LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 59

As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji

 

"Let that be known as the states called by the term

Yoga - a state of severance from the contact of pain.

This Yoga must be practiced with determination and

with an undejected mind" (Chapter 6, Verse 23).

 

The man who has attained the bliss of the Self forgets

the pain and pleasures of the body. He will not be

shaken even if mountains of misery are to crash down

upon him. He is always full of peace and cheer. The

ideal of Yoga is to attain to this supreme state of

Blessedness. Thus the need or purpose to pursue the

Yoga is again spoken of in this verse.

 

This Yoga is to be practiced with firm determination

and with an undejected mind. Or, in other words,

perseverance and non-dejection are the two disciplines

of Yoga. There might appear lot of difficulties and

obstacles in the spiritual path. But one should not

give up hope. With patience and perseverance one

should practice the Yogic disciplines. This is the

idea.
