Chapter 2<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 2 verse 52<\/a><\/p>\n SruthiviprathipannA thE yadhA sthAsyathi niSchalA |<\/em> Sruthi viprathipannA – knowing well after having heard from me Knowing well after having heard from me, when your unshakable intelligence becomes very firm, you will attain Athma sAkshAthkAram (self realisation) at that time.<\/p>\n ‘When your reason (or will), enlightened by your hearing us, can unshakably be rested in your mind, then shall you attain to “yoga”[1. This verse is aphoristic of all the Yoga philosophy. See Introduction.].’<\/span><\/p>\n \u015aruti<\/em>=\u015aravanam<\/em>=hearing. From your hearing (or instruction) from us, your 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 shall you 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\u00a0<\/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\u0101rth a[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>).
