LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 75

As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji

 

"The foolish think of Me, the unmanifested, as come

into manifestation, not knowing my Supreme State,

which is immutable and unsurpassed."

 

Each individual has to incarnate again and again in

order to fulfill his unfulfilled desires. In every

birth, he gets a body, mind and intellect based upon

the ideas, thoughts and actions of his previous lives.

So the birth of the body, mind and intellect is the

effect or the result and the cause is the ideas,

thoughts and actions of the individual’s previous

lives. Thus, a person reincarnates again and again

according to the law of cause and effect. But the Lord

is not subject to any laws. Although he takes birth as

a human being, behaves like a human being, and shows

himself to be subject to the universal laws, yet, in

reality, he is not bound by the laws. This is the

difference between an ordinary mortal and the

incarnation of the Lord.

 

The Lord is Brahman, the pure consciousness, immortal,

eternal and infinite. In every age, the Lord

incarnates himself as a human being to protect the

pious, destroy the wicked and establish virtue.

Although He manifests Himself taking the form of

Krishna, Rama or any other, He is eternally

unmanifested and without form. Therefore, when Sri

Krishna says that He incarnates Himself in every age

to establish in the world, we have to understand that

He speaks from the standpoint of His Supreme status of

Brahman, which is immutable and transcendent.
