Chapter 4<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 4 verse 34<\/a><\/p>\n yath gyAthvA na punar mOham Evam yAsyasi pANdava |<\/em> yath – that knowledge Acquire that knowledge knowing which you will never again have bewilderment (such as confusing the body to be soul etc) in this manner; that knowledge which will make you see all creatures equal to AthmA (self)<\/a> and equal to me (krishNa)<\/a> also.<\/p>\n ‘Knowing which (j\u00f1\u0101na), P\u0101ndava[1. The son of P\u0101ndu=Arjuna.]! you will not again be under delusion;\u2014 that j\u00f1\u0101na, by which you will see the sum of beings in yourself, then in Me[2. See VI-30<\/a>, and \u012a\u015b\u0101. Up. 6 and 7.].’<\/span><\/p>\n (J\u00f1\u0101na is the wisdom mentioned in the last verse. The term is conveniently translated as \u2018consciousness\u2019 in some places in the following lines).<\/span><\/p>\n It is that wisdom, knowing which you will not fall again under the delusion which makes one to mistake (the forms or bodies of) deva<\/em> etc., for \u0101tma, and the notion of egotism (my-ness or selfish personal interest) which it produces therein[3. ‘I-ness’ and ‘Myness’, in other words.].<\/span><\/p>\n It is that wisdom or consciousness, by which you shall see the universe of creatures of all conceivable forms, devas<\/em> etc., as in yourself, because as between yourself and other beings, there exists equality, in that all \u0101tmas, viewed when divested of their (temporary) material environments, are one in their nature, of being conscious entities.<\/span><\/p>\n That all \u0101tmas are of one uniform (intelligent) nature, when they are dissociated from matter-union, is averred<\/a> in a future stanza viz<\/em>:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Faultless indeed is brahma<\/em> (\u0101tma), and equal\u2019 (v-19<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n You will see<\/em>…, then in Me<\/em> i.e., you will see the universe of creatures in Me, for all \u0101tma-principle is, by its nature and purity, one, i.e., the same as Mine. So says the verse:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n ‘Embracing this knowledge, they have attained to My equality’ (xiv-2<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n \u015aruti also chants thus :\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Then the enlightened man, casting off merit and demerit, becomes cleansed, and attains the highest equality[1. ‘Tad\u0101 Vidv\u0101n pu\u1e47ya-p\u0101pe vidh\u016bya nira\u00f1jana\u1e25 paramam s\u0101myam upaiti.’ (Mund: Up.<\/em> III-1-3).].\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n Stripped of name and stripped of form, the \u0101tma- essence is the same in all beings and equal with the nature of Para (Supreme=God).<\/span><\/p>\n Hence, when viewed in its dissociated condition from matter, one \u0101tma is like another, and like \u012a\u015bvara.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 4 verse 36<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 4 << Chapter 4 verse 34 SlOkam \u2013 Original yath gyAthvA na punar mOham Evam yAsyasi pANdava | yEna bhUthAnyaSEshANa dhrakshyasyAthmanyathO mayi || word-by-word meaning yath – that knowledge gyAthvA – knowing puna: – again Evam – in this manner mOham – bewilderment (such … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-4","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2260"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2260\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12254,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2260\/revisions\/12254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
