4. Bhagavad Gita | Chapter 2 Verses 13-15 | Swami Sarvapriyananda

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 13-15 from the second chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 13:
देहिनोऽस्मिन्यथा देहे कौमारं यौवनं जरा |
तथा देहान्तरप्राप्तिर्धीरस्तत्र न मुह्यति || 13||
dehino ’smin yathā dehe kaumāraṁ yauvanaṁ jarā
tathā dehāntara-prāptir dhīras tatra na muhyati
🪔Just as the embodied Self has, in the body, childhood, youth and the old age, so does it win another body. An intelligent man is not bewildered by it.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 14:
मात्रास्पर्शास्तु कौन्तेय शीतोष्णसुखदु: खदा: |
आगमापायिनोऽनित्यास्तांस्तितिक्षस्व भारत || 14||
mātrā-sparśhās tu kaunteya śhītoṣhṇa-sukha-duḥkha-dāḥ
āgamāpāyino ’nityās tans-titikṣhasva bhārata
🪔O son of Kunti! Contacts of senses with the object cause cold and heat, pleasure and pain. These come and go - they are fleeting, O Bharata prince! Endure them.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 15:
यं हि न व्यथयन्त्येते पुरुषं पुरुषर्षभ |
समदु:खसुखं धीरं सोऽमृतत्वाय कल्पते || 15||
yaṁ hi na vyathayantyete puruṣhaṁ puruṣharṣhabha
sama-duḥkha-sukhaṁ dhīraṁ so ’mṛitatvāya kalpate
🪔O hero! The man whom these do not agitate, who is the same in pain and pleasure, and who is wise, becomes fit indeed for immortality.

As a paralyzed hermit living at 10, 000 feet in the Andes mountains of Peru, I look forward to your lectures as my only source of spiritual teaching aside from my books. It is a great blessing to have a living connection to the lineage of Sri Ramakrishna. Is there some way to be initiated remotely into this lineage for an even closer connection and commitment?

[klasgroup]

The only way to develop true patience is to realize that whatever that is happening is not happening to you, but, you are merely a witness. Simply be aware, neither accept nor reject. Soon you will stop identifying with pleasure and pain. Once the identification stops, psychological suffering stops.

I'm now 74. I had operation for colorectum cancer 4 yrs back and my digestive system is totally spoiled. I had already read and heard lectures on Gita several times. This Shloka, matrasparshasthu..and yukthahara viharasya...of Ch.6, helps me now tremendously. I wondered whether these advises are mere waste and i've t suffer. Yes. Suffering is inevitable. But ignoring, raising above and not to trouble others, is life for me.

[akshaysahu]

Patience = strength to face any kind of situation in life and keep working
Thank you, Swami ji 🙏🙏
