Gita-Saar Chapter 8
(Ishwar Putra Arun)
In Gita-Saar, chapter 8 of the Gita, Lord Krishna talks about the indestructible Brahm and this chapter focuses on the intricacies of Brahma Yoga. Lord Krishna has also explains that the time of death of an individual, is a time of great spiritual opportunity and He advises Arjuna on how to take full advantage of this time instead of taking this as a time of great sorrow. Lord says to Arjuna that the person who is thinking of God at the time of his death, that person’s soul is sure to reach God’s soul. The reason is that all materials-which are transitory in nature, that make up this universe are all based in the being of God, who is himself eternal. Those people who desire material objects will end up in the cycle of birth & death chasing those objects but if a soul desires the divine, then that noble soul would end up at the root cause of all creation and thus escape the cycle of birth and death.
Lord Krishna states that He is the source point of all journeys and the first seed of all creation, Lord Krishna states that He is the wisdom of the wise; and the effulgence of the effulgent souls. That He, is the source of the strength of the attachment-free strong person and He is the basis of the righteous desire that creates the world. (more…)
