169. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 14 Verses 21-22 | Swami Sarvapriyananda

विवरण

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches verses 21-22 from the fourteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The Song of God".Chapter 14 is devoted to an understanding of the Gunatreya Vibhaga Yoga, or the three qualities/components of Maya. The entire universe is created by a projection of the three gunas - satva, rajas, and tamas. Understanding the science of the three gunas and how we can apply it to our lives is the focus of Chapter 14. However, Sri Krishna explains that while the three Gunas comprehensively describe human nature, transcending the three Gunas through knowledge and remaining steadfast in your true nature as Atman in this body, and in this life, is the doorway to infinity and leads to oneness with God.-------Chapter 14, Verse 21अर्जुन उवाच |कैर्लिङ्गैस्त्रीन्गुणानेतानतीतो भवति प्रभो |किमाचार: कथं चैतांस्त्रीन्गुणानतिवर्तते || 21||arjuna uvāchakair liṅgais trīn guṇān etān atīto bhavati prabhokim āchāraḥ kathaṁ chaitāns trīn guṇān ativartate⧫ Arjuna said, " By what characteristics, Oh Lord, is one who has transcended the three gunas known? What is his conduct? And how does he transcend these three gunas?"Chapter 14, Verse 22श्रीभगवानुवाच |प्रकाशं च प्रवृत्तिं च मोहमेव च पाण्डव |न द्वेष्टि सम्प्रवृत्तानि न निवृत्तानि काङ् क्षति || 22||śhrī-bhagavān uvāchaprakāśhaṁ cha pravṛittiṁ cha moham eva cha pāṇḍavana dveṣhṭi sampravṛittāni na nivṛittāni kāṅkṣhati⧫ The Blessed Lord said, he who does not hate when the light of knowledge, activity or delusion arise, of son of Pandu, or desires them when they cease.
