Gita Acharan ·

2024/12/01

ਸ੍ਰੀ ਕਿਸ਼ਨ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਜੋ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਗਿਆਨ ਦੀ ਪੱਕੀ ਸਮਝ ਰੱਖਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਭਰਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਹੀਂ ਪੈਂਦੇ, ਉਹ ਨਾ ਤਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਚੰਗੀ ਚੀਜ਼ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਕੇ ਖੁਸ਼ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਨਾ ਹੀ ਕਿਸੇ ਦੁੱਖਦਾਈ ਅਨੁਭਵ ਕਾਰਨ ਦੁਖੀ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਉਹ ਸ਼ਖਸ਼ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਥਿਤ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਨ (5.20)। ਅਸੀਂ ਪਰਿਸਥਿਤੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸੁੱਖ ਅਤੇ ਦੁੱਖ ਦੇ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਚਿੰਨ੍ਹਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਾਂ। ਸਾਨੂੰ ਜ਼ਰੂਰੀ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਜਿਹੇ ਵਰਗੀਕਰਨ ਨੂੰ ਛੱਡਣਾ ਹੈ। ਸ੍ਰੀ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ ਵਾਰ-ਵਾਰ ਅਰਜਨ ਨੂੰ ਮੋਹ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਬਾਹਰ ਨਿਕਲਣ ਲਈ ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ ਜਿਹੜਾ ਕਿ ਇਸ ਭਰਮ ਵਿੱਚੋਂ ਪੈਦਾ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਕੀ ਸਾਡਾ ਹੈ ਤੇ ਕੀ ਸਾਡਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ। ਸਾਡਾ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਡਾ

243. Gunas are behind divisions

Gita Acharan ·

2024/11/28

Krishna says, "I have created four varnas (divisions) based on differentiation of gunas and karmas, but know Me to be the non-doer and immutable (4.13). Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras perform karmas according to the gunas springing from their nature" (18.41). Firstly, our divisive mind builds hierarchies around us. Secondly, falsehood is nothing but a manipulated truth. Together, a falsehood was built that the divisions are based on birth and are hierarchical. But, the simple truth is

242. All are influenced by gunas

Gita Acharan ·

2024/11/21

Krishna explained about the three gunas or characteristics of nature viz. Satva, Rajo and Tamo on various occasions in the Bhagavad Gita. He declares that no living being on earth or the higher celestial abodes of this material realm is free from the influence of these three gunas (18.40). This implies that at any given point of time we are under the influence of one guna or another. Krishna cautioned (3.27-3.29) that karmas (actions) in all situations are performed by the gunas; one who is

विज्ञान के अनुसार ‘हिग्स क्षेत्र’ एक अदृश्य ऊर्जा क्षेत्र है जो संपूर्ण ब्रह्माण्ड में व्याप्त है। इस क्षेत्र के साथ अंतःक्रिया से उप-परमाणविक कणों को वजन मिलता है। इन उप-परमाणविक कणों का संयोजन ही हमारे चारों ओर दिखने वाला पदार्थ हैं। जबकि उप-परमाणविक कणों को वजन पाने के लिए ‘हिग्स क्षेत्र’ की आवश्यकता होती है, ‘हिग्स क्षेत्र’ को अपने अस्तित्व के लिए किसी की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है। उपरोक्त वैज्ञानिक प्रतिमान हमें समझने में मदद करेगा जब श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं, "मेरे अव्यक्त रूप से सारा जगत व्याप्त है,

241. Contours of Happiness

Gita Acharan ·

2024/11/18

During our lives, we regularly go through polarities of happiness (sukh) and sadness (dukh). Krishna explained that when senses meet sense objects, polarities of sukh-dukh are generated (2.14). Praise gives us happiness and criticism makes us sad even though it is just a phenomenon of meeting of words with the ears. Life is a continuous interaction of senses and sense objects implying that polarities of sukh and dukh are an unavoidable feature for us. While mentioning that happiness is of three

After explaining the threefold nature of karta and karma, Krishna explains that buddhi (intellect) and dhruti (fortitude or courage) are also threefold as per gunas (18.29). He says, "The intellect is said to be satvik when it understands what is desireful action and renunciation, what is duty and what is not, fear and fearless, bondage and liberation (18.30). The intellect is considered to be rajasic when it is confused between dharma (righteousness) and adharma (unrighteousness), and cannot

99. కర్మను కాదు ద్వేషాన్ని త్యజించాలి

Gita Acharan ·

2024/11/14

అజ్ఞానం వల్ల మనము ఆస్తులను, సంపదలను కూడబెట్టుకునే ప్రయత్నంలో ఉంటాము. తద్వారా కర్మబంధాలను పోగు చేసుకుంటూ ఉంటాము. అవగాహన యొక్క మొదటి కిరణం ప్రసరించాక పరిత్యాగం గురించి ఆలోచించటం మొదలు పెడతాము. 'దేన్ని త్యజించాలి?' అనే విషయం మీద మనకు స్పష్టత ఉండదు. మన మనస్సుకు ఆయా పనులను మంచివి, చెడ్డవి అని నిరంతరము విభజించే లక్షణం ఉన్న కారణంగా మనం అవాంఛిత కర్మలను వదిలివేయడానికి సిద్ధమవుతాము. మరొకవైపు శ్రీకృష్ణుడు పరిత్యాగాన్ని గురించి విభిన్నమైన దృక్పథాన్ని అందిస్తూ, “ఎవరినీ ద్వేషింపని, దేనిని కాంక్షింపని కర్మయోగిని

When we (knower) see a flower (object of knowledge) we take in its colour, smell (knowledge) etc. This situation induces an action. A poet would write poetry describing the flower's beauty. The poet is the doer who uses a pen as an instrument and writing poetry is the action. Similarly, a devotee plucks the flower to present to his deity; a lover would pluck it to present to their lover; a biologist would proceed to examine its nature. In this regard Krishna says, "Knowledge, the object of

Pervaded by purity, being intelligent (methavi) he is free from doubts (sansaya-rahit)" (18.10). We are all motivated to perform kushala karmas (actions) and avoid akusala ones. We tend to do karmas which are for the well-being of the self, family, organization or society. Though this looks logical, it is the result of
