Guest guest Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Chapter 8 Verse 27 N'aite sritee paartha jaanan yogee muhyati kashchana / tasmaat sarveshhu kaaleshhu yogayukto bhav'aarjuna // Knowing these paths, O Partha, no yogi is deluded. Therefore, O Arjuna, at all times be steadfast in Yoga. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 84 As taught by Parama Pujya Sri Swamiji Compiled by: Swami Dattananda Bhaktimala, October 2000 “Knowing these paths, O Partha, no yogi is deluded. Therefore, O Arjuna, at all times be steadfast in Yoga" The yogi who has known these two paths, the bright and the dark, is not deluded. He knows and is fully convinced that the dark path leads to Samsara or worldly bondage and the bright path to liberation. So he rejects the dark path and takes up the bright one, which will lead him to immortality. He who goes along with the bright path has to take to the practice of yoga seriously. This path consists of penance, self-control, knowledge, celibacy, meditation etc. The practice of these disciplines will help him in gaining perfect control over his mind. Therefore the Lord advises Arjuna to be a yogi and absorb himself in God-consciousness. Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.
