Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Namaskaar Sri Swee The 2nd chapter of Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence. What follows in all other chapters is the explanation. The first statment of Sri Krishna is " There is no cause for sorrow " . This is the essence of the Veda. There is no cause for sorrow implies that the sorrow that I am experiencing is imaginary. For sorrow to be imaginary, the experience itself has to be imaginary. For experience to be imaginary, the object-subject relationship has to be imaginary. For object-subject relationship to be imaginary the object has to be imagined as relationship exists on object's existence and noone can negate the existence of the subject i.e. " I " . The separation of object and I is because of the definition given to myself as a collection of thoughts and desires. The second distinction is because the object is having a separate form and name. Form and Name are imaginary as they appear so as our limit of perception (frequency of light received by eyes is different from the frequency of particles in the object). Perception is not a pramana for Knowledge (else people would drink water from mirages). Therefore, the imagined difference between object and sujbect is due to wrong understanding of oneself. Upon seeing the subject only, I have a body and a mind. The body is limited by its shape and form. Mind is limited by its thoughts. I which is conscious of both the mind and body is limited by what? I is aware of dream, deepsleep and waking. It is neither dependent on any state and nor limited. Therefore, to imagine oneself as limited and to make it an imagined cause for sorry is being attacked by Sri Krishna. Satyam Gnanam Anantam is the nature of the Self. That is I. Arjuna does not understand this statment and asks further questions and Bhagvan compassionately answers. To divide the chapters in the way they have been done is prone to errors and misjudgment about its final import.
