HEART OF THE GITA

HEART   OF   THE   GITA


I have tried  to summarise the core of Gita in different manner.


A child is born with the body(chariot) having five sense organs(five horses) who are untrained/unsynchronised because of absence of any training imparted to them. They (sense organs) start functioning without following any specific direction.

The life manifesting as child is nothing but Krishna (Consciousness/God/Awareness/Presence/Absolute) itself.


Stage of conditioning-The child starts getting information and the brain cells (neurons) start getting trained and simultaneously the sense organs also start getting synchronized with the little mind which the child has.

Birth of Arjuna- Further the attachment (ego or Arjuna) takes birth simultaneously with training of neurons.

Maturing Arjuna- By the passage of time due to more and more supply of information, training of neurons and development of further more and more softwares, the attachment also grows and become strong i.e. Arjuna (Ego) getting established/matured as per the training imparted by the outside factors (society) .

He (Arjuna) on his own also puts more and more inputs making it further strong.

Simultaneously 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 as neither any related loaded information is fed nor any training is imparted to the neurons.

Here due to habits (unconscious/mechanical behavior) the sense organs still functions without any direction as the person even after maturity has never asked the question “whether these sense organs are meant for his use or what as no such input was fed into the system.”

He has not bothered till date what is the purpose behind the whole drama of the so called creation. He is as unconscious (in slumber) as others are.

He is in the stage of sudra (servicing to the sense organs unconsciously due to conditioning).

Awakening- "Somehow" due to some incident or any other inner or outer factor in this person the desire (thought loaded with energy) of knowing/finding out/searching the answers of existential questions (who I am, where I am, why I am,etc.) becomes intense.

This becomes the top most priority of his living.

He starts the search and he is known as seeker (a transitional state of ZEN sayings---sometimes river is river and sometimes not---a state of confusion).

He is now ready to face Krishna.

He tries to find out a person (Guru/Master etc.) as per information available in his/her psychosomatic instrument.

This is nothing but unknowingly searching Krishna (his own self which he actually is) in physical form as he is not aware about something which is beyond the grasp of sense organs and mind.

He "may" start enquiring on his own as per his understanding.

Battle of Mahabharta-----This is the stage of battle of Mahabharata (all sorts of mental and physical gymnastics as suggested by the Guru or as per his understanding).

Now the person is in the stage of "kshatriya" a fighter--trying to figure out the answers of the existential questions........but the conditioning creating problem. The person is trying to get rid of or to come out of conditioning-----battle with the thoughts.

Feeling of presence of awareness through inner/outer Guru (Gita) starts happening/revealing whenever the ego gets reduced i.e. understanding starts happening, but due to strong attachment (Ego) he repeatedly forgets himself.

This goes on for a long time.

This period represents the whole Gita.

Krishna tried all sorts of ways/methods to make Arjuna understands that you are ME, but in vain.

Arjuna was slipping downward to the trough again and again.

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 i.e. nobody is doer) happens (enlightenment) to the person his all questions come to naught as all were appear to existing due to not knowing his true nature i.e. not questioning/investigating whatever he knew/understand.

Realising his true nature---Arjuna now becomes Brahmin (Dwij i.e. second birth) i.e. he comes to know that he is already Brahman/God/Krishna........means the feeling/knowledge of separation comes to naught.

Here represents the showing of Vishwaswarupa by Krishna after which Arjuna as ego gets annihilated on realizing his true nature as Brahman.


After realisation the name/word Arjuna/I remains for name sake and has its utility value but without attachment (load due to misunderstanding).

Now he now knows that he is no other than Krishna (awareness) .

Now Arjuna lives a natural life i.e. has realised he was living in a mechanical/unconscious way due to influence of conditioning and he was ever free, but not knowing because of influence of conditioning.

Now after happening of the clarity he knows that--

EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE MOMENT.

THE IDEA/CONCEPT OF DOERSHIP IS ALTOGETHER FALSE.

HE (AS HE DID HAVE UNDERSTANDING OF HIMSELF) DOES NOT EXIST.

EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE IS IN ITS NATURAL STATE (AS IT IS---IN THE STATE OF ISNESS) AS THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO BE IN THE MOMENT.
