Injunctions of Lord Krishna to Arjuna - 11/24

[Guest guest]

Gita:

 

bhogaishvaryaprasaktaanaa.n tayaapahR^itachetasaam.h |

vyavasaayaatmikaa buddhiH samaadhau na vidhiiyate || 2 : 44 ||

traiguNyavishhayaa vedaa nistraiguNyo bhavaarjuna |

nirdvandvo nityasattvastho niryogakShema aatmavaan.h || 2 : 45 ||

 

[42. Flowery speech is uttered by the unwise, taking pleasure in the

eulogising words of VEDAS, O Partha, saying, "There is nothing else. "

43. Full of desires, having heaven as their goal, they utter flowery

words, which promise new birth as the reward of their actions, and

prescribe various specific actions for the attainment of pleasure and

Lordship.]

44. For, those who cling to joy and Lordship, whose minds are drawn

away by such teaching, are neither determinate and resolute nor are

they fit for steady meditation and SAMADHI.

45. The VEDAS deal with the three attributes; be you above these three

attributes (GUNAS) , O Arjuna, free yourself from the

pairs-of-opposites, and ever remain in the SATTWA (goodness) , freed

from all thoughts of acquisition and preservation, and be established

in the Self.
