Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand 356

Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji

CHAPTER 5 The Supreme God : Enjoyer of Yagya He is the seer-the pandit-because he knows God. God (Krishn) is known as an outcome of yagya. He is the one into whom breath-recitation, yagya, and purificatory rites all merge. He is the tranquillity which the worshipper experiences as an outcome of yagya, that is, with the attainment of this repose he is transformed into a sage like Krishn. Like Krishn and other seers, he also becomes God of gods because he is now one with God. That the coming about of this attainment may take a number of births is a different matter. Chapter 5 has thus elucidated the unique and amazing point that the power that dwells within the sage after his realization of God is no other than the spirit of the Supreme Lord - of the God who is the enjoyer of the offerings of all yagya and penances. Thus concludes the Fifth Chapter in the Upanishad of the Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta, on the Knowledge of the Supreme Spirit, the Science of Yog, and the Dialogue between Krishn and Arjun, entitled : ‘‘Yagya Bhokta Mahapurushasth Maheshwarah”, or ‘‘The Supreme God- Enjoyer of Yagya’’. Thus concludes Swami Adgadanand’s exposition of the Fifth Chapter of the Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta in “Yatharth Geeta”.
