Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 HARI AUM ‘YAJNA’ and ‘DHARMA’ are words repeated many times over in the ‘Gita’. They have a very special significance. As we go through the life and mission of our Bhagavan we can notice the emphasis he had put on these two aspects of living. He lived the example. The power it generates is more enduring. When one’s actions are more of ‘yajnic’ in nature it becomes more ‘dharmic’ and produces more effective results (dharmo rakshati rakshathaha). Here the key is ‘effective’ not just ‘efficient’. One can be ‘efficient’ but need not be ‘effective’. This is a prime reason for very many ‘unhappiness’. ‘Happiness’ is the state everyone yearns, aspires, strives and fights for. Ultimately when one reaches the other side he feels that the previous side is more greener. This is the tragedy of not adhering to the principles of ‘dharma’. He is destined to keep changing the tacks. Is this ‘Sisyphian’ activity taking us somewhere? Is there a way out? Bhagavan says: ‘balam balavatham chaham kamaragavivarjhitham dharmavirudho bhutheshu kamosmi bharatharshabha’ (verse 11 chapter 7) -qualifies the ‘desires’ ‘yajnarthathkarmanonyatra lokoyam karmabandhanaha thathartham karma kaunteya muktha sanga samachara’ (verse 9 chapter 3) -type of ‘action’ to be done to achieve the qualified ‘desires’ Regards Balagopal NARAYANA NARAYANA NARAYANA ________ India Answers: Share what you know.
