Oh dhritharAshtra who is descendant in bharatha clan! Towards the grieving arjuna who is standing in between the two armies, krishNa with a smile, spoke these words. Sa\u00f1jaya continued:<\/span><\/p>\n Bh\u0101rata[1. Dh\u1e5bitar\u0101shtra.]! With a smile did H\u1e5bish\u012bke\u015ba regard him (Arjuna), who thus stood sad between the two armies; and He spoke to him these words:<\/span><\/p>\n Beholding Arjuna overwhelmed with grief at not knowing the distinction between the true nature of body (matter) and soul (\u0101tm\u0101<\/em>), and yet discoursing in a fashion that one, with a knowledge of soul existing as apart from body, would adopt, – a position of conflicting views for Arjuna -; beholding him, suddenly languishing into inactivity when both the armies were ready to engage in war, Paramapurusha lectured to him smilingly, commencing from verse:<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018Never at all was, that I was not, etc;\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n and ending with,<\/span><\/p>\n \u2018I shall deliver thee from all sins, etc;\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n embodying the three-fold doctrines of Karma-Yoga[5. Yoga<\/em> here means method, path or means. ‘Karma-Yoga<\/em>‘ is thus ‘the method of Works’ or doing deeds of virtue as inculcated in Scriptural and other ethical codes.], J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga[6. ‘J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga<\/em>‘ is ‘the Method of Knowledge.’], and Bhakti-Yoga[7. ‘Bhakti-Yoga<\/em>‘ is ‘the Method of Loving Devotion.’ By these Methods one is to know<\/em> (1) his Soul, (2) know<\/em> his God, and (3) find<\/em> them. I use the word ‘find’ so that it might suit the moksha<\/em>-idea of any of the three Schools, Dvaita, Advaita or Vi\u015bisht\u0101dvaita. Throughout my translation, I retain the original expressions Karma-Yoga<\/em>, J\u00f1\u0101na-Yoga<\/em>, and Bhakti-Yoga<\/em>, as far as possible, the convenience of which will be evident.], which are the Means for acquiring the true knowledge of \u0100tm\u0101 (soul) Param\u0101tma[10. Supreme Spirit, the Unexcelled or the Peerless Spirit] (Supreme Soul = God), and for attaining them.<\/span><\/p>\n Smilingly<\/em> means, that Krishna discoursed on these most abstruse subjects of philosophy and religion as if it were but a pleasant recreation.<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 2 verse 11<\/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 2 << Chapter 2 verse 9 SlOkam \u2013 Original tham uvAcha hrishIkeSa: prahasanniva bhAratha | sEnayOrubhayOr madhyE sIthamAnamidham vacha: || word-by-word meaning bhAratha – Oh dhritharAshtra who is a descendant in bharatha clan! hrishIkESa: – krishNa prahasan iva – with a smile ubhayO: sEnayO: … 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":[12,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-972","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-2","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/972","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=972"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/972\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=972"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=972"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=972"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
