Ep. 155 - सरल भगवद् गीता अध्याय 17 (श्रद्धा के विभाग) श्लोक 22,28 || Bhagavad Gita Simplified Chapter 17 (Divisions of Faith) - Verses 22,28 || 01/12/2022

(Verse 22) Having covered the nature of sattvic and rajasic charity, Shri Krishna now describes tamasic charity. if a person gives charity to a suitable person without respect and without attention, that sort of charity is also said to be in the mode of darkness.  (Verse 28) Faith (Shraddha) is the keynote of success either in worldly life or in spiritual life. Without it, nothing is achieved even in small matters concerning everyday life. In spiritual life where a man tries to ascend to the highest state the need for unswerving faith is greatly emphasized. That is why the Lord insists on faith in many places and He has devoted a whole Discourse to elaborate on the theme of faith (Shraddha).  In order to firmly establish that all Vedic activities should be performed with faith, Shri Krishna now emphasizes the futility of Vedic activities done without it. He says that those who act without faith in the scriptures do not get good fruits in this life because their actions are not perfectly executed. Thus, one’s faith should not be based upon one’s own impressions of the mind and intellect. Instead, it should be based upon the infallible authority of the Vedic scriptures. This is the essence of the seventeenth chapter.  - Send in a Voice Message - https://anchor.fm/spirituallearningpodcast/message
