Chapter 2<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 2 verse 52<\/a><\/p>\n Simple<\/a><\/p>\n \u015bruti-vipratipann\u0101 te ‘When thy reason (or will), enlightened by thy hearing (us), can unshakably be rested in thy mind, then shalt thou attain to “yoga”[1. This verse is aphoristic of all the Yoga philosophy. See Introduction.].’<\/span><\/p>\n \u015aruti<\/em>=\u015aravanam<\/em>=hearing. From thy hearing (or instruction) from us, thy reason is greatly cultured, i.e., it begins to reflect on the peerless, eternal and exceedingly subtle category (the \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>). When this reason, intelligence or wisdom, which by nature is steadfast and uniform, can firmly be planted in the mind, – made pure by the practice of unselfish work, – then shalt thou achieve \u2018yoga\u2019 or \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>-illumination<\/span><\/p>\n The purport, so far, is this: That practice of works (Karma-yoga<\/em>)[2. Yoga<\/em> here means method, path or means. ‘Karma-Yoga<\/em>‘ is thus ‘the method of Works’ or doing deeds of virtue as inculcated in Scriptural and other ethical codes.], preceded by a knowledge of \u0101tm\u0101<\/em> as gathered from \u015a\u0101stra[7. \u015a\u0101stra means laws, learning, and therefore spiritual laws or science embodied in the Vedas or S\u1e5butis, etc.], develops a certain illumination or consciousness called \u2018sthita-praj\u00f1at\u0101<\/em>[8. This term is explained in the following verses. Vide: my ‘Inspiration’ Part II: (Ritambhar\u0101 praj\u00f1\u0101).]\u2019. And this \u2018sthita-praj\u00f1at\u0101<\/em>\u2019 or the sustained effort of consciousness will result in \u2018yoga\u2019 i.e., \u0100tm\u0101<\/em>-illumination or \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>-consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n So lectured, P\u0101rtha[9. A name of Arjuna; Epithet of Arjuna, being a descendant of P\u1e5bithu-Chakravarti.] asks to be enlightened as to the nature of this \u2018sthita-praj\u00f1at\u0101<\/em>\u2019 – culture of concentrated will (or will-power) – conducive to \u2018yoga\u2019 or \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>-cognition; \u2018sthita-praj\u00f1at\u0101,\u2019 achievable by Karma-Yoga[10. Yoga<\/em> here means method, path or means. ‘Karma-Yoga<\/em>‘ is thus ‘the method of Works’ or doing deeds of virtue as inculcated in Scriptural and other ethical codes.] of the form of non-attachment (described in verses, ante<\/em>).
