(True Renunciation)

Krishna said:

22 The joy born of contacts have
Starting and end Oh Kawntheya!
It brings up pain only hence
The wise do not rejoice in them.

23Impulse born of lust or envy
Before released from own body
Who control it by strong will
That Yogi be the happiest man.

    Krishna says that happiness that happened on by sensual contact, have a starting and hence they have an ending. Such happiness ultimately leads to pain. So the wise do not enjoy it. The man who restrain the feelings emerging from lust and envy; controls it before releasing it from the body; he is the real Yogi. He will be the happiest man, he will never be unhappy.

    Let us also control our lust, envy and such negative thoughts through restrain. Then we all will be happy and then world will become wonderfully lovely.

Hare Krishna

Nor dejected on an unpleasant thing.
Such steady minded un-deluded
Brahma knower rest in Brahma.

21 Outer contacts are un-minded
Finding happiness with in self
By Yoga, mind united in Brahma
Thus endless happiness he attains.

     Krishna says: Once you attain wisdom, you have to continue to restrain yourself. Do not rejoice in pleasures nor deject in unpleasant matters. Then you will become a Yogi, with controlled mind, resting in Brahman forever. Such a Yogi finds happiness within. When your mind is united with Brahman with Yoga, you will attain endless happiness.

Krishna said:

16 18 Good, learned and humble see
Brahmana, cow or an elephant same.
Same a dog or an outcaste the same
And he treat them also as equal.

19 Whose mind rest in equality
Here itself they conquer world.
Faultless indeed equals Brahma
Hence they establish in Brahma.

   Krishna said: a wise learned man never descriminate. He treats a Brahmana, cow or an elephant as equal living beings. So is a dog and a Chandala to him. Krishna says who ever is established in equality, he conquered the world itself. The true and faultless equal Brahman and hence they establish themselves in Brahman. 

  So let us be true social beings without descrimination. Love and treat all beings equal. Let there be peace. Hare Krishna

Krishna said:

16 Whence ignorance is destroyed
By knowledge in their self
Like sun lightens all by itself
Knowledge may reveal the eternal.

17 Those knowing it and merged in it
Those established and pondered on it
They go whence there is no return
As knowledge wash off their sins.

    Krishna says: When your ignorance is destroyed, then awakens the knowledge. The knowledge will reveal the eternal, like it is in the sun shine. Those who are established in that eternal knowledge and meditate on it, their sin will be washed off . Therefore there is no return for them as rebirth. They are liberated forever from the swing and transit of life and death. 

    Oh Lord, bless us with knowledge and liberate us. Hare Krishna

Krishna said:

14 Neither worker nor any work
Nor attachment to action fruit
Lord created for this world, but;
Its nature that makes all work.

15 Neither takes anyone’s sin
Nor the merits takes the God.
Deluded are beings because, their;
Knowledge is covered by ignorance.

   Krishna says: God has not created action, actor, nor any attachments to action. It is our own wants due to selfishness that brings unwanted action.   God never created sin also he never takes credit of anybody's meritorious action. People allege due to delusion for owning the credit.

   Oh God, we pray thee to save us from ignorance and craves for credit. Let us be full of love and appreciate meritorious people.

(True Renunciation)

Krishna said:

12 Well poised neglect action’s fruit
Hence establish in peace eternal.
Un-poised, impelled with all desires
For fruit of action he is bound.

13 Renounce all actions by mind
For restraint gain peace eternal.
In body - the nine gated city - stays
The self - it neither acts nor activate.

    Krishna says, the people who have desires he will be bound for fruits of action. While the self restraint neglect the fruits of action and hence he establish in eternal peace. Therefore Krishna says us to renounce all actions mentally, the restrained gain eternal peace. Human body is like a nine gated city. Where action and senses are the gates. However the self neither act nor do persuade for action. It's the craves that make us do action.

   Let us be with our soul, free and desireles. Let us be established in eternal peace abided in Yoga.

