Bhagavat Gita
Ch : IV
Ending Action in Knowledge
(Jnana - Karma - Sanyas Yoga)

Krishna said:

10 Freed of lust, fear and rage
Merged in meditation on me.
Lots with wisdom penance,
Purifies mind and reach me.

11 The way one appeal me
So do I appease them.
Men do tread my path
Allover alike Oh Partha !

   Krishna said that he takes birth to protect the society and it's good citizens. Men doing good is favourite to God. The men doing evils never do God any favour. Man who is free from lust, fear and greed can synchronise himself with the supreme. One who appeases the supreme with adorable work will be rewarded with favour. Thus men all over the world do try to adapt in life and become favourites to God.

     Oh Lord, we see mercyless men doing atrocities. They are surely controlled by evil forces. Oh God, you are the most merciful. We adore you and can never be merciless. Bless us to serve thee with love. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220331

Ending Action in Knowledge
(Jnana - Karma - Sanyas Yoga)

Krishna said:

8 To protect the holy souls and
To destroy the evil and unholy -
And to establish righteousness
I will incarnate here age by age.

9 He who knows that I take
Holy birth for divine duty
When died will not return
But he reach me oh Partha.

Krishna continues, I take birth with a mission. To protect the holy men as well as to punish the evil and unholy. My incarnations will be continued age by age as needed. Those who know ji that I take divine birth will be liberated by my grace. 

   Peace and harmony follow the divine. Death and sorrow follow evil. Harmony and love leads by divine. So we pray to Lord to bless us to follow peace and harmony. Hare Krishna

Bhagavat Gita
Ch : IV
Ending Action in Knowledge
(Jnana - Karma - Sanyas Yoga)

Krishna said:

6 Though I am the god for beings
And the self birth-less deathless
Yet ruling over my own nature;
I incarnate with my self illusion.

7 When; when, the mankind on earth
Becomes wretched oh Bharatha.
Then - then I will manifest myself
To liberate men from evil clutch.

    Krishna said: Arjuna, I am the eternal being present in all beings. God the birthless and deathless. I control my own nature and take birth by my Maya, the illusion. Whenever the law and order of the world is destroyed, and good people begin to suffer, then I incarnate to restore Dharma in the society.

    Today let us pray, Oh God, let there be law and order,  peace and harmony to the people. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220329

Bhagavat Gita
Ch : IV
Ending Action in Knowledge
(Jnana - Karma - Sanyas Yoga)

4 Arjuna said:
Later was thy birth and
Sun is ancient thee says
So, how I convince myself
Thee taught all this ancient.

5 The Blessed Lord said:
You and me have passed
Many a lives oh Arjuna !
Though I know them all
You know not oh Foe - foiler.

     As Krishna said that he taught this wisdom to Manu and so on to more, Arjuna questioned it ? Krishna, you are present now in front of me and you say that I have taught Manu who passed years ago. How can I believe this ? Krishna says; both of us have passed many lives, that I remember. But you don't know, Arjuna.

   Oh Lord of all knowledge, share thy eternal knowledge with us. 

Hare Krishnam

Bhagavat Gita
Ch : IV
Ending Action in Knowledge
(Jnana - Karma - Sanyas Yoga)

Krishna said:

3 Great secret, this ancient Yoga
Now itself I shall initiate you,
Because you devotes me and
You are my dearest friend.

This wisdom is a great secret. However, as it has become extinct, I shall teach you this. Interestingly you are my friend and you have devotionally implore me this knowledge. 

Let us pray Lord, to give eternal knowledge. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220327

Bhagavat Gita
Ch : IV
Ending Action in Knowledge
(Jnana - Karma - Sanyas Yoga)

1 The Blessed Lord said:
This imperishable Yoga
I taught it first the Sun.
Sun taught it Manu, and,
Manu initiated Ikshwaku.

2 Thus in succession by generations
Great many saints studied this.
But as great long ages passed
Yoga faded to extinct oh Foemar.

   Krishna says: oh Arjuna, first I taught this Gita to Sun. Sun taught it Manu and Manu passed it to Ikshwaku and so on. Thus this great teaching was studied by great saints and people. However, with the passage of a long time, the handing over of the knowledge stopped. Now Gita knowledge is extinct. God's incarnation is for saving knowledge.

   Preservation of knowledge is very important. Oh God, give us knowledge and power to spread it. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220326

Bhagavad Gita

Chapter 3: (Karma Yoga)

Krishna said:

45
Thus realizing the superior wisdom
Restraining the self by thyself
Slay foe - lust oh Mighty armed
For foe - lust is hard to be conquered.
Thus Shrimad Bhagavat Githopanishad’s
The supreme doctrine, the Science of Yoga
As Shrikrishna - Arjuna dialogue
Karma yoga the III rd Chapter.

   Krishna concludes the dialogue on Karma yoga. Partha, you realise your real enemy, it's your own lust. So, restrain your senses though it is hard to be conquered. Act with wisdom and knowledge. It is the path to liberation. Thus revealing the supreme wisdom Krishna ends the dialogue on Karma yoga.

