LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 50

As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji

 

“Those who have their intellect absorbed in That,

whose Self is That, who are established in That, who

have That as their goal, their impurities washed away

by knowledge, they go to that plane from where there

is no return (Moksha).”

 

The intellect of those who have realized the Self, the

Supreme Truth, is absorbed in That (Supreme Truth).

Knowledge of the Supreme Self alone is ever awake in

their mind and nothing else. That means their mind

ever remains fixed on the Highest Lord, the Supreme

Self (Tadbuddhayah).

 

Secondly, they have that Supreme Brahman itself as

their own Self (Tadatmanah.) Third, they have become

steadfast in the Supreme Self, which is Brahman, by

renouncing all actions (Tannishtah). And fourth, the

acquisition of the Supreme Truth is the only goal of

their life (Tatparayanah).

 

Thus the self-realized sages delight solely in the

Self. As their ignorance of the Self has been

destroyed by knowledge, they will have no more

embodiments. The idea is that the knowledge of the

Self destroys the sins that engender transmigratory

life.
