    Gita Jayanthi Classes –KARMA SANNYASA Chapter. 5


    Contributed By Smt Indumati


    Free from pairs of opposites

    •Neither likes nor dislikes

    •Neither attachment nor aversion to worldly things

    •Neither appreciation nor criticism is important

    •Neither success nor failure bothers

    •Neither joy nor sorrow


    ØTherefore free from samsara

    ØSanyasa is a state of mind & not any outwardly uniform

    Krishna’s revolutionary statement cleanses the idea of renunciation from all its external embellishments

    To go beyond the pairs of opposites is to transcend the mind



    Such pairs of opposites are the wheels on which the mind rolls forward earning the experiences of life.

    •Comparison is the only way of understanding given to man Eg., I can understand light only with reference to my knowledge of darkness

    •If there is no contrast for a thing, we cannot gain knowledge of that thing

    •Comparison & contrast are methods of knowing for the instrument of mind & intellect

    •Transcending the comparison & contrast, free from pairs of opposites is true sanyasa



    •He is a true sanyasi, who has gone beyond the perception of contrast

    •The one who has transcended the inner instrument of mind & intellect

    •Dvesha comes when we have dvandwa

    •Selfish work involves you in work for personal gains

    •Selfishness arises when we compare ourselves with others

    •But when we develop relationship with GOD, we get rid of bondages effortlessly

    Sukham bandhaat pramuchyate


    •Develop this thought, know that everything is a gift from GOD

    •This can lead us to our ultimate goal

    Contributed By Dr Sunder

    ATMA IS AKARTA – ABHOKTA

    nādatte kasyacit pāpaṁ

    na caiva sukṛtaṁ vibhuḥ


    IF SO, WHY DO I SUFFER FROM SAMSARA?

    ajñānenāvṛtaṁ jñānaṁ

    tena muhyanti jantavaḥ


    Samsara: For whom?

    Jantavaha - animals / beings

    (punaḥ punaḥ jāyathe iti jantuḥ)


    Chapter 5, Verse 16

    Contributed By Dr Suman


    Ignorance is the root cause of our problems

    Treatment is jñānam

    Darkness can only be removed by light

    Path for moksha is only one à jñāna-yoga



    How to gain this self knowledge?

    And what is this true higher self ?


    Bhagavad Gita 5th Chapter 18th Verse

    Contributed By Vani Bhaskar


    vidyā-vinaya-sampanne

    brāhmaṇe gavi hastini

    śhuni chaiva śhva-pāke cha

    paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśhinaḥ


    Meaning

    vidyā— knowledge; vinaya—humbleness; sampanne—equipped with; brāhmaṇe—a Brahmin; gavi—a cow; hastini—an elephant; śhuni—a dog; cha—and; eva—indeed; śhva-pāke—a dog-eater; cha—and; paṇḍitāḥ—the learned; sama-darśhinaḥ—see with equal vision or See the same Brahman