 

   Let us pray to God, this time to give us the wisdom and knowledge to become good Karma Yogis. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220325

Bhagavad Gita

Ch 3 Karma yoga

43 Therefore Oh Bharatha!
Control thy senses first.
Thus axe off the cause of sins
The destroyer of development.

44 Senses are superior to body
Mind is superior to senses,
Wisdom is superior to mind
Yet, most superior is the soul.

      Krishna said: lust and envy are the real foes for a wise man. Therefore man must first control his senses. Thus one can cut off the cause of all evils that may happen. In support of the words, Krishna reveals a supreme fact. Senses are superior to the body, while the mind that controls senses is superior. But wisdom and knowledge direct the mind. However all these body, mind, wisdom all depend on the Soul. Thus most superior is the soul.

    Oh Lord of all souls, bless us for a worthy life. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220324

Bhagavad Gita

Ch 3 Karma yoga

40 Like the smoke covers the fire
And the dust covers the glass or
Like womb en-covers the embryo
Likewise lust covers the wisdom.

41 Ever it is an enemy for the wise
For wisdom is covered by that lust
Kawntheya in the form of desire;
Like fire, it can never be appeased.

42 The sense mind and intellect
Are said to be seats of lust,
It deludes the embodied
By eclipsing his wisdom.

     Krishna said: It is the Rajoguna that misguides you, through lust and anger. Lust comes in the form of desires and like fire, it can not be satisfied. The wise should remember it and avoid lust and anger for ever. Lust make its seats in your mind, senses and intelligence.  Block the wisdom by delusion and make you do all evils against your wishes.  As the lust covers the wisdom very effectively and conningly, it is difficult to realise it. 

    Oh God, we surrender to you with our minds. Protect us from evils and delusion. Hare Krishna 

Bhagavad Gita 220323

38 Arjuna said:
But what do compels men all over
To commit sin though unwilling.
Engaged as if he is forced to do
Even against his will oh Varshneya!

39 The Blessed Lord said:
Unquenched is this lust and rage
Originated from the Rajogunas
So, terrible sins are caused by it
Hence treat them as thy real foes.

Krishna said, doing own duty is Karma yoga. A yogi should not shoulder other's work, it is sin. Now Arjuna wanted to know why man committ sin against his will.  Krishna reply: the lust and rage of men is not satisfied or controlled properly. These mistakes are happening due to excessive Rajoguna. Terrible sin are caused due to Rajoguna. Therefore one must treat the Rajoguna as an enemy.

Oh God, protect us from the devil's grip and lead us to divinity. Hare Krishna.

Bhagavad Gita 220321

Ch. 3 KARMA YOGA

Krishna said:

37 Greater is the death if it is

Happened while doing own duty.

Terrible is the death if it is

Happened on discharging else’s duty.

    Krishna said that one's own duty is alwaysmk better than to do other's duty. Even if you can do other people's work with skill, it is not justified. Further Krishna says: if you meet death while delivering your own duty, it is blessed. But death on shouldering another's duty is terrific - it gives you hell.

   So let us pray to God to guide us in our actions. May great action and achievements happen. Hare Krishna

Krishna said:

33

But those who carp my teachings

And do not practice it either

Know such fools doom for ever

Loosing chance to wake his self.

34 Even the wise himself do

Like wise his instinct says

All beings follows nature

What else can a restraint do.

    Krishna said: Whoever practises my teaching, will be liberated. Those who do against it will ever remain a fool. For losing the chance to liberate the self, he will doom forever. 

We pray you God, bless us with knowledge and liberate us.

Chapter 3: (Karma Yoga)

Krishna said:

35 Man made for senses
Sway by love and lust
Don’t surrender to senses
For they are thy real foes.

36 Greater is own duty which
Though he think its unworthy.
Than the duty of another
Even if it is well discharged.

     Krishna says:  Men who are sense centered, they are moving with love and lust. Therefore don't surrender to senses. Remember that the senses are the real cause of obstruction for development. Even if you do not recognise, Your duty is really great. Shouldering the duty of another is not appreciated even if it is discharged well. 

Today's prayer is Oh God, make us good Karma Yogis, free from bondages and lust.

Hare Krishna

31 Renouncing all actions in me
With mind centered on own self
With no ego or desire on earth
Sorrow free thee do thy fight.

32 Men practicing my teaching
Devotionally and regularly
With faith and envy-less; they,
Are liberated from all actions.

      Krishna said: Oh Arjuna, renounce all your actions. Offer all your actions to me. Then you will become free from ego and desires, thus sorrow free you fight. This my teaching, whoever practises it daily; devotionally and faithfully, will be liberated from all actions.

     Let us pray- Oh Lord, bless our actions and liberate us.

Bhagavad Gita

Chapter 3: (Karma Yoga)

Krishna said:

29 But who know oh Mighty armed
Divisions of actions and objects
And sense organs work for senses
Thus knowing act unattached.

30This deluded in the grip of nature acts
Attached to actions per ego or instincts
For such unsettled Hippocratic foolish men
The wise should not try to reform them.

