Dharma - Taming of our wild mind

[Guest guest]

Bhagwat Gita is Sri Krishna in love. His teaching

is absolutely wild, dangerous and courageous but His love gives it a challenge

to a Childs’ mind to climb at shoulder of the Sri Krishna. This is not

step by step. Sri Krishna taught Abhimanyu the art of

Charaviyuh when in womb. Nothing He taught is simple,

and yet understandable only by a childlike mind.

Bhagwat Gita is an

intimate interpersonal relationship of every individual with Sri Krishna in

100% solitude. In summary, Arjun is first taught how bad

it was for him to live in illusion of bondage and that he cannot act with free

or unattached mind. Arjun was handicap. Arjun then asked Him methods required to train his wild

mind that goes into different ‘vishaya’

or sensory allurements and bondages of worldly obligations. Sri Krishna then

taught him different methods and practices in the name of DHARMA, - taming of mind’ by Gyan and to

be ready for karma of war. He further removed the responsibility of results and

how cause and effect have their limitation, and results are universal and not

in control of hands of individual.

After Arjun understood his role in

life and circumstances, he lost the ego and found him united with the mind of

Sri Krishna, he got the self realization. Krishna and Arjun with united mind became ONE and Karma began. Karma is

CONDUCT according to ones’ SWABHAV; and then SWABHAV is getting more

perfected or refined or transformed. Sri Krishna then taught him how a sanyasi or free man works in the universe of natural laws,

and is unmindful of results into his/her working without attachment. He then

taught him about integration of gyan-karma-bhakti and

gave him insight for GUNA and understanding of PURUSH and PRAKRITI. At this

stage, DHARMA which was a circus of training the mind to get detached from

bondages was finally unnecessary. He said in the end, that ‘leave all the

Dharma’ and be Me.
