Bhagavad Gita -Sri Madhvacharya

(Bhashya and Tatparya Nirnaya)

Chapter 15 Purushottama Yoga 5 – 6 - 7. Those who are freed from pride and delusion, have conquered the defects of attachment, who are ever devoted to the Supreme, their desires having been restrained, delivered from dualities of pleasures and pain, the un-deluded goes to that state which is Eternal. The sun does not shine there, nor the moon, nor the fire, reaching which place, there is no return. That is My Supreme Abode. A fragment or My own Self, having become the eternal living soul in the world of men, draws towards itself the senses with Mind as the sixth, resting in Prakriti. Bhashya :- In this verse Sri Krishna tells other means of spiritual discipline. He explains His divine form. Tatparya Nirnaya :- Due to slight similarity, even though distinct, the Jivas are spoken as partial manifestations. The Lord, verily, when enveloping his body energizes the six senses including the Mind to the objects of the Prakriti. The statement that it attracts towards sound etc. may give rise to the assumption that the Jiva is independent.
