“O Parth, as men worship me, even so do I accept them…!!!

Bhagavad Gita sings:

ये यथा मां प्रपद्यन्ते तांस्तथैव भजाम्यहम् ।
मम वर्त्मानुवर्तन्ते मनुष्याः पार्थ सर्वशः ॥४-११॥

ye yathā mām prapadyante
tāns tathai’va bhajāmy aham,
mama vartmā’nuvartante
manuṣyāḥ pārtha sarvasaḥ (11)

“O Parth, as men worship me,
even so do I accept them,
and
knowing this the wise follow me in every way.”

Sri Krishn rewards his worshippers according to the nature of their devotion;
he assists them in the same degree.

It is the worshiper’s dedication that is returned to him as grace. Knowing this secret, the righteous conduct themselves with single-mindedness according to the way laid down by him.
They who are dear to him act according to his way.
They do what he ordains them to do.

God shows his favour by standing with the worshiper as a charioteer; he begins to walk along with the worshiper and manifest his glory. This is the form of his loving care.

He stands up for the destruction of forces that generate wickedness and to protect righteous impulses that provide access to reality. Unless the worshiped God acts as the earnest charioteer who alerts at every step, despite his dedication and closing his eyes in meditation, and all other endeavours, the worshiper cannot cope with
the adversities of the material world successfully.

How is he to know how much distance he has covered
and
how much more remains to be covered?

The adored God stands inseparably with the Self and guides him: that he is now at this point,
that he should do this, and walk like that.

Thus the gulf of nature is gradually bridged and,
guiding the Soul ahead by gradual steps,
God at last enables him to merge into him.

Worship and adoration have to be performed by the devotee,
but
the distance on the path which is covered by the devotee is only
by
God’s grace.

Knowing this, men who are pervaded by divine sentiment
through and through
follow Sri Krishn’s precept.

Death is a mere physical change: the Self does not die….!!!

Bhagavad Gita sings:

वासांसि जीर्णानि यथा विहाय नवानि गृह्णाति नरोऽपराणि ।
तथा शरीराणि विहाय जीर्णा न्यन्यानि संयाति नवानि देही ॥२- २२॥

vāsānsi jīrṇāni yathā vihāya navāni gṛhṇāti naro’parāṇi,
tathā śarīrāṇi vihāya jīrṇāny anyāni sanyāti navāni dehī (22)

“Like a man who puts on new garments after discarding his worn out clothes, the embodied Self, also, casts off tattered bodies and transmigrates into other bodies that are new.’’

The Soul rejects bodies that have been ravaged by old age or some other disease and dresses himself in new apparel just as a man throws away old, torn clothes and puts on new clothes.

The body rests on sanskar, the impressions from action attained
in
the course of a previous existence.
When the store of sanskar is depleted, the Self discards the body.
If the sanskar is of two days’ duration only,
the body will be on the brink of death on the second day itself.

Beyond sanskar there is not even a single breath of life;
sanskar is the body and the Self assumes a new body
according to his sanskar.

According to the Chandogya Upanishad,

“A man is primarily his will.
As is his will in this life,
so does he become when he departs from it.”

It is the firmness of his will in one life that determines
what
a man will be in the next.
Man is thus born in bodies that are shaped by his own will.
So death is a mere physical change: the Self does not die.

This is the stage when the Soul is liberated….!!!

God dwells inextricably in the heart of the man
who
rests in his own Self
and
reacts evenly to the dualities of nature
such as
heat and cold, pain and pleasure, and honour and humiliation.

Perfect repose flows through one
who has conquered the mind along with the senses.

This is the stage
when the Soul is liberated.

“Yatharth Geeta”- Shreemad Bhagavad Gita In It’s True Perspective !!!

What were the inner feelings and emotions of Sri Krishn when he preached the Geeta?All inner feelings can not be expressed in words.Some can be told,some are expressed through the body language, and the rest are to be realized which can only be understood by a seeker through experiences.Only after attaining the state which Sri Krishn had been to,an accomplished teacher knows what Geeta says.He simply does not reiterate verses of the Geeta but,in fact,gives expressions to the inner feelings of the Geeta.This is possible because he sees the same picture which was there when Shri Krishn preached the Geeta.He there fore,sees the real meaning,can show it to us,can evoke the inner feelings and would lead us on the path of Enlightenment.

“Charan Sparsh Revered Gurudev”

Revered Paramhans Swami Parmanand jee maharaj ,spiritual mentor of my noble accomplished teacher revered Paramhans Swami Adgadanand jee maharaj ,was also an enlightened person of such a level and the compilation of his words and blessings to grasp the inner feelings of the Shreemad Bhagwad Geeta itself is the ” Yatharth Geeta”.In other words,metaphysical expositions of Bhagwad Geeta verses in it’s true perspective has been named as “Yatharth Geeta”.

