Chapter 2<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 2 verse 71<\/a><\/p>\n EshA brAhmI sthithi: pArtha nainAm prApya vimuhyathi |<\/em> hE pArtha – Oh arjuna! Oh arjuna! Being situated in detached mode of action towards achieving true knowledge of self, (by nurturing gyAna yOga) it facilitates attaining AthmA which is known as brahmam; having attained this state (of being situated in detached mode of action), one is not bewildered; being situated in this state of karma yOga even towards the end of one’s life, one attains blissful [realisation of] AthmA (self).<\/p>\n ‘This is the Br\u0101hm\u012b-state, P\u0101rtha [1. Epithet of Arjuna, being a descendant of P\u1e5bithu-Chakravarti.]! attaining which one will not be deluded. Remaining in it (state), even in old age, he will attain to Brahm-bliss.’<\/span><\/p>\n This is the state, or condition of work-performance in an unselfish or disinterested manner, based on the knowledge (or belief) of the eternal (nature of) \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>. This method has for its aim the achievement of true wisdom (sthita-dh\u012b<\/em>[2. The wisdom or sthita-praj\u00f1at\u0101<\/em>, is the superior illumination, or super-sensuous consciousness, or intuition produced by Yoga-practice; vide<\/em> my Three Lectures on “Inspiration, etc.”<\/em>. Will-concentration is ripened wisdom; this is a spiritual illumination of the mind which sets in before \u0101tm\u0101 is realised. It may be called intuition. (sthita-praj\u00f1at\u0101<\/em>) See verse II-39<\/a>.]); It is Br\u0101hm\u012b<\/em> or that which leads to Brahm. Knowing the philosophy of work to be like this, he will no more be under infatuation, meaning that he will not again enter sams\u0101ra [3. See note …] (the mirage of conditioned existence). If one adopts this method, even in his declining years, he will attain Brahma-nirv\u0101\u1e47a<\/em>, or Brahm-bliss<\/em> (final liberation), i.e., he will attain to \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>, the seat of exclusive beatitude.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus, in the Second Lecture, -to him who was ignorant of the nature of \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>, and that work like war etc., leads to \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>-attainment; -to him who laboured under the misconception that body is \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>; who, under this misconception retired from battle, -(to Arjuna), was declared the S\u0101\u1e47khya-knowledge concerning the eternal \u0101tm\u0101<\/em>, and the Yoga (or union)-producing sthita-praj\u00f1at\u0101\u00a0<\/em>[4. The wisdom or sthita-praj\u00f1at\u0101<\/em>, is the superior illumination, or super-sensuous consciousness, or intuition produced by Yoga-practice; vide<\/em> my Three Lectures on “Inspiration, etc.”<\/em>.
