Chapter 5<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 5 verse 19<\/a><\/p>\n na prahrushyEth priyam prApya nOdhvijEth prApya chApriyam |<\/em> sthira budhdhi: – focussed on the eternal AthmA The one who is focussed on the eternal AthmA, who is not deluded thinking the temporary body as AthmA, (through instructions from preceptors) knowing about the pure AthmA which is known as brahmam will be fully focussed on such brahmam. Such person does not rejoice while attaining his dear (materialistic) objects\u00a0 and does not fear while attaining his unfavourable (materialistic) objects.<\/p>\n ‘He shall not exult, attaining the \u2018agreeable,\u2019 nor grieve, encountering the \u2018disagreeable\u2019. The steady-willed, undeluded, brahma<\/em>-knower, remains in brahma<\/em> itself.’<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Agreeable\u2019 and \u2018disagreeable\u2019 things happen according to the body in which one may dwell, and according to the past karma-instincts. (These are accidents of embodied existence).<\/span><\/p>\n He who would scale the heights of wisdom, shall not evince joy or sorrow, when the \u2018agreeables (priyam<\/em>) or the \u2018disagreeables\u2019 (apriyam<\/em>) may happen, (respectively).<\/span><\/p>\n How is this possible? It is, if he is: sthira-buddhi\u1e25<\/em>= steady-willed, or he who plants his will in the stable (sthira<\/em>) \u0101tma. If he is: a-samm\u016bdhah<\/em>. I.e, moha<\/em> is the delusion or the confounding the stable \u0101tma with the unstable body. Asamm\u016bdha\u1e25<\/em> is he who is free from such delusion. How is he to be this? If he is brahma<\/em>-learned (brahma-vit<\/em>) and brahma<\/em>-stationed (brahma\u1e47i sthita\u1e25<\/em>). That is, by learning or knowing what brahma (\u0101tma) is, from instruction, and to remain steadily practicing in brahma<\/em> (i.e., constant spiritual culture).<\/span><\/p>\n The tenor of the verse is this:\u2014<\/span><\/p>\n From instruction received from truth-seers (i.e.<\/em>, spiritual preceptors), one shall learn the exact nature of \u0101tma (brahma-vit<\/em>). He shall then practice the same. He shall then abjure the \u0101tma-love which he places in the body, and employ himself in blissful contemplation of the would-be eternal \u0101tma-intercourse. And then he shall neither rejoice over \u2018agreeables\u2019 nor tremble against \u2018disagreeables\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 5 verse 21<\/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 5 << Chapter 5 verse 19 SlOkam \u2013 Original na prahrushyEth priyam prApya nOdhvijEth prApya chApriyam | sthirabudhdhir asammUdO brahmavith brahmaNi sthitha: || word-by-word meaning sthira budhdhi: – focussed on the eternal AthmA asammUda: – not deluded thinking the temporary body as AthmA brahmavith … 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":[15,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-5","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2442","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=2442"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2442\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12128,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2442\/revisions\/12128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
