Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 12
Appendix:—In the fifth verse of the sixth chapter the Lord stated for a common striver that he should emancipate himself by his ownself- 'uddharedatmanatmanarit' but here He declares, "I emancipate them from the ocean of death-bound world" - `tesamaham samuddhana'. It means that first a striver starts his spiritual practice himself. Out of those strivers he, who depends on God, God liberates him from the bondage because he has this faith in God, that He would liberate him. He without worrying for his emancipation, remains engrossed in adoring God. His means and end—both are only God. But the striver, who follows the Discipline of Knowledge, he himself is responsible for his emancipation.
God confers on his devotees both Karmayoga (equanimity) and Jnanayoga viz., destroys their ignorance - born of darkness (Gita 10/10-11) because God designated as Bhagavan is entire by nature. |
