Bhagavad Gita-That which possesses the body is eternal

[Guest guest]

Sri Ramana Maharshi :

 

What does the Gita say ? Arjuna refused to fight .

 

Krishna said , "So long as you refuse to fight , you have the sense

of doer ship . Who are you to refrain or to act ? Give up the notion

of of doership . Until that sense disappears you are bound to act .

You are being manipulated by a higher power . You are admitting it by

your own refusal to submit to it . Instead recognize the power and

submit as a tool ( or to put it differently ) if you refuse you will

be forcibly drawn into it . Instead of being a unwilling worker , be

a willing worker .

"rather , be fixed in the self and act according to nature without

the thought of doership . then results of action will not affect

you . That is manliness and heroism .

Thus , "inherence" of the self " is the sum and substance of Gita

teaching.

 

Finally , the Master Himself added, " if a man be established in

the SELF these doubts would not arise . They arise only until he is

established there ."
