Chapter 4<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 4 verse 39<\/a><\/p>\n agyaS chASradhdhadhAnaS cha samSayAthmA vinaSyathi |<\/em> agya: cha – one who is devoid of knowledge about self (which is acquired by instructions from the learned) One who is devoid of knowledge about self (which is acquired by instructions from the learned), one who is not interested (in the means that improves such knowledge) and one who is doubtful (even after hearing the instructions) will be finished; for the doubtful person there is no benefit in this world; there is no benefit of mOksham (liberation) in the other higher world also and no happiness in the matters of AthmA.<\/p>\n ‘The ignorant, non-earnest, skeptic-minded, perishes. To the skeptic-minded, this world is not, nor the other, nor happiness.’<\/span><\/p>\n A-j\u00f1a\u1e25<\/em> or ignorant: is he who is uninstructed in wisdom.<\/span><\/p>\n A-\u015braddha-dh\u0101na\u1e25<\/em> or the non-earnest: is he who lacks faith or fervour, even after instruction.<\/span><\/p>\n The skeptic: is he who doubts the knowledge he has received.<\/span><\/p>\n The man of this disposition perishes. That is, that to the man who doubts the true nature of \u0101tma, which is taught him, there is neither this material world, nor the other (svarga etc).<\/span><\/p>\n That is to say, he forfeits all the fruits of man\u2019s ambition; dharma<\/em>, artha<\/em> and k\u0101ma<\/em>[1. See commentary of verse 31<\/a>. Dharma and Artha are S\u0101dhanas<\/em> (means); K\u0101ma<\/em> and Moksha<\/em> are S\u0101dhyas<\/em>(ends or goals).]. while so, whence<\/a> moksha<\/em>?<\/span><\/p>\n For, all the ambitions of man are gratifiable by carrying out some one or the other of \u015a\u0101stra-enjoined duties. And fulfilment of any desire is dependent on the conviction of an \u0101tma existing distinct from the body.<\/span><\/p>\n Whoso doubts therefore the very existence of \u0101tma cannot share in the smallest fraction of (spiritual) bliss.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 4 verse 41<\/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 39 SlOkam \u2013 Original agyaS chASradhdhadhAnaS cha samSayAthmA vinaSyathi | nAya\u1e41 lOkO\u2019sthi na parO na sukham samSayAthmana: || word-by-word meaning agya: cha – one who is devoid of knowledge about self (which is acquired by instructions from the learned) … 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-2304","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\/2304","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=2304"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2304\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12204,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2304\/revisions\/12204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2304"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2304"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2304"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
