Chapter 18<\/a><\/p>\n << Chapter 18 Verse 72<\/a><\/p>\n arjuna uvAcha-<\/p>\n nashtO mOha: smruthirlabdhA thvath prasAdhAn mayA\u2019chyutha |<\/em> arjuna uvAcha \u2013 arjuna says<\/p>\n achyutha \u2013 Oh achyutha! Arjuna says, Oh achyutha! By your grace (my) contradictory knowledge is destroyed; true knowledge is acquired by me; being freed from doubts, I am standing firm, with realisation of truth; I will act according to your instructions (to fight the battle).<\/p>\n Arjuna now exclaimed:<\/span><\/p>\n ‘By Your Grace, Achyuta! infatuation has left me and wisdom has been gained. I now sit with all doubts dispelled. I am settled. I will do Your bidding<\/a>.’<\/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 Your 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 Your 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 You, V\u0101sudeva, are Paramapurusha; are 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<\/a>, \u2014perverted knowledge bred by wrong ideas of relationship, friendship, and pity (I was wont<\/a> 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 Your bidding<\/a> such as engaging in war etc., i.e.,<\/em> I will, without further ado<\/a>, go to war at once (thus loyally and without question carrying out Your Divine Dispensation or without allowing my Individual will to arrest the harmonious course of Your 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 SlOkam \u2013 Original arjuna uvAcha- nashtO mOha: smruthirlabdhA thvath prasAdhAn mayA\u2019chyutha | sthithO\u2019smi gathasandhEha: karishyE vachanam thava || word-by-word meaning arjuna uvAcha \u2013 arjuna says achyutha \u2013 Oh achyutha! thvath prasAdhAth \u2013 by your grace mOha: – (my) … 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":[11,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-18","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7506","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=7506"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17186,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7506\/revisions\/17186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
