Query: How do
common man understand deep meanings of truth and light in Bhagavad
Gita?
Vijay Kumar:
The answer to your query lies within your question. When Arjuna needed
Lord Krishna to help explain fundamentals of Bhagavad Gita... how is it possible
for a commoner to know the essence of Bhagavad Gita. It is not possible. The wisdom of Bhagwad Gita was never
meant for the common man.
The wisdom of Bhagavad Gita can never be understood by reading the
scriptural text literally. To understand and analyze teachings contained in Bhagavad Gita... one has to dive
deep into the ocean of wisdom jnana the world knows as most Sacred Scripture of Hinduism... the sacred
bhagvad gita!
What in fact is Bhagavad Gita? And why would one want to read through
Bhagwad Gita.
In short, Bhagavad Gita the doctrine by Lord Krishna in the battle of
Mahabharata contains
all that is knowable in whole cosmos and particularly as a human being. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes
omniscient. One gains enlightenment and finally salvation moksha in Hinduism. The sacred Bhagwad Gita
encompasses the true meaning of life.
From the first to the last... the 700th verse, Bhagavad Gita teaches one
the true essence meaning of life. For a human being there is nothing beyond Bhagvad Gita to learn. The knower
of Bhagwad Gita becomes an enlightened being.
You may read the sacred Scriptures of Jainism, Buddhism, Bible and the
Quran. Yet, none can say with certainty that having read one obtains the end goal of life... stage of
enlightenment and finally salvation moksha. The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all and crosses
the ocean of Samsara (physical manifested life) with ease.
From the first manifestation as an amoeba to the last... the 8.4
millionth manifestation, it takes approximately 96.4 million earthly years to reach stage of enlightenment
and finally gain salvation moksha.
Every living being initially starts life as a single cell formation.
Slowly this life form evolves into a multi-cell formation, then insect life, plant life, animal life and
finally the form of a human being.
Almighty God never desired the human form to digest the wisdom of
Bhagavad Gita in one go! Even in human form we have 1.1 million distinct manifestations. This confirms that
the highest stage of manifestation... the form of a human being is achieved after passing through 7.3 million
manifestations... the maximum number of manifestations being 8.4 million.
The wisdom of Bhagavad Gita is complex yet simple. Only the most ardent of spiritual seekers dare complete their
cosmic journey within ones lifetime.
1.1 million Manifestations mean an earthly journey of about 12.1 million
earthly years. Does it mean God Almighty desired a human being to learn the cosmic wisdom of Bhagavad Gita
within a period of 12.1 million earthly years... yes it is so! What value of one life span of 70 to 80
years?
The status of a human being is truly privileged one. It is only as a
Human Being one gains enlightenment and finally salvation moksha in Hinduism. Bhagavad Gita clearly
enumerates that fixing a spiritual goal early is the ultimate crux of life. Who knows what form our soul
atman manifests next?
As a child one initially attends play school, nursery, K.G and finally class one. Slowly we gain wisdom class after
class (jnana in hinduism) and finally complete our graduation. Having graduated... does it mean the end of
learning? Never!
Life is a journey. We always keep learning. In the field of spirituality
the gist of Bhagavad Gita is not to be learnt in one go (manifestation)... one human life! We must continue
our spiritual journey step-by-step never indefinitely delaying traveling the spiritual path. It is then we
learn the cosmic wisdom contained in Bhagavad Gita.
I gained self realization in 1993. I started in search of God when 13
years of age. I had an inkling that come whatever may... I shall succeed in my search of God within present
life. I had no dearth of patience and persistence to face most adverse circumstances head-on. I was ever
ready for any sacrifice God may demand on the spiritual path.
I reached the end part of my cosmic life. This is my 8.4 millionth manifestation. I never read Bhagavad Gita in my
life. Yet, having realized God the contents of the Bhagavad Gita have become like ABC to me. It is as if I had
dictated the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna in one of my earlier manifestations.
Not alone Bhagavad Gita... the gist of every Upanishad, the sacred
Scriptures of Jainism and Buddhism and for that matter all sacred Scriptures have become like ABC to
me.
God has been very kind to me. The patience and persistence I practiced in
the initial stages of my life paid its dividends at the end.
I always advise one to travel the path of Bhagavad Gita early in life. Most people I meet in life keep the study of
Bhagwad Gita pending for the last moment. Their intentions are clear. They want to travel the spiritual path but
fear travelling the uncharted territory. Unable to leave the bondage of attachments, materialistic wants and
desires... people busy themselves fulfilling materialistic goals.
It is not surprising... the wisdom of Bhagavat Gita must never be
enforced on one. It was never meant to be. I have always withstood by the sweet small inner voice of my atman
soul residing within my heart. It has always guided me on the right path. Our atman soul is of the same
essence as God Almighty!
It is only our faith in the Almighty God which paves way for crossing
this ocean of life and death. Absolute faith in Almighty God is an essential must on the path of Spirituality. Absence of absolute faith never leads one towards enlightenment.
It is not for the skeptics to learn of Bhagwad Gita. The essence of Bhagwad Geeta is meant for one who is
logistical in approach and keeps the welfare of the community above self.
Various essays and glossary on my web sites give clues to the inner
wisdom of Bhagwad Geeta. Some essays are so potent that every reading gives a different meaning. These essays
were a direct dictation from God after I realized God in 1993.
It would not be prudent to mention that Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa had
only Swami Vivekananda who understood the teachings of Bhagvat Geeta imparted to him by Sri Ramakrishna
Paramhansa.
In a period of about hundred years... there was only one Swami
Vivekananda who understood the teachings of Bhagavat Gita. Imagine one person amongst 6 billion people living
on Mother Earth.
In the history of mankind we find very few people who have deciphered the
wisdom jnana of Bhagvat Gita from the spiritual masters of the era.
If you want (mere desire does not help) to learn the wisdom contained in
Bhagvad Geeta... you need to salvage and digest everything written by and about Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa
and Maharishi Ramana... The only two people who gained self realization in the last about 150
years.
The knower of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana becomes the knower of Bhagvad Gita.
May God Almighty bless you in understanding the wisdom of Bhagavat Gita
at the earliest!
