Chapter 6<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 6 verse 38<\/a><\/p>\n Ethan mE samSayam krishNa chEththum arhasyaSeshatha: |<\/em> krishNa – Oh krishNa! Oh krishNa! Please clear this doubt of mine fully; none other than you is qualified to clear this doubt.<\/p>\n ‘You are fit, K\u1e5bish\u1e47a! to thoroughly clear this doubt of mine. None else, save You, have I, to cut this doubt asunder<\/a>.’<\/span><\/p>\n One may ever so enthusiastically embark on yoga, but if he lack persistent application, his mind is liable to be distracted therefrom, and he must fail to reach perfection in yoga. What will be the fate (gati<\/em>) of such a person?<\/span><\/p>\n Does he not get lost or disappear like a broken bit of cloud leaving one big mass of cloud behind, and failing to unite with another in front ?<\/span><\/p>\n What is meant by the double loss (\u2018cut off from both\u2019, see text)? The one is the non-fixture (apratish\u1e6dh\u0101<\/em>) and the other is non-enlightenment or ignorance of the Path of Brahma (brahma\u1e47a\u1e25 pathi vim\u016b\u1e0dhatva<\/em>).<\/span><\/p>\n The first loss is the failure to secure svarga[1. . Cp. Bh. G\u012b.<\/em> IX-20<\/a>–21<\/a>.], the fruit appropriate for works performed. Works (or karma) performed with that object in view, liberally promise that fruit. But works are done by this person with no such intent; and hence he forfeits the (material) fruit on the one side.<\/span><\/p>\n The second loss consists in the \u2018ignorance of the Path of Brahma.\u2019 This means that the (spiritual) Path (i.e.<\/em>, doing works with no regard to reward, and contemplating on self and God etc.,) is begun to be trodden, but the man fails to pursue in it steadily, and strays away. So he is cut off from this side.<\/span><\/p>\n When, then, one is so cut off from both ends, is he lost or not lost?<\/span><\/p>\n This doubt of mine, K\u1e5bish\u1e47a![2. The 58th and 554th name of God. Its etymology is \u2018Krishir-bh\u016b-v\u0101caka\u015b-\u015babdo \u1e47a\u015bcha nirv\u1e5biti-v\u0101cha-ka\u1e25, K\u1e5bish\u1e47astad-bh\u0101va-yog\u0101cca &c., (Bh\u0101rata, Ud. Parva.<\/em> 69-5).], You can clear. You are Omnipresent and Omniscient. You can therefore cut my doubts asunder<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 6 verse 40<\/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 38 SlOkam \u2013 Original Ethan mE samSayam krishNa chEththum arhasyaSeshatha: | thvadhanya: samSayasyAsya chEththA na hyupapadhyathE || word-by-word meaning krishNa – Oh krishNa! mE – my Ethan samSayam – this doubt aSEshatha: – fully chEththum arhasi – please clear; … 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-2881","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\/2881","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=2881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2881\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
