(Ishwar Putra Arun)
Gita Saar | Chapter-7
In chapter 7 of the Gita, Lord Krishna gives glimpses of the nature of the supreme father. He also speaks of the Lord in First person, thereby clearly saying that he is the avatar of the supreme father. He starts by saying that that the devotee who focusing his mind and stilling his heart, stays in the Lord’s-remembrance till a point that he can think of nothing else, such a person finds Him with ease and such a person is never reborn into this sorrow- filled world. LordKrishna further says that the fact is that most people are not aware of the possibility of knowing the Lord; nor do they seek the Lord and they continue to struggle in life after life running after temporary objects.
Lord Krishna says further in chapter 7 that – one among thousands is interested in knowing the One true Lord, and out of a group of the thousands who are interested in knowing Him, only one or two actually come to know Him till the fundamentals. Lord Krishna further says that I, the Lord of the universe, know everything-the past; the present and the future but only those who are filled with devotion for me can know Me in my true nature. Lord Krishna continues by saying that even as He comes face-to-face with the men of the world, they are unable to recognize Him since He comes wrapped in His self-created Yoga-Maya. Lord Krishna further says that People see Him but they think of Him as an ordinary person-of flesh and blood and fated to die like everyone else around them. They are simply blind to the person who stands before them. Lord Krishna further said to Arjuna that since he – Arjuna, was a sincere seeker and completely devoted to Him (Lord Krishna), therefore He – Lord Krishna, would reveal to Arjuna, the divine knowledge that has the power to liberate the sincere devotee.
