Chapter 7

Verse 29

 

Jaraa-marana-mokshaaya maama ashritya yatanti ye /

te brahma tad viduh kritsnam adhyaatmam

karmac'haakhilam //

 

Taking refuge in Me, those who strive for freedom from

old age and death come to know Brahman, the whole of

Adhyatma and Karma in its entirety.

 

LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 76

As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji

 

The practice of these good deeds will free the

Sadhakas (practitioners) from the pairs of opposites

and as a result, they will not get involved themselves

in pleasure and pain. Only these people who are

liberated from the delusion of dualities worship the

Lord with a firm resolve. With what aim do they

worship? The Lord answers:

 

"Taking refuge in Me, those who strive for freedom

from old age and death come to know Brahman, the whole

of Adhyatma and Karma in its entirety" (Chapter 7,

Verse 29).

 

The knowledge of Brahman is hard to attain. Those who

take refuge in the Lord and make sincere efforts alone

can realize the Lord, the Brahman. As they have fully

surrendered to the Lord, they are free from all

anxiety and worries of any sickness, old age and

death.

 

The idea is that those who are interested in the

thought of the Lord are not in the least affected by

the fear of old age or death as their vision of the

self reaches its supreme perfection and they identify

themselves with their own Self and not with their

bodies. They alone know Brahma, the whole of Adhyatma

(the reality of the Inner Self) and Karma in its entirety.
