Thoughts on The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 6: Verse 40 - Verse 47)

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we discuss the 6th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically verses 40 - 47. Sri Krishna begins his answers to Arjuna’s questions and says any action that benefits one and all will never be degraded in this life or the next. Sri Krishna gives hope yet a warning too that one will be born in a family of spiritual practitioners but it is both rare and very difficult to be born in a house that is conducive to spiritual freedom. Sri Krishna guides on why union with Awareness, dropping all notions of loss and gain, one becomes a perfected yogi and Arjuna should strive only for the Highest, nothing less. Sri Krishna talks about how one should keep going as they work on their spiritual goal of enlightenment. The mind will be controlled and material tendencies removed, whilst they attain liberation. This is not an overnight success but one over many lifetimes. Sri Krishna guides us to have this ecstatic and loving devotion towards Nirguna Brahman and to connect our Awareness deeply within our own self and remain in this loving relationship forever.Translation used: The Bhagavad Gita Comes Alive: A Radical Translation by Jeffrey ArmstrongIf you enjoyed listening to the 52nd episode of the Thoughts on The Bhagavad Gita and want to listen to more episodes like this on the Bhagavad Gita, or on Non-Duality, or the wisdom of the Mystics please follow/subscribe to this Podcast.
