Bhagwad Gita - Post 61


Chapter 5 (contd…)


Verse 16      
       
Jnaanena tu tad ajnaanam
Yeshaam naashitam aatmanah;
Teshaam aadityavaj jnaanam
Prakaashayati tatparam.
       
But, to those whose ignorance is destroyed by knowledge of the Self, like the sun, knowledge reveals the Supreme (Brahman).           
               
Verse 17      
       
Tadbuddhayas tadaatmaanas
Tannishthaas tatparaayanaah;
Gacchantyapunaraavrittim
Jnaana nirdhoota kalmashaah.
       
Their intellect absorbed in That, their self being That; established in That, with That as their supreme goal, they go whence there is no return, their sins dispelled by knowledge.              
               
Verse 18      
       
Vidyaavinaya sampanne
Braahmane gavi hastini;
Shuni chaiva shvapaake
Cha panditaah samadarshinah.
               
Sages look with an equal eye on a Brahmin endowed with learning and humility, on a        cow, on an elephant, and even on a dog and an outcaste.          
               
Verse 19
               
Ihaiva tairjitah sargo yeshaam
Saamye sthitam manah;
Nirdosham hi samam brahma
Tasmaad brahmani te sthitaah.

Even here (in this world) birth (everything) is overcome by those whose minds rest in equality; Brahman is spotless indeed and equal; therefore, they are established in Brahman.               
               
Verse 20     
       
Na prahrishyet priyam praapya
Nodwijet praapya chaapriyam;
Sthirabuddhir asammoodho
Brahmavid brahmani sthitah.
       
Resting in Brahman, with steady intellect, undeluded, the knower of Brahman neither rejoiceth on obtaining what is pleasant nor grieveth on obtaining what is unpleasant.              
               
Verse 21
               
Baahyasparsheshwasaktaatmaa
Vindatyaatmani yat sukham;
Sa brahma yoga yuktaatmaa
Sukham akshayam ashnute.
               
With the self-unattached to the external contacts he discovers happiness in the Self; with the self-engaged in the meditation of Brahman he attains to the endless happiness.       
               
Verse 22     
       
Ye hi samsparshajaa bhogaa
Duhkhayonaya eva te;
Aadyantavantah kaunteya
Na teshu ramate budhah.
               
The enjoyments that are born of contacts are generators of pain only, for they have a beginning and an end, O Arjuna! The wise do not rejoice in them.             
               
Verse 23     
       
Shaknoteehaiva yah sodhum
Praak shareera vimokshanaat;
Kaamakrodhodbhavam vegam
Sa yuktah sa sukhee narah.
       
He who is able, while still here in this world to withstand, before the liberation from the body, the impulse born of desire and anger—he is a Yogi, he is a happy man.             
               
Verse 24
               
Yo’ntah sukho’ntaraaraamas
Tathaantarjyotir eva yah;
Sa yogee brahma nirvaanam Brahmabhooto’dhigacchati.
       
He who is ever happy within, who rejoices within, who is illumined within, such a Yogi attains absolute freedom or Moksha, himself becoming Brahman.           
               
Verse 25
               
Labhante brahma nirvaanam
Rishayah ksheenakalmashaah;
Cchinnadwaidhaa yataatmaanah
Sarvabhootahite rataah.

The sages obtain absolute freedom or Moksha—they whose sins have been destroyed, whose dualities (perception of dualities or experience of the pairs of opposites) are torn asunder, who are self-controlled, and intent on the welfare of all beings.        
               
Verse 26
               
Kaamakrodhaviyuktaanaam
Yateenaam yatachetasaam;
Abhito brahma nirvaanam
Vartate viditaatmanaam.
       
Absolute freedom (or Brahmic bliss) exists on all sides for those self-controlled ascetics who are free from desire and anger, who have controlled their thoughts and who have realised the Self.          
               
Verse 27
               
Sparsaan kritwaa bahir
Baahyaamschakshus chaivaantare bhruvoh;
Praanaapaanau samau kritwaa
Naasaabhyantara chaarinau.

Shutting out (all) external contacts and fixing the gaze between the eyebrows, equalizing the outgoing and incoming breaths moving within the nostrils,              
               
Verse 28
               
Yatendriya manobuddhir
Munir mokshaparaayanah;
Vigatecchaabhaya krodho
Yah sadaa mukta eva sah.
               
With the senses, the mind and the intellect always controlled, having liberation as his supreme goal, free from desire, fear and anger—the sage is verily liberated forever.             
               
Verse 29
               
Bhoktaaram yajnatapasaam
Sarvaloka maheshwaram;
Suhridam sarvabhootaanaam
Jnaatwaa maam shaantim ricchati.
       
He who knows Me as the enjoyer of sacrifices and austerities, the great Lord of all the worlds and the friend of all beings, attains to peace.            
               
Hari Om Tat Sat          
               
Iti Srimad Bhagavadgeetaasoopanishatsu Brahmavidyaayaam Yogashaastre
Sri Krishnaarjunasamvaade
Karmasanyaasayogo Naama Panchamo’dhyaayah

Thus in the Upanishads of the glorious Bhagavad Gita, the science of the Eternal, the scripture of Yoga, the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna ends the fifth discourse.

Love.
