Isn' this EXCITING!!!

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

For all those persons whose ULTIMATE GOAL of LIFE is

'BRAHMA NIRVANAM' the following verse by our Bhagavan

is an eye opener and relief.

 

In this forum we have come across various spiritual

matters being discussed, which at the end, point

towards self realisation.

 

For all with average intelligence understanding this

GOAL theoretically and intellectually isn't a hard

one.

 

But to tread the path is mostly ardous and impractical

due to our present day compulsions of existence.

 

This verse no 25 of Chapter 5 of our Bhagavan's Gita

gives us hope.

 

I am giving my understanding of the same. Hope you

will take the trouble to go thru the verse and getting

your share of understanding.

 

 

labhante brahma-nirvanam

rsayah ksina-kalmasah

chinna-dvaidha yatatmanah

sarva-bhuta-hite ratah

 

SYNONYMS

 

labhante--achieve; brahma-nirvanam--liberation in the

Supreme; rsayah--those who are active within;

ksina-kalmasah--who are devoid of all sins;

chinna--torn off; dvaidhah--duality;

yata-atmanah--engaged in self-realization;

sarva-bhuta--in all living entities; hite--in welfare

work; ratah--engaged.

TRANSLATION

 

One who is beyond duality and doubt, whose mind is

engaged within, who is always busy working for the

welfare of all sentient beings, and who is free from

all sins, achieves liberation in the Supreme.

 

To achieve self realisation one can:

 

1.Be a RISHI

2.Be DEVOID of SINS

3.Be ABOVE DUALITIES

4.Be ENGAGED IN SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES

5.Be ENGAGED IN WELFARE ACTIVITIES OF ALL BEINGS

 

Isn't this EXCITING!!!

 

The first four, let us agree is impractical for most

of us.

But the 5th one ???

 

I think we can all at least ATTEMPT to.

 

Let us all go ahead and do our bit to make it a better

place to hang around.

 

Regards
