ESSENCE of GITA
[ Re-posting ]
A child is born with the body (chariot) having five sense organs (five horses) who are untrained/unsynchronised because of absence of mind.
The life manifesting as child is nothing but Krishna (pure awareness) itself .
In absence of mind (data,software,conditioning) sense organs start functioning without following any specific direction/way as the coordinator (trained/conditioned brain) has not developed.
The child starts getting information and the brain cells start getting training/conditioning and simultaneously the sense organs also start getting synchronized with each other with little mind which has developed in the child .
Further simultaneously the attachment (Ego or Arjuna) takes birth with the development of mind. Better to say Arjun is made up of data and software/programme (conditioning).
By the passage of time due to more information and development of further software, the attachment also grows and become strong i.e. Arjuna (Ego) starts getting established/matured as per the training imparted by the outside factors (society) .
Further Arjuna/Ego on his own also puts more and more inputs or have more and more experiences making it (Ego) further strong.
Alongwith the mind the body (chariot) also comes to maturity, say at the age of about 21 years. However he (Arjuna/Ego) is totally unaware about its (Krishna) nature.
Here due to habits (unconscious compulsive behavior) the sense organs still function without any direction as the person even after maturity does not ask the question “whether these sense organs are meant for his/her use or what, as no such input to ask such questions was ever fed into the system.”
Arjuna does not bother/question what is the purpose behind the whole drama of the so called creations. He is as unconscious (living in slumber) as others are.
He is in the stage of sudra ( a Sansakrit word) i.e. servicing to the sense organs.
Somehow in this person (Arjuna) the intense desire of knowing/finding out/searching the answers of existential questions (who I am, where I am, why I am,etc.) becomes "prominent/priority of life".
Then he starts the search and he is known as seeker.
This we can say "He is a ripe Arjuna and now ready/prepared to face Krishna as mentioned in Gita".
He/she tries to find out a person (Guru/Master etc.) as per information fed into the system.
This is nothing but unknowingly searching Krishna (his own self which he/she actually is) in physical form as he/she is not aware about something which is beyond the grasp of sense organs.
He/she may start inquiring on his own as per his/her understanding.
Here Mahabharata (all sorts of mental and physical gymnastics as suggested by the Guru/Master or as per his understanding) starts happening.
This we can say "He (Arjuna) is in the stage of kshatriya (a Sanskrit word loose meaning in English is fighter).
The awareness/Krishna that he is (he is not aware about this fact), is of different dimension than the physical form which is known to him.
Feeling of presence of awareness through inner/outer Guru (singing of Gita) starts happening. Whenever the ego gets reduced i.e. understanding starts happening, but due to strong attachment (Ego) he/she repeatedly forgets himself.
This goes on for a long period.
This we can say "This period represents the time taken by Krishna in delivering the whole Gita before Arjuna."
Krishna tried all sorts of ways/methods to make Arjuna understands that you are ME, but in vain.
Arjuna was slipping to the trough again and again and was not able to understand what Krishna was trying to convey through various methods like Suddha Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Karma Yoga and Gyana Yoga.
If somehow the total understanding (he is already that which he was seeking or he has never been out from that state or it was his misunderstanding that he was body-mind structure only or everything is happening on its own or nobody is doer) happens to the person his/her all questions come to not as all were existing due to not knowing his true nature or better to say having misunderstanding due to conditioning.
He now becomes Brahmin, a Sanskrit word meaning who knows Brahman the reality/nature/root/base. He/she is now also called Dwij i.e. who takes second birth i.e. realised state .
""Here lies the significance of the festival Janmashtami (the birth of Krishna).""
This stage represents the showing of Vishwaswarupa by Krishna after which Arjuna as ego gets annihilated on realizing his true nature as Brahman.
The name(word) Arjuna/I remains for name sake...first person singular no..just for communication, but without attachment (load due to misunderstanding).
Now he now knows that he is no other than Krishna (awareness) .
This is the essence of GITA.
