And, I am the means for the bliss attained by a gyAni.<\/p>\n ‘I indeed am the Support of brahma (=soul), the eternal and infinite, and of the eternal Dharma; and of the absolute Bliss.’<\/span><\/p>\n Hi<\/em>=Indeed: inasmuch as when by unerring Bhakti-yoga I am worshipped (vide<\/em> XIV-26<\/a>), I become the Support (or Centre) for the eternal and infinite (brahma) soul.[1. This refers to kaivalya-moksha or soul-acquisition (which is found in Me the Seat).]<\/span><\/p>\n Eternal Dharma<\/em>=Exquisite eternal happiness.[2. This refers to material felicities, such as Svarga etc.]<\/span><\/p>\n Ek\u0101ntika-sukha<\/em>= Absolute unique Bliss, which is the fruit of the saint (j\u00f1\u0101ni<\/em>) who answers to the description: \u2018V\u0101sudeva is all\u2019 etc., (Gi:<\/em> VII-19).[3. This refers to Brahma-pr\u0101pti or God-acquisition.]<\/span><\/p>\n Although the expression \u2018Eternal Dharma\u2019 (the eternal laws, promulgated in the Vedas) usually implies a \u2018Means\u2019 to accomplish an \u2018End\u2019, here it means the \u2018End\u2019[4. The End, viz.,<\/em> Svarga etc., which would be gained by following the laws (rituals etc.,) laid down in the Vedas.] itself, occurring as the expression does between two other expressions which also imply \u2018Ends\u2019 (viz: brahma\u1e47o hi pratisht\u1e25\u0101<\/em> =soul-acquisition and ek\u0101ntika-sukha<\/em> = God-acquisition).<\/span><\/p>\n The purport is that as declared in the Stanza:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Verily is this, My divine m\u0101y\u0101, gu\u1e47\u0101-imbued, and hard to surmount; but those who resort to Me alone as their Refuge pass this m\u0101y\u0101\u2019 (Gi:<\/em> XII-14<\/a>), and other stanzas following it, the surmounting of the qualities first and thence<\/a> the securing of any of the goals (1) akshara<\/em> (soul-gain), (2) ai\u015bvarya<\/em> (material prosperity), (3) Bhagavat-pr\u0101pti<\/em> (joining the Blessed Lord Himself), depends upon the Only Means being employed, viz:<\/em> loving devotion to the Lord and praying Him to grant them. Thus it has now been shown that by means of Bhakti-yoga, the qualities are to be surmounted (Gi:<\/em> XIV-26<\/a>) and thence<\/a> Brahma-state is attained (Gi:<\/em> XIV-27<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n OM TAT SAT<\/span><\/p>\n Thus closes Discourse Fourteen,<\/span><\/p>\n Named, the Gu\u1e47a-traya-Vibh\u0101ga-Yoga<\/em>,<\/span><\/p>\n or<\/span><\/p>\n The Division of the Three Qualities<\/span><\/p>\n With \u015ari R\u0101m\u0101nuja\u2019s<\/em> 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<\/em>,<\/span><\/p>\n In the Theosophy (Divine knowledge) 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 15 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 14 << Chapter 14 verse 26 SlOkam \u2013 Original brahmaNO hi prathishtAham amruthasyAvyayasya cha | SASvathasya cha dharmasya sukhasyaikAnthikasya cha || word-by-word meaning hi – this is because aham – I am amruthaya – immortal avyayasya cha – imperishable brAhmaNa: – for self realisation … 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":[7,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-14","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6039","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=6039"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6039\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15886,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6039\/revisions\/15886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
