The 58th and 554th name of (Arjuna said):\u2014 I do not comprehend thoroughly the character of the Yoga (or the doctrine of meditation, or the spiritual mode by which one is able to view kosmos as full of soul and as full of God), that you have expounded; \u2014the Yoga of Equality (or sameness, similarity, or resemblance=s\u0101mya<\/em>) of \u0101tmas, viz., the equality of Jiv\u0101tmas on the one hand viewed from the aspect of intelligence (j\u00f1\u0101na<\/em> or consciousness) being shared by them all as a common characteristic; and the equality of Jiv\u0101tmas with \u012a\u015bvara (God) on the other hand, viewed by the common attribute of exemption from work(-bondage=karma) which, emancipated souls share in common with \u012a\u015bvara; such Yoga (or spiritual mode of seeing things) of \u2018looking equally on all\u2019 (sarvatra samadar\u015bana-yoga<\/em>), being in direct conflict with the immediate evidence presented, all the while, by our actual (phenomenal<\/a>) experience of seeing differences<\/em> (not equality<\/em>) among the Jiv\u0101tmas on the one hand, consisting in the existence of a variety of natures as represented by the divine, the human etc., natures; and again the actual evidence of seeing differences<\/em> (not equality<\/em>) between j\u012bvas (individual souls) and \u012a\u015bvara (Universal Soul=God).<\/span><\/p>\n Not to be able to realize the view of things that, the Yoga You have taught would determine, can only be accounted for by the fugitive<\/a> character of the mind failing to grasp it. So it is, indeed. For, even in matters of ordinary experience, the naturally fickle mind eludes the attempts of man to fix it on to a certain thing. The mind powerfully twists and tosses the man about, and irresistibly flies away whithersoever<\/a> it pleases.<\/span><\/p>\n While such is the case in matters of ordinary experience, how much more difficult would it not be to govern the mind and bend it so as to dwell on \u0101tma, \u2014a matter of in-experience!? I believe that to control the mind is as difficult a work as that of attempting to oppose a (fragile) fan against the fierce blasts of wind blowing in the face.<\/span><\/p>\n You have thus need to teach me the way how to control the mind.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 6 verse 35<\/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 6 << Chapter 6 verse 33 SlOkam \u2013 Original chanchalam hi mana: krishNa pramAthi balavadh dhrudam | thasyAham nigraham manyE vAyOr iva sudhushkaram || word-by-word meaning hi – because mana: – mind is chanchalam – (naturally) wavering balavath – strong (hence) pramAthi – bewildering … 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":[16,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-6","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2837","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=2837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2837\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
