Chapter 18<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 18 Verse 72<\/a><\/p>\n Simple<\/a><\/p>\n arjuna uv\u0101ca Arjuna now exclaimed:<\/span><\/p>\n ‘By Thy Grace, Achyuta! infatuation has left me and wisdom has been gained. I now sit with all doubts dispelled. I am settled. I will do Thy bidding.’<\/span><\/p>\n Moha<\/em> = Infatuation, illusion or folly; means the obfuscation of true knowledge (vipar\u012bta-j\u00f1\u0101na<\/em>), or perverted knowledge. By Thy Grace, this has vanished.<\/span><\/p>\n Sm\u1e5biti<\/em> = Wisdom or enlightenment concerning the true nature of spiritual verities (tatvam<\/em>). And this has been obtained by me by Thy Grace alone.<\/span><\/p>\n Moha<\/em> or Infatuation is the love of self that is misplaced in not-self, or matter. It is the conceiving of the Kosmos of Sentients (chit<\/em>) and Insentients (achit<\/em>), which constitute Paramapurusha\u2019s body \u2014whose Soul He is\u2014 as not so constituted and not so Ensouled. It (Moha<\/em>) is also the misconception of the nature of karma, nitya<\/em> and naimittika<\/em>, as if it led to bondage instead of its being the Mode of Paramapurusha\u2019s Worship and the Means of reaching Him.<\/span><\/p>\n Sm\u1e5biti<\/em> or J\u00f1\u0101na<\/em> or wisdom consists in knowing that \u0101tma is distinct from matter; is different in nature from matter; is essentially intelligent; is leige to Paramapurusha; and is solely under His direction. It also consists in knowing that Paramapurusha is the Dramatist of the Infinite Kosmos\u2019s origination, duration and dissolution; He is the Antithesis of all evil; He is essentially Blessed; He the mighty Ocean of such Illustrious Attributes as Omniscience, Omnipotence, Empire, Power, Energy, Lustre etc; Who is called Parabrahm. It also consists in knowing that Thou, V\u0101sudeva, art Paramapurusha; art He Who is knowable by the Ved\u0101ntas, Who is to be reached by Love Devotional \u2014known as Bhakti, Bhakti being culturable by the \u0101tma-qualities such as external and internal restraints (\u015bama<\/em> and \u1e0dama<\/em>), overcoming barriers in the way of discharging the nitya<\/em> and naimittika<\/em> duties solely intended as acts done to endear oneself to Paramapurusha, \u2014a Love which is developed by the possessing of the knowledge of higher and lower Truths (tatvas<\/em>)\u2014 and reducing such knowledge to daily practice.<\/span><\/p>\n Hence I am freed from doubts, and I am relieved from all the grief that perverted knowledge begets, \u2014perverted knowledge bred by wrong ideas of relationship, friendship, and pity (I was wont to entertain towards such persons as Bh\u012bshma, Duryodhana etc). But I am now freed from such doubts; I am now settled. I will immediately put into execution Thy bidding such as engaging in war etc., i.e.,<\/em> I will, without further ado, go to war at once (thus loyally and without question carrying out Thy Divine Dispensation or without allowing my Individual will to arrest the harmonious course of Thy own High Universal Will.)<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 18 Verse 74<\/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 18 << Chapter 18 Verse 72 Simple arjuna uv\u0101ca na\u1e63\u1e6do moha\u1e25 sm\u1e5btir labdh\u0101 tvat-pras\u0101d\u0101n may\u0101cyuta sthito \u2019smi gata-sandeha\u1e25 kari\u1e63ye vacana\u1e41 tava Arjuna now exclaimed: ‘By Thy Grace, Achyuta! infatuation has left me and wisdom has been gained.