(True Renunciation)

Krishna said:

10 Offering all actions to Brahma
Doing always things unattached
He is never taint by any sins
Like a lotus leaf do in water.

11 Merely by mind and intellect
Also by body and by senses
Yogis carry out their actions -
Unattached; to holy themselves.

     Krishna says: like a lotus leaf in water, the water do not wet it's leaf surface. Thus who do actions as offering to Brahman, his action do not taint him. Therefore a Yogi do action merely by mind, intellect, body and sense with out involvement and attachment. The action is done to purify himself. 

    So like a Yogi let us do our actions to holy ourselves. May our actions benifit all but never to harm any being.

Hare Krishna

Krishna said:

8 The truth learned Yogi thinks
That he do nothing though he
See and hear, touch and smell
Eat and walk, sleep and breath -

9 Speak and wink, seize and purge,
But convince himself that these
Actions happens by itself since
Organs too do their instinct duty.

     Krishna says: one who knows the truth, that Yogi know that when he see, hear, touch, smell, eat, walk, sleep, breath, speak, wink, hold and purge etc- he knows that these activities are the duty of the concerned organs being done by the body. Thus he escape the author of the action. 

Oh Lord bless us with Yoga and wisdom.

Self conquered and self restrained
See in all beings and in own self
The self as acting, but not tainted.

     Continuing the dialogue on Karma and Sanyasa Yoga, Krishna says, the pious men who practice this Yogas, restrain and conquer the lust. Thus this self disciplined sees the supreme in all beings equal. So he can act taintless.

     Let us take an oath to act taintless. May God bless our actions.

5 Jnanis reach that place and
Yogins also reach the same
That seen by Kama or Sankya;
Same who see he really sees.

6 To achieve sanyasa Oh Jishnu;
With out meditation is very hard
The steady meditated sage only
Can reach easily goal Brahma.

   Krishna says: Karma Yogis and Jnana Yogis both reach the same supreme bliss. As the ultimate truth is the same, the Jana Yogi and the Karma Yogi can't see differently. To establish Sanyasa meditation is the tool. Krishna says, Steadily meditating Yogi easily reaches the supreme goal, the Brahman.

   Oh Lord, let our supreme goal be Brahman. Give us Brahma Jnana.

Chapter 5: Karma Sanyasa Yoga

(True Renunciation)

Know, a real saint do no
Desire, hate or any harm.
Diverseless Oh Mighty armed
Easily he will free bondage.

Childish speak of Jnana Yoga
But not by the realised one.
Even if established in one
He’ll get fruits of both Yogas.

  Krishna says, how a saint must be. A saint does not have any wrested desire, does not hate nor does he do any harm to others. Being desireles he is free from action- bondages. Foolish People speak on Jnana Yoga without knowing that, but the wise will not. Because he knows that even if you establish one yoga, we get the fruits of both - Karna and Sanyasa yogas.

   It's the sincere prayers that make us eligible for blessings. So let us pray to the Lord, bless us with knowledge and divine Yoga. Hare Krishna

Chapter 5: Karma Sanyasa Yoga

(True Renunciation)

Arjuna said:
Sanyasa and Karmayoga
Oh Krishna you praise again.
Say which of it is the best
I pray thee to ensure me.

The Blessed Lord said:
Sanyasa Yoga and Karma Yoga
Both leads to the highest bliss.
But in Karma - Sanyasa Yogas,
I deem; Karma Yoga is the best.

As Krishna said on Karma and Sanyasa the two types of Yogas, then Arjuna asks Krishna which one is the best Yoga that I have to follow. Answering Arjuna, Krishna says: both the Yogas lead us to the highest achievement of bliss. However Karma yoga is the best. The reasons for this will follow.

    Today let us pray to God to bless us to be excellent Karma Yogis. 

Hare Krishna

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

Krishna said:

42 Hence cut off the doubt that is
Born of Ignorance in your mind
With strong sword of knowledge;
And arise Bharatha; abided in Yoga.

