One who is engaging in karma as part of worshipping me, having me as the ultimate goal for his actions, due to having exclusive devotion towards me without which he\u00a0 cannot sustain and hence engaging in actions having me as the goal, having given up other results\/benefits and who is not inimical towards any creature, attains me truly.<\/p>\n ‘Doing work for<\/em> Me, having Me<\/em> as Aim, being My<\/em> votary, weaned from attachments, and exempt, P\u0101\u1e47\u1e0dava! from hating any one, he comes unto Me.’<\/span><\/p>\n Mat-karma-k\u1e5bit<\/em>= He who does work for<\/em> Me=He who studies the Vedas and does all similar (spiritual) work, considering that it is all but several modes of worship rendered to Me.<\/span><\/p>\n Mat-parama\u1e25<\/em>= He who has Me<\/em> as his Aim = He who looks on Me<\/em> alone as his Supreme End, towards which every effort is to be directed.<\/span><\/p>\n Mad-bhakta\u1e25<\/em>=My votary or lover=He to whom I am the Sole Object of aspiration or his only Hope; he who, out of his plenitude<\/a> of love for Me, is unable to live unless he is ever engaged in hymning Me, praising Me, meditating Me, worshipping Me, prostrating to Me, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n Sanga-varjita\u1e25<\/em>=weaned from other attachments, on account of his love-attraction towards Me alone.<\/span><\/p>\n Nirvairas-sarva-bh\u016bteshu<\/em>=Hateless towards any creature. This arises from a three-fold consideration, viz:<\/span><\/p>\n Firstly; the bhakta<\/em>‘s only happiness consists in being with Me, and misery in being without Me. (Hence his concern is not with other creatures).<\/span><\/p>\n Secondly; The bhakta<\/em> attributes all his afflictions to his own guilt. (Hence he has no reason to hate others).<\/span><\/p>\n Thirdly: the bhakta<\/em> has implicit faith in all beings being subject to God\u2019s Sovereign Rule and Providence. Hence he has no cause to attribute motives of harm as independently arising from any of his creatures).<\/span><\/p>\n Hence the bhakta<\/em> is exempt from all enmity. He who possesses these qualifications comes unto Me. Coming unto Me<\/em> means realizing Me as I am in reality; i.e.<\/em>, resting in blessed enjoyment of the Divine that is devoid of the Faintest traces of anything like the defects of nescience (avidy\u0101<\/em>) etc.<\/span><\/p>\n OM TAT SAT<\/span><\/p>\n Thus closes The Eleventh Discourse,<\/span><\/p>\n Named Vi\u015bvar\u016bpa-Sandar\u015bana-Yoga<\/em>,<\/span><\/p>\n Or The Book of Kosmic Vision,<\/span><\/p>\n With \u015ari R\u0101m\u0101nuja<\/em>\u2019s Commentary thereon,<\/span><\/p>\n In the colloquy between \u015ari K\u1e5bish\u1e47a<\/em> and Arjuna<\/em>,<\/span><\/p>\n In the Science of Yoga,<\/span><\/p>\n In the Divine Wisdom of the Upanishads<\/em>,<\/span><\/p>\n Or the Chants of \u015ar\u012b Bhagav\u0101n<\/em>,<\/span><\/p>\n The Bhagavad G\u012bt\u0101<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 12 Introduction<\/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 11 << Chapter 11 verse 54 SlOkam \u2013 Original mathkarmakrun mathparamO madhbhaktha: sangavarjitha: | nirvaira: sarvabhUthEshu ya: sa: mAmEthi pANdava | word-by-word meaning pANdava! – Oh son of pANdu! math karma kruth – engaging in karma as part of worshipping me math parama: – … 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":[4,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4601","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-11","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4601","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=4601"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14945,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4601\/revisions\/14945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
