Introduction
'SHREE MAD BHAGAVAD GEETA' is a part of MAHABHARAT. Even then it is regarded as an independent treatise consisting of 18 chapters and 700 verses. The great warrior ARJUN who had won many battles before was overwhelmed with depression when he was required to fight against his own relatives and respectable persons like his preceptor DRONACHARYA. lord SHREE KRISHNA words have since then inspired innumerable persons. practically every great man has written to explain his interpretation of SHREE MADBHAGAVADGEETA. It has been rightly called the essence of all the Vedas and Upanishads.
The present extract consists of seven verses chosen from the great book. They explain respectively -
(1) immortality of the soul,
(2) the inevitability of birth and death,
(3) the nature of KARMAYOG,
(4) the importance of spiritual knowledge,
(5) the types of devotees,
(6) what kind of devotee is dear to god and
(7) the nature of SATVIKI BIDDHUI (the faultless intellect that leads one to God.)
These seven drops of the elixir of the philosophy of life will hopefully stir your curiosity to explore the original treatise SHREE MADBHAGAVADGEETA. No other work of philosophy has such a poetic title - The song celestial.

Translation
(1) This soul is not born, nor does it die at any time. Having once been does this soul never ceases to be. this soul is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying, and primeval. This soul is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying, and primeval. this is not slain when the body is slain.
(2) The death of the one who is born is definite and the birth of the one who is dead is definite. So you should not lament in the matter that is unavoidable.
(3) You have a right only in action (Making an effort), never have you right in the fruits or results. Do not be desirous of the fruit of action. May you not be found of inaction or idleness.
(4) He who has faith attains knowledge. He whose sense organs are controlled, who is diligent (or exclusively devoted to knowledge) attains knowledge and in no time achieves the highest kind of tranquility.
(5) O AJRUN,e best among those who are born in the dynasty of BHARAT, four types of righteous workshop me:- (1) distressed, (2) having the desire for knowledge, (3) desirous of worldly objects, and (4) one who has attained knowledge.
(6) He who does not get perplexed by the people, and by whom people are not perplexed and who is free from joy, envy, fear, and sorrow in my favorite.
(7) O ARJUN, the intellect that understands inclination towards action and withdrawal from the action, what should be done and what should not be done, bondage and liberation and fear, as well as fearlessness, is the best or virtuous intellect.
Explain this Shlokas
(1) KARMANYEVADHIKARASTE ........ |
Ans. In this verse lord SHREE KRISHNA says,, "You have a right to work (but) no right to demand its results or fruit. Do not work with the expectation of the result. At the same time do not be lazy."
Man cannot live without doing something or the other. A sort of inner compulsion makes him do something or act. Very often he is prompted to undertake an activity with a view to attaining some result. but when and if the expected result does not follow, he is disappointed or unhappy. so lord says. "do not work to get the fruit." why? you should apply your mind exclusively to work that you have started. when you think of what you will get out of it. a part of your mind gets distracted. some energy is wasted in thinking about the result or fruit over which you have no control. Better to concentrate on the work at hand and not to waste mental energy in thinking about its result. this verse is perhaps the most famous and oft-quoted one because it contains the secret of KARMA YOGA.
(2) SHRADDHAVAN LABHATE ....... |
Ans. In order to get knowledge, one should have faith. secondly, one should be exclusively devoted to knowledge. Our sense organs distract us, drive us in many directions. one who desires to get knowledge should control his senses. The first line tells us the qualifications required for attaining the knowledge while the second line tells us the effect of attaining knowledge. one gets the highest kind of peace as soon as knowledge is attained. lord Krishna is speaking about knowledge of God or the realization of God. In other words, this verse is describing the evolution of a devotee from the stage of being JIGYASU to the final one of being GYANI. Controlling the outward flow of mind a devotee dedicates himself to the sole purpose of attaining realization of God, having unwavering faith. When he becomes a GYANI he is rewarded with eternal peace.