Thus Shrimat Bhagavat Gitopanishat
The supreme doctrine of Yoga Science
As Srikrishna - Arjuna dialogue
Jnanakarmasanyasa Yoga named Fourth Chapter.

   In conclusion of the dialogue on knowledge, Krishna said that the cause of all evils is ignorance. Ignorance brings doubt in our mind. Krishna tells us to cut off doubt with a strong  weapon - knowledge. For this we have to take the help of Yoga, control of mind. Be unattached and do service to the world. Manava seve is Madhava seva .

Thus the dialogue on Jnanakarmasanyasa Yoga is completed. With wisdom relinquishing all actions in God, get liberated, enjoy the action without involvement.

     Today our pledge is to oppose orthodox hatred teachings. God is love and compassion only.

 Hare Krishna 

Bhagavad Gita 220418

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

Krishna said:

40 The ignorant, the faithless and
The devoteless goes to destruction.
Neither this world nor the other
Nor gayness gets a doubting soul.

41 If actions pledged to Yoga and
Doubts cleared by knowledge
Such self poised will never be
Bound by actions oh Dhananjaya.

     Krishna says: people who are ignorant, who don't trust in God and the devoteless will go to destruction.  Such people do not win this world. They also fail to win the next world and life. The key to win this world itself is to gain wisdom. We gain wisdom with Yoga, clear doubt by knowledge. When we are free from doubt, our actions are not binding and we become liberated.

   Let our have a pledge to spread this knowledge of liberation– Gita to all. To make a society of clear vision with peace and prosperity.

Hare Krishna

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

Krishna said:

38 Nothing like knowledge
Exists certainly pure.
It reveals itself in time
To the one perfect in Yoga.
39 Whose senses are subdued and
Who devotes; get the knowledge.
Thus having attained knowledge
Soon he merges in supreme peace.

Krishna says: continuation on knowledge, Krishna ensure Arjuna that knowledge is the purest thing. Those who search it will find it in appropriate time by itself. However it is revealed only to the one perfect in yoga. Further one has to control his senses and will have devotion. The result of attaining knowledge is that he merge in supreme peace.

     God bless us with supreme knowledge and bliss. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220415

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

Krishna said:

36 Though thee be the sinner most
In the sea of worst sinners;
Yet by the raft of knowledge
You can cross wide sea of sins.

37 Partha, like a blazing fire
Reduce the whole fuel to ash
So do fire of knowledge too
Destroy thy action bondages.

   Last time Krishna explained about the study of sacrifices. He said that there are divine men and devilish men. The divine are blessed and the devilish are Haunted men. The devilish do evils destruction. The divine do good work. In continuation Krishna said: even if you be the most fouling sinner; but if you board the boat of knowledge; you can cross the sea of sins. Knowledge is like a fire; it reduces all sins into nothing alongwith the action bondage.

   Oh Lord, the demons has not been destroyed. Because of the Haunted men preaching and teaching wrong things (Extremism). So we pray thee to give knowledge and lead all of us to right direction. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220414

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

Krishna said:

34 Know that by long prostration
Enquiry and by humble service
The wise who have seen the truth
Will initiate thee to true knowledge.

35 Knowing that you will not get
Deluded like this again Partha
Since you shall see all beings
Here in thyself and same in me.

    After explaining different types of sacrifices, Krishna says the way to achieve this knowledge. It is through becoming a disciple to a learner and knowledgeable person. However the wisdom being highly spiritual and involving special powers, it should be advised to good selected  people only. There are Blessed men and Haunted men. They have extraordinary powers. Men are Haunted by spirits for three things (kill, love, revenge) as per astrology.  The Blessed men reform and help people. Haunted man will do killings, rape and torture. Arjuna is blessed, even Prophets were there against Krishna and Arjuna.  So become a disciple of a wise person, so that you will not be deluded. 

