18. Bhagavad Gita I Chapter 2 Verses 48-51 I Swami Sarvapriyananda

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 48-51 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 48:
योगस्थ: कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय |
सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्यो: समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते || 48||
yoga-sthaḥ kuru karmāṇi saṅgaṁ tyaktvā dhanañjaya
siddhy-asiddhyoḥ samo bhūtvā samatvaṁ yoga uchyate
🪔Giving up attachment and established in Yoga, with evenness of mind in success and failure, perform works, O Arjuna. This evenness is Yoga.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 49:
दूरेण ह्यवरं कर्म बुद्धियोगाद्धनञ्जय |
बुद्धौ शरणमन्विच्छ कृपणा: फलहेतव: || 49||
dūreṇa hy-avaraṁ karma buddhi-yogād dhanañjaya
buddhau śharaṇam anvichchha kṛipaṇāḥ phala-hetavaḥ
🪔Work impelled by the desire for the fruit is indeed far inferior, evenness of mind being far above it. O Arjuna! Take refuge in the evenness of intelligence. Pitiful are those impelled by the desire for the fruits of works.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 50:
बुद्धियुक्तो जहातीह उभे सुकृतदुष्कृते |
तस्माद्योगाय युज्यस्व योग: कर्मसु कौशलम् || 50||
buddhi-yukto jahātīha ubhe sukṛita-duṣhkṛite
tasmād yogāya yujyasva yogaḥ karmasu kauśhalam
🪔With the intelligence of evenness one discards (in this world) both good and evil works (i.e the merits and demerits of works). Therefore strive to secure this Yoga; Yoga is skill in works.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 51:
कर्मजं बुद्धियुक्ता हि फलं त्यक्त्वा मनीषिण: |
जन्मबन्धविनिर्मुक्ता: पदं गच्छन्त्यनामयम् || 51||
karma-jaṁ buddhi-yuktā hi phalaṁ tyaktvā manīṣhiṇaḥ
janma-bandha-vinirmuktāḥ padaṁ gachchhanty-anāmayam
🪔Wise men, united with the intelligence of evenness, discard, indeed, the fruits of works; they are liberated from the bondage of birth and attain the status which is free from all sufferings.

Sangamon Tyaktya is the essence of Git, nothing beyond that, automatically result will come, mind will be happy, life will be blissful but it is very difficult to practice but by Yoga it can be achieved and ultimately liberation

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." The Gospel of Matthew 11:28-30

[crazywiener]

It was interesting when Swami talked about the dangers of the 3 yoga's. I just wondered how this this should be understood with commitment to one path that Swami talked about (using the analogy of a man digging for water in too many places)?

[ksoldestaccount]

Why are you afraid of pride, o mind? Let it come and then see it destroyed by the mighty hand of the Lord!

[pradeepgupta]
