BHAGAVAD GITA. Ch.5. Sloka 24

 

Bhagavad Gita 5.24 states that a yogi who finds happiness, joy, and enlightenment within themselves—rather than in external, material objects—becomes one with the Supreme and attains liberation (Brahma-nirvāṇa). This verse highlights the path of internal introspection and self-realization to achieve spiritual perfection. 

 

Verse (Sanskrit):

योऽन्तःसुखोऽन्तरारामस्तथान्तर्ज्योतिरेव यः ।
स योगी ब्रह्मनिर्वाणं ब्रह्मभूतोऽधिगच्छति ॥ २४ ॥

 

Meaning:

The one whose fulfillment is in oneself, the one who revels in oneself,

The one whose mind is awake to oneself,

*That wise person alone whose self is Brahman gain the freedom, which is Brahman*. 

 

THE ONE WHO HAS THIS KNOWLEDGE REVELS IN ONESELF!

In the previous verse, Krishna talked about the karma-yogi, sukhi, the happy, cheerful person. 

We have three beautiful words to describe the wise person, one who has the knowledge of atma being Brahman,

 -antah-sukhah,

-antar-aramah and -antar-jyotih. 

The antah-sukha is one for whom fulfillment is in oneself alone.

The self that is sat-cit-ananda-atma that is Brahman.

Generally, people look to situations for their happiness, which is why they have problems. 

The one who is fulfilled is one for whom fulfillment is centered on the knowledge of ‘I’. That ‘I’ is fulfillment in itself. It is fullness;

THE ONE WHO IS ANTAH-SUKHA, ANTAR-ARAMA AND ANTAR-JYOTI BEING ONE WHOSE SELF IS BRAHMAN, BRAHMA-BHUTA, GAINS MOKSA, FREEDOM FROM A SENSE OF LIMITATION AND BONDAGE. THE PERSON IS BRAHMAN.

And who is this person?

From verse 22 of this chapter5 onwards, Lord Krishna has started summing up his description of a sannyasi as a person who is sarva-karma-sannyasi, the one who renounces different forms of action, not literally, but by knowledge. 

Such a person is called brahma-bhuta in the present verse, whose atma is Brahman free from doership and enjoyship. The person gains brahma-nirvana, which is moksa. 

Be blissful.

SETTING SPIRITUAL PATH THROUGH BHAKTHI, LOVE

 

What makes the otherwise arduous spiritual path enjoyable and sweet?  

 

"To realize the Brahman through continuous meditation on Brahman is not an enjoyable path for all to take. This was why spiritual teachers like Ramanuja favoured the path of devotion. They experienced themselves the bliss flowing from love of God and propagated the love-principle as the easiest means to experience the Divine. There have been teachers who have emphasized the Karma Marga (the path of Action), the Jnana Marga (the path of knowledge), and the different types of yoga or other means to realize the Divine. But the common under-current that flows through all of them is the path of Bhakti - the path of Divine Love. This is accepted by all of them. Love must expand from the individual to the whole universe. Love is God. The universe is permeated by God. To see God in everything, to love everything as a manifestation of God and to offer everything to God as an offering of Love - this is the way of Love!

 

Winning love through love is the vital aspect of devotion. God is Love, Live in Love.

 

Be blissful’

What is Lipid Profile?

 

A famous doctor explained Lipid Profile very beautifully and shared a beautiful story that explains it in a unique way.

 

Imagine our body is a small town. The biggest troublemaker in this town is - *Cholesterol*.

 

He also has some companions. His main partner in crime is - *Triglyceride*

 

Their job is to roam the streets, create chaos and block the roads.

 

The *Heart* is the city center of this town. All roads lead to the heart.

 

When these troublemakers start increasing, you can imagine what happens. They try to block the work of the heart.

 

But our body-town also has a police force deployed - *HDL*

 

The good cop catches these troublemakers and puts them in jail *(Liver)*.

 

Then the liver removes them from the body - through our drainage system.

 

But there is a bad cop who craves power - *LDL*.

 

LDL takes these criminals out of prison and puts them back on the streets.

 

If the good cop *HDL* goes down, the whole city will be in chaos.

 

Who would want to live in such a city?

 

Do you want to reduce these criminals and increase the number of good cops?

Keno Upanishads

 

केन उपनिषद् | Keno Upanishads Sloka.

यच्चक्षुषा न पश्यति 

येन चक्षूंषि पश्यति ।

तदेव ब्रह्म त्वं विद्धि 

नेदं यदिदमुपासते ॥ 7 ॥

 

That which eyes cannot see, but that by which, the eyes can see, know that alone to be Brahman, (the आत्मतत्त्वं) not this which people worship here.

 

जिसे आँखें नहीं देख सकतीं, परन्तु जिसकी शक्ति से आँखें देखने में समर्थ होती हैं – उसी को तू ब्रह्म जान। यह नहीं, जिसकी लोग उपासना करते हैं।

 

अन्वयः

----------

यत् चक्षुषा न पश्यति, येन चक्षूंषि पश्यति, तत् एव ब्रह्म त्वं विद्धि, न इदम् यत् इदम् उपासते।

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MY LIFE?

 

We have the dilemma of choice. Whether to gain Scriptural knowledge or remain ignorant, throughout our Life.

 

Bhagavad Gita helps us to find Peace and Bliss wherever we are. 

 

IGNORANCE (அறியாமை). 

 

Ignorance leads to wrong identification of things and beings. 

Due to ignorance we are all deluded of the Self; because we don't know what is Self.

 

நான் காண்பது எல்லாம் வேறு ஏதோ மாதிரி தெரிகிறது. தப்பாக புரிகிறது. அது எல்லாம் என்னுடைய அறியாமை (அஞ்ஞானம்) என புரிந்து கொண்டேன். 

 

Wrong identification leads to Binding. Binding is called Bandam,  अद्यासम्, Relationship.

Binding relationship leads to Samsara problem.

 

I have to Free myself from Samsara problem and attain Moksha or Liberation; which means I have to free myself from the cycle of Births and Deaths.

 

We can see that Agnanam (ignorance) +  அத்யாயம் (relationship) results in Samsara.

 

Samsara means

Punarabhi jananam punarabhi maranam (you will be borne again and again).

 

The sooner we know this the better for all of us.

 

Let's get out of our ignorance and try to find the purpose of our Life. 

 

Be blissful.

GURU VANDANAM

 

Guru Vandanam to all my Teachers. 

 

Happy Teachers day!!! 

Thank U all for making me what I am today.

 

Teachers are our inspiration and we have to contemplate and learn more and more in the days to come.

 

Sanskrit (Devanagari):

 

आचार्यात् पादमादत्ते पादं शिष्यः स्वमेधया ।

पादं सब्रह्मचारिभ्यः पादं कालक्रमेण च ॥

 

The phrase "आचार्यात् पादमादत्ते" (Acharyat padamadatte) refers to a Sanskrit sloka from the Mahabharata that states a student receives knowledge from four sources: one-fourth from the teacher (आचार्यात् पादमादत्ते), one-fourth from their own intelligence (पादं शिष्य स्वमेधया), one-fourth from fellow students (सब्रह्मचारिभ्यः पादं), and the final one-fourth from the passage of time (पादं कालक्रमेण च). 

 

Be blissful.
