Gita Saar, Chapter 10
(Ishwar Putra Arun)
Gita Saar – In Gita chapter 7 Lord Krishna had enunciated the secrets of the most secret and fundamental of knowledge’s in the universe. Further in chapter 8, on being asked questions by Arjuna, the Lord had further elaborated on what he had been speaking of so that it could be better understood by Arjuna. Yet the Lord was not satisfied. He hankered to give the knowledge to Arjuna in more detail since Arjuna was a sincere devotee. The fact is that true seekers are few and far between and rarely does the Lord get the opportunity to enumerate this knowledge which is described as the King of all knowledge’s. The knowledge is also so potent and soul-stirring that both the speaker and listener are entranced by it. Thus Lord Krishna continues disseminating the same knowledge in more detail in chapter 10.
Chapter 10 starts with the Lord offering his appreciation to Arjuna for being a sincere, loyal and loving devotee and says to him that since Arjuna is such a sincere and genuine devotee , He – the Lord, will further elaborate that knowledge that is of utmost value and secrecy. The fact is that God is always eager to reveal the eternal truth to his sincere devotees. It is only that the sincere devotee is extremely rare. The Lord says to Arjuna-‘Hear me with full attention!’
Lord Krishna starts by saying that the person who has truly known Him as ‘Unborn’, ‘Without beginning or end’ and ‘The Lord of all worlds’; such a person is freed of all sin. (more…)