    Krishna says: Oh Arjuna, the sense organs act according to the taste of the man. So you act unattached. However the deluded act with attachment, ego and instinct. Such Hippocrates can't be corrected. So the wise should not try to improve them.

    Oh Lord, save us from arrogance. Give us wisdom and knowledge.    Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220309

Bhagavad Gita

Chapter 3: (Karma Yoga)

Krishna said:

27 Agitate not the mind of those
Ignorant with attachment to action.
Let the wise restraint too devote
To engage all and self to work.

28 Nature makes all to do
Work always by instinct.
I am the doer but he thinks
The ego deluded man a fool.

    Krishna says: Oh Arjuna, do not try to change an ignorant man, who does act with attachment in action. The wise must engage self and others in action.  It is evident that all do act with natural instinct. However, men under delusion think that they do act at their own will.

    Let us pray to make our actions to be God's grace and blessings. 

Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220308

Bhagavad Gita

Chapter 3: (Karma Yoga)

Krishna said:

25 If I do not function, then
World surely will perish
Then I will be the author
Of intercaste and anarchy.

26 The ignorant act oh Bharatha
With attachment to action, while;
The wise acts unattached
Wishing all world the good.

    Krishna says: Though no duty binds me, I do actions without any hesitation. Otherwise, the world will begin to go easy and all systems and anarchy will happen. Then I will be responsible for it. Oh Arjuna, ignorant people act attached to action, while the wise do act unattached and for the welfare of the world. 

    Let us do according to the Lord. Oh Lord, bless us to do actions selfless. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220306

Bhagavad Gita

Chapter 3: (Karma Yoga)

Krishna said:

23 No duty binds me ever over
In all three worlds oh Partha!
Nothing left but all achieved
Yet myself engage in action.
24 If I do no action thus
Without any relaxation;
My way they will follow
Men allover oh Partha.

     Krishna says, look at me, I am free from any obligations. I have everything, I achieved everything. Yet I do engage in action, because; if I don't do anything, men will follow me and remain idle and thus the world will perish. So do your duty Partha; for Protection of men depends on you. 

     Oh Lord, may our actions be thy worship. Bless our actions to be beneficial for all. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220305

Chapter 3: (Karma Yoga)

Krishna said:

21 Janka such others attained

Perfection through actions

Atleast in view of protection

For thy masses thee perform.

22 What the honored have done

That the others will follow.

What standard he had set

World follows to scale on it.

     Janaka the great king was such a famous king who was looking upon as a perfect personality. The world is looking back for a reference to go forward. Once a mark is set, people try to improve over it. So, Krishna asked Arjuna to fight, so that he accomplish his Dharma.

     Oh Lord, guide us in the path of action. Bless us with knowledge and ability to act in the path of perfection. Hare Krishna

19 He is uninterested in
That done or left over.
He depends on no being
For gaining any objects.

20 Hence do thy duty unattached
There by thee reach the supreme.

      The one who is sin free and united with the supreme is uninterested in any action. He is not interested in accomplishing any thing. He never depend on anyone or have any wrested interest. He thus reach the supreme.

Oh God, bless us to stay in union with your divine grace and presence.

 Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220303

Bhagavad Gita

Chapter 3: (Karma Yoga)

Krishna said:

17 He who does not follow
The wheel thus set in run
Live enjoying lust in vain
His life is sinful, Oh Partha!

18 Man who rejoices in the self
Is satisfied with in the self
Such man content in self alone
Has nothing more to do here.

     Food- Rain- Sacrifice- Action- Brahman makes a circle. Whoever defy this circle of evolution ordained by Brahman; he is living in sin. Whoever act according to the circle, content in the self and rejoice with in, is a man of action. He has nothing more to do here.

    Oh Lord, bless us to obey the circle set by Brahman. Bless us by sublimation of our action bondage and liberate us. 

Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220302

Bhagavad Gita

Chapter 3: (Karma Yoga)

Krishna said:

15 Beings emerge from food
Food arise from the rain.
Rain emerge from sacrifice,
And sacrifice is born action.

16 Action comes from Brahman
Form imperishable is Brahman.
Hence all pervading Brahman
Exists ever in all sacrifices.

      All living beings are born and live out of food. Whereas food is made from rain. The rain originated from sacrifice. And sacrifice is action itself. Originator of action is all pervading Brahman. So, Brahman is ever present in sacrifice. 

Let us pray to God, Oh Lord, make our actions selfless sacrifice to you. 

IkkHare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220301

Bhagavad Gita

Chapter 3: (Karma Yoga)

Krishna said:

13 The righteous are fed on
Remnants of the sacrifice.
As it equals divine nectar,
Eaters of it is freed of sins.
14 But the sin-full cook food
For his own sake only and
Without sharing it with Gods
Verily eat but sin only.

    The good people do live on remnant of sacrifice. It is divine nectar. It free us from sin. The sinful cook food for  own belly. Without sharing it with God's, they are eating sin only. Become the giver of food is God, and offer it to God thankfully, remember God before eating.

    Oh God, we will always remember you, will do all our actions as your service. Whatever food we get, we offer you first and eat as the remnant- Prasad. We beseech thy blessings. Hare Krishna.