The author of the “Yatharth Geeta”,Swami Adgadanand jee,
my spiritual mentor, is a saint who is bereft of worldly education,
yet is internally organised by the grace of accomplished Guru,
which
became possible after a long practice of meditation.He considers writing as an obstacle on the path of to the Supreme Beatitude,yet his directions became the cause for this treatise.

The Supreme Being had revealed to him that all his inherent mental attitudes have been nullified excepting a minor writing of ” Yatharth Geeta”.
Initially he had tried his best to cut this attitude too,through meditation,but the directive prevailed.Thus the treatise ,
“Yatharth Geeta”,
became possible.
Wherever mistakes crept into the treatise,
the Supreme Being himself rectified them.

As desired and instructed by most revered one,
I wish to spread and share the message of
“Yatharth Geeta”
around the globe which has been learnt in his lotus feet
so that Gurudev’s moto
“The internalized archive peace” would become ‘peace”
for every one
at the end.

Salvation….!!!

 Bhagwad Geeta sings:
*
तद्बुद्धयस्तदात्मानस्तन्निष्ठास्तत्परायणाः ।
गच्छन्त्यपुनरावृत्तिं ज्ञाननिर्धूतकल्मषाः ॥
*
tadbuddhayas tadātmānas
tanniṣṭhās tatparāyaṇāh,
gacchanty apunarāvṛttim
jñānanirdhūtakalmaṣāḥ 
*
“Those men attain salvation-after which there is no next birth-whose mind and intellect are free from delusion,
who dwell with a single mind in God and put themselves
at
his mercy,
and
who are freed from all sin by knowledge.’’

*
That state is knowledge in which a man dedicates himself wholly to God and is dependent on him, with a mind and an intellect shaped accordingly, and overflowing with his essence.

Knowledge is not garrulousness or being argumentative.
The man who is endowed with this knowledge attains
to
salvation and is liberated from physical ties.

It is such men who are called pandit,
men of profound learning
and
wisdom
.
Only a man who has achieved this ultimate state deserves the name of
pandit.

That Sage Is Liberated For Ever……!!!

 Bhagwad Geeta sings:
*
*
स्पर्शान्कृत्वा बहिर्बाह्यांश्चक्षुश्चैवान्तरे भ्रुवोः ।
प्राणापानौ समौ कृत्वा नासाभ्यन्तरचारिणौ ॥
*
यतेन्द्रियमनोबुद्धिर्मुनिर्मोक्षपरायणः ।
विगतेच्छाभयक्रोधो यः सदा मुक्त एव सः ॥
*
sparśān kṛtvā bahir bāhyāmś
cakṣuś cai’vā’ntare bhruvoḥ,
prāṇāpānau samau kṛtvā
nāsābhyantaracārinau
*
yatendriyamanobuddhir
munir mokṣaparāyaṇaḥ,
vigatecchābhayakrodho
yaḥ sadā mukta eva saḥ
*
*
“That sage is liberated for ever
who shuts out of his mind all objects of sensual pleasure, keeps his eyes centered between the two brows,
regulates his pran and apan,
conquers his senses, mind and intellect,
and
whose mind is fixed on salvation.”

*
Sri Krishn reminds Arjun of the vital need of excluding from the mind all thoughts of external objects as well as of keeping eyes fixed steadily between the two brows. Keeping eyes between the brows does not simply mean concentrating them at something.

It is rather that while the worshiper is sitting erect,his eyes should be pointed ahead in a straight line from the midpoint between the brows; they should not wander about restlessly and look right and left. Keeping the eyes aligned with the ridge of the nose- we must be careful that we do not start watching the nose-and balancing pran against apan and keeping the eyes steadily fixed all the while, we should direct the vision of mind, the Soul, to the breath and let him watch it:

when does the breath go in,
how long is it held-if it is held in for only half a second,
we should not try to prolong it by force,
and how long does it stay out?
It is hardly necessary to say
that
the name in the breath will ring audibly.

Thus when the vision of mind learns to concentrate steadily
on the inhaled and exhaled breath,
breathing will gradually become constant,
firm,
and
balanced.

There will be then neither generation of inner desires
nor
assaults on the mind and heart
by desires from external sources.

Thoughts of external pleasure have already been shut out; now there will not even arise inner desires.

Contemplation then stands steady and straight
like a stream of oil.
A stream of oil does not descend like water, drop by drop;
it comes down in a constant, unbroken line.
Similar to this is the motion of the breath
of
a sage of attainment.

So the man, who has balanced his pran and apan, conquered his senses, mind and intellect, freed himself from desire, and fear and anger, perfected contemplative discipline, and taken refuge in salvation,
is
ever-liberated
.