     Oh God, we pray to thee to protect us from evils. Bless us with knowledge and wisdom. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220413

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

Krishna said:

32 Thus several types of sacrifices
Has come into the Brahma’s mouth.
Know they all are born of action
Knowing thus you will be liberated.
33 Greater is the knowledge sacrifice
Than sacrifice with objects oh Partha !
All actions as a whole oh Partha
Do culminate in knowledge only.

     Krishna continues : thus several types of sacrifices has been offered into the mouth of Brahman. Know that these sacrifices are born from actions. Knowledge of these sacrifices will liberate us. Among the sacrifices, sacrifice with knowledge is superior to sacrifice with objects. Because actions are totally formed from knowledge.

     So let us pray to God, to bless us with knowledge and do divine actions. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220412

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

Krishna said:

30 Others with well regulated food or
Life air offered in life air only.
All these performers of sacrifices
Their sins are severed by sacrifice.
31 The sacrifice remnant or nectar eaters
Reach eternal world of the Brahma.
Non – sacrifice-er get not even this world
How then the offer - oh Best of the Kurus.

Krishna continues on sacrifice.  There are many types of sacrifices so far said. Again, some regulate their food and do sacrifice. Some offer their life air in lifeair itself and these sacrifices remove all his sin.  The remnant of sacrifice is equal to nectar. By eating the remnant of sacrifice, he gets freed from sin and he reaches Brahman. Therefore the sacrificer gain the world of excellence, while the non doer of sacrifice never gain anything even in this world. 

So let us pray… oh God, liberate us, bless us with knowledge and divine services. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220411

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

Krishna said:

28 Some offers wealth as sacrifice, when;
By austerity or Yoga by some others.
Study of scriptures or study of the self
Is the sacrifice of the sages rigid vowed.

29 Out going breath or incoming breath
And some other offers both the breaths
Thus controlling the course of breaths
Absorbed solely in restraint breathing.

    Continuing on sacrifice Krishna said: Some offer wealth as the oblations, some other offer steadfast austerity the Yoga and others with study of Vedas or spiritual texts as offering to Brahman. They are known as sages who have rigid vows. Some do sacrifice offering the incoming breath or outgoing breath, called pranayam. Some activate the Eda - Moon Nadi and some the Pingala - Sun Nadi. Some people prefer controlling both the breaths and attain blissful stage through Sushmna- the middle Nadi.

    Oh God bless us with knowledge in sacrifice. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220409

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

Krishna said:

26 Some offers hearing such senses
As sacrifice in the fire of restraint
some offers sound and such objects
as sacrifice in the fire of senses.
27 Some offers bodily senses in action
While functions of breath yet another
Self restraint in the fire of Yoga and
Some sacrifice in the fire of knowledge.

     Krishna continues on sacrifice…  Some people are offering their senses like hearing as sacrifices in the fire of restraint. Whereas some offer sound as oblations where the fire is senses. Some make bodily senses as offering in action fire. Another one does sacrifice with his breath, yoga and fire of knowledge. All are sacrifices and ultimately leads to Brahman.

   God bless us with wisdom, knowledge and divine action.

Bhagavad Gita 220408

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

Krishna said:

24 Brahma the oblation, Brahma the butter
Brahma the fire and Brahma the fuel
Brahma if seen in all acts
Brahma only thee will reach.
25 Some Yogis do the sacrifice
To please only some devas
Some sacrifice in Brahma - fire
Some other offers soul itself.

     Krishna was explaining about action, continuing on action, its attitude he says. If you do action as oblations to Brahman ultimately you reach the supreme Brahman. People sacrifice in many different ways. Some do sacrifice to please Dummy God's. Some offer sacrifice to Brahman while some do offer actions in the soul itself. Many more types of sacrifices will come.

