Chapter 3 Summary of Third Discourse By Swami Sivananda

  Chapter 3 - SANKHYA YOGA Summary of Third Discourse By Swami Sivananda   In order to remove Moha or attachment, which was the sole cause of Arjuna’s delusion, Sri Krishna taught him the imperishable nature of the Atman, the realisation of which would grant him the freedom of the Eternal. A doubt therefore arises in Arjuna’s mind as to the necessity of engaging in action even after one has attained this state.   Sri Krishna clears this doubt by telling him that although one has realized oneness with the Eternal, one has to perform action through the force of Prakriti or Nature. He emphasizes that perfection is attained not by ceasing to engage in action but by doing all actions as a divine offering, imbued with a spirit of non-attachment and sacrifice.   The man of God-vision, Sri Krishna explains to Arjuna, need not engage in action, as he has attained everything that has to be attained. He can be ever absorbed in the calm and immutable Self.   But t...

Chapter 5 Summary of Third Discourse By Swami Sivananda

  Chapter 5 – The Yoga of Renunciation of Action (Karma-Sannyasa Yoga) Summary of Fifth Discourse By Swami Sivananda   In spite of Sri Krishna’s clear instructions, Arjuna still seems to be bewildered. He wants to know conclusively which is superior, the path of action or the path of renunciation of action. The Lord says that both the paths lead to the highest goal of God-realisation. In both cases the final realisation of the Atman is the aim, but the path of Karma Yoga is superior. Actually, there is no real difference between the two. Krishna further asserts that perfection can be attained, and one can be established in the Atman only after the mind has been purified through the performance of selfless action. The Karma Yogi who is aware of the Atman and who is constantly engaged in action knows that although the intellect, mind and senses are active, he does not do anything. He is a spectator of everything. He dedicates all his actions to the Lord and thus aban...

Chapter 7 Summary of Seventh Discourse By Swami Sivananda (Jnana Yoga) - The Yoga of Wisdom and Realization

  SRIMAD BHAGAVADGITA SVADHYAYA   Chapter 7 – The Yoga of Wisdom and Realization (Jnana Yoga) Summary of Seventh Discourse By Swami Sivananda   Sri Krishna tells Arjuna that the supreme Godhead has to be realized in both its transcendent and immanent aspects. The Yogi who has reached this summit has nothing more to know. This complete union with the Lord is difficult of attainment. Among many thousands of human beings, very few aspire for this union, and even among those who aspire for it, few ever reach the pinnacle of spiritual realization. The Lord has already given a clear description of the all-pervading static and infinite state of His. Now He proceeds to explain His manifestations as the universe and the power behind it. He speaks of these manifestations as His lower and higher Prakriti. The lower Prakriti is made up of the five elements, mind, ego and intellect. The higher Prakriti is the life-element which upholds the universe, activates it and caus...
