Guest guest Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 Thus Spake The Lord Krishna used the word, Yoga, many times in the Geetha; the state of the Individual (or Jivi) during Yoga too is described; yet, a doubt may arise in the minds of those who have read the Geetha that there is no agreement between the word as used ordinarily and as used by Krishna. Krishna has extolled Vairagya (Detachment) in some places. At other places, He has declared that the highest Freedom can be earned by Worship. Various methods of attaining the Supreme state of spiritual Bliss are also elaborated. In the Eighth Discourse, there is an account of Raja Yoga, but it is not right to say that the Geetha is a text that teaches Raja Yoga. Complete surrender to Lord Krishna, freedom from the threefold shackles which bind one with the external world of objects, the observance of good deeds and virtuous disciplines, these are the principal truths underlines in the Geetha. The Lord holds these forth as the best forms of training in the deepest secrets of inner progress. Source: Chapter 1, Geetha Vahini; Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
