorrow, the inability to bear suffering. This is the reason here behind the devotion to God. Whether this could be an adequate reason, anyone can contemplate independently for oneself. Can we love God merely because He is the only source of redemption from our sorrows? Do we want freedom from sorrow, or do we want God? That is a different question that will come up later on. Swami Krishnananda To be continued  ....

The Relevance of the Bhagavadgita to Humanity The First Six Chapters of the Bhagavadgita:  Chapter 4: Stories from the Aranya Parva - 1. ================================================================================== The Aranya Parva of the Mahabharata is a very vast book. It is the largest book, next to the Shanti Parva, out of the eighteen books of the Mahabharata.

It is one of the most interesting treatises, filled with stories of wondrous, miraculous occurrences and the possibilities, secrets, and profundities of creation. No human being will believe some of the things stated there. They will say that this is not possible, but everything is possible in this crea...
