Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji

CHAPTER 1 The Yog of Irresolution and Grief So Sanjay addresses Dhritrashtr and acquaints him with how the chiefs of the Pandav army have made their proclamations with their conches. Each one of them is a prerequisite of the skill of traversing a certain length of the way to spiritual emancipation. Their observance is necessary and that is why they are enumerated in detail. However, there is, after these preliminary stages, that stretch of the path which is beyond the perceiving mind and intellect. This is the length along which one is enabled to travel only by the blessedness of the great God’s awakening within the Self. He stands up from the Self as vision and is self-evident. स घोषो धार्तराष्ट्राणां हृदयानि व्यदारयत्। नभश्र्च पृथिवीं चैव तुमुलोSभ्यनुनादयन् ॥19॥ [ “The loud tumult, reverberating through heaven and earth, pierced the hearts of Dhritrashtr’s sons.’’ ]
