LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 76

As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji

 

But then, who are the persons who do not fall a prey

to this delusion and who worship the Lord as their own

Self? The Lord says:

 

"But those men of virtuous deeds whose sin has ended,

worship Me with firm resolve, freed from the delusion

of the pairs of opposites" (Chapter 7, Verse 28).

 

Those who have destroyed their sins by the performance

of good deeds are freed from the delusive pairs of

opposites like attraction and aversion or love and

hate. As such they worship the Lord with unswerving

devotion.

 

Due to sinful tendencies accumulated through several

births, the mind always goes outwards seeking

undesirable pleasures. However much one may struggle,

the mind does not remain steady in the contemplation

of the Self. In order to make such a mind steady one

has to do certain spiritual disciplines. The foremost

among them is the performance of good deeds (Punya

Karma) like giving some help, physical as well as

financial to needy people and observance of celibacy,

fasting, Japa and meditation.
