Eleventh Chapter of Bhagavad Gita 55th Verse


Mathkarmakrunmathparamo MathBhaktha Sangarvajithaha
Nirvairaha Sarvabhudeshu Yaha Sa Mamethi Pandava

This verse is a five-point prayer to the lord. This is an important verse of Bhagavad Gita.

You start with emotional Bhakti. You put faith in a particular form of God (Artha, Ardharthi Bhakti). Krishna says, “You dedicate all your actions worldly, secular and sacred actions to me and take the results as a prasada from me” (bagawan). Then you will be able to discriminate between a chocolate and a 100-rupee note. As a child, you prefer the chocolate than a 100-rupee note.

You will realise that Bagawan alone is the greatest God of highest value. In front of Bagawan all the things and beings in the world is perishable. Bagawan is non-perishable and will become the real God.

Attachment in the worldly things should gradually come down. Gradually I should see them as of less important. Our mind grows out of finite desires and goes for the desire for God. Gradually the value for God will increase.

Why should I depend on the perishable thing? If that thinking arises God becomes the primary goal. Means and ends reverse. God is the means and world is the end before and vice versa now. Thus, devotion for God is the mail goal.     

Gradually may you develop Divine virtue, which will take you closer to God. May you gradually develop divine virtues and become Divine. Gradually avoid hating People and things. Hatred is a very big obstacle for Spiritual Goal. Our aim should be “I don’t hate anyone”.

There are moments in life that direct us to certain things. Some call it intuition, others call it fate. Currently I have been led on a path of deep spiritual curiosity. I have been blessed to encounter amazing energies and people along my way. With my Divine source, I am discovering how amazing our life on earth is and how there are limitless possibilities with the assistance of Divine help.

This is the essence of the whole teaching of the Gita. He who practises this teaching will attain Supreme Bliss and Immortality. This verse contains the summary of the entire philosophy of the Gita.

To put it short Krishna says “ He who does all actions for Me, who looks upon Me as the Supreme, who is devoted to Me, who is free from attachment, who bears enmity towards no creature, he comes to Me (He becomes one with him), O Arjuna”.
