Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Chapter 5 Verse 19 Ih'aiva tair jitah sargo yeshhaa.n saamye sthitam manah / nirdoshham hi samam brahma tasmaad.h brahmani te sthitaah // Even in this life, birth and death are overcome by those, whose mind is established in evenness (towards all.) Brahman is even (the same in all) and free from defects and therefore they indeed rest in Brahman.” LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 50 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji “Even in this life, birth and death are overcome by those, whose mind is established in evenness (towards all.) Brahman is even (the same in all) and free from defects and therefore they indeed rest in Brahman.” Those who have made their mind steadfast on evenness look on all alike because they have realized that it is Brahman and Brahman alone that exists in all beings as the same. As such here itself (Eha Eva,) even in this life is rebirth conquered by them. Brahman is free from defects (Nirdosham.) Though it is supposed by the deluded to be defiled in tainted beings like dog-eaters, still it remains untouched by those blemishes. Again, Brahman is bereft of all qualities like desire, hunger, thirst, etc. They are qualities associated with the body and the organs. Since Brahman is consciousness, it is free from all qualities or attributes. Therefore Brahman is the same and one (Saman Brahman.) Hence they who see Brahman as identically the same in all beings are really established in Brahman Itself. As a result not even a shade of defect touches them. For they have no self-identification in the form of perceiving the aggregate of the body, mind and intellect as the Self. Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.