     The Doer of sacrifice reaches supreme Brahman. God bless our actions to be sacrifices. Purify our actions and mind. Give us wisdom and liberate us. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220407

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

Krishna said:

22 Content in that gained by chance
Doubtless and envyless too.
Success, failure uniminded;
He can act on unbinded.

23 Those unattached and liberated
And who established in knowledge
And act for the sake of sacrifice
Their actions are also dissolved.

    Krishna explained how you can do action untrained. For that one should act unattached, content and envyless. He should not mind success as well as failure. Acting unattached and through wisdom you can be liberated. Once liberated, you are freed from action bondage. Similarly by doing actions as sacrifices you will be liberated and freed from action bondage. 

Oh Lord, liberate us. Bless us with knowledge. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220406

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

Krishna said:

20 Leaving desire for action’s fruit
That who act free and content
Though engage ever in actions but
Uncounted his actions are unbinding.

21 Desireless and self controlled
Passions totally abandoned
Bodily actions simply done
Thus he incurs little sin.

     Krishna said: Arjuna, leave desire for the fruits of action. However you engage in action continuously. Then your actions will  be free from sin. The cause of sin is selfishness and ego. So be free from desire and passion. Do actions simply by body thus avoiding sin.

  Oh God, bless us to have devotion to thee and attain enlightenment.

Bhagavad Gita 220405

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

Krishna said:

18 He who finds inaction, in action;
And see action too in inaction
That wise among men is true
Yogi - performer of true action.
19 He who initiates action that
Are devoid of desires or want.
The wise call him a sage as his
Actions are pureed in wisdom fire.

Krishna said about action, inaction and its complications. Further he says that who see inaction in action and at the same time action in inaction is true Yogi. He says that one should not feel efforts in action but feel restlessness in inaction is true performer of true action. The one starts an action with out personal benifit but for others benifit is a real Yogi. He is the sage who have sublimed his actions in the fire of wisdom. 

So let us also wish to become Yogis. Oh Lord bless us to become Yogis. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220404

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

Krishna said:

16 Is it action or inaction
Even the wise get confused
So I shall teach you action,
Knowledge which will liberate thee.

17 To distinguish the right actions
One should know those forbidden.
Know that for inaction
Imponderable is the path.

Krishna explaining actions says that even great saints are not able to distinguish between action and inaction.

Even the wice can not clear this action and inaction matter. Krishna says to distinguish it we must know the forbidden actions. But for inaction the path is spontaneous natural instinct, with firm God awareness.

   Oh God, bless us to have such constant awareness.

Bhagavad Gita 220403

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

Krishna said:

14 No action do taint me
Nor I long for any wage.
He who know me thus
Is not bound by duty.
15 The liberated ancient saints
Though knowing this did work.
Thus you too perform thy duty
As early as thy ancients did.

    Krishna continues: as I told you, that every man acts with own natural instinct, every man differs from one another. However, no action affects me nor I wish for any wage for action. Thus who realise and follow me relinquishing wage for action will not be bound by action. The ancient sages acted like this and they were liberated. Therefore following them, you too perform your duty unattached. Do perform your art in war.

   Oh God, we bless us to do divine actions as thy service. Hare Krishna

Bhagavad Gita 220402

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

Krishna said:

12 Longing only for action’s fruit
Men here worship so many gods.
Men via action achieve quick
Objects in this world so ease.

13 I have found the four fold caste
Differentiating the grade of work
Though author I am there of yet
Know, I am non-doer, everlasting.

    Krishna said: For achieving excellence, some men adopt shortcuts. Action is the quick way to achieve any object. God's blessing is quicker and an achievement. So men take the help of dummy God's and flourish quickly. It is the wrong way. Therefore devote me and get liberated. mankind is distinguished by four different types as per their nature. Though I made this system, I am not the author of it. Each man develop own authority as per nature. Know me, I am an eternal being. Know me, follow me and get liberated.

   Oh God, we will not depend upon dummy God's. Bless us to serve thee in proper ways, lead us to liberation.

Hare Krishna
