Yatharth Geeta -Swami Adgadanand Ji

CHAPTER 17 The Yog of Threefold Faith The deeds that provide access to God are doubtlessly real. But along with all these, faith is a prime necessity. Undertaken without faith, the action that is accomplished, the alms that are given, and the fire of penance in which the worshipper has burnt himself-are all in vain, profitless both in the present life and in the lives to come. Faith is thus imperative. Thus, through the whole chapter, light is shed on faith; and in its concluding part there is attempted-for the first time in the Geeta-a detailed elucidation of OM, tat and sat. Thus concludes the Seventeenth Chapter, in the Upanishad of Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta, on the Knowledge of the Supreme Spirit, the Science of Yog, and the Dialogue between ‘Krishn and Arjun’ entitled : ‘‘OM Tatsat Shraddhatya Vibhag Yog’’ or ‘‘The Yog of Three Fold Faith’’. Thus concludes Swami Adgadanand’s exposition of the Seventeenth Chapter of the Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta in “Yatharth Geeta”.
