Swami Nirviseshananda Tirtha

02 – Enlightened Living | Bhagavad Gita Chapter 13 | Swami Nirviseshananda Tirtha

179 Views | 2 years ago

Giving a short summary of the previous talk, Swamiji drives home the fact that the sages of yore focussed on the internal spiritual journey seeking the answer for the eternal question, “Who am I?”. The Upanishadic knowledge is a record of their experiences, open for confirmation even today. Each person needs to experiment and discover the same truth himself/herself.

Swamiji points out that Bhagavad Gita is a book of discipline. It makes us master of the world by becoming master of the mind, intelligence and emotions. Bhagavad Gita is also a book of life transformation. It analyzes threadbare the coordinates of the human personality so that we can divinize and transform our life and remain aware of the Truth even while interacting with the world.

Bhagavad Gita explains that the Truth can be realized not only in seclusion but also being fully active and interactive in the world. It tells us how one can divinize life by transforming the mind, bringing about a change in attitudes and having a broad vision so that one can perform one’s duties and interact with people and objects remaining unaffected.

Before beginning the first verse of the thirteenth chapter titled ‘kshetra kshetrajna Vibhaga Yoga, Swamiji gives a clear definition of Yoga. We think that we are small and limited by our body-mind personality and everyone is different from us. Yoga is when the small ‘I’ becomes unified with the universal ‘I’ and the multiplicity and fragmentation are no longer there. When the Yoga attitude and vision is added to any activity we do, it becomes a Yoga.
