Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 9-13 from the Ninth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The song of God".

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 9 Verse 9:

न च मां तानि कर्माणि निबध्नन्ति धनञ्जय ।

उदासीनवदासीनमसक्तं तेषु कर्मसु ॥ 9 ॥

na ca māṃ tāni karmāṇi nibadhnanti dhanañjaya

udāsīnavadāsīnamasaktaṃ teṣu karmasu

🔴 Sitting like one indifferent, and unattached to these acts, Dhananjaya, these acts do not bind Me.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 9 Verse 10:

मयाध्यक्षेण प्रकृतिः सूयते सचराचरम् ।

हेतुनानेन कौन्तेय जगद्विपरिवर्तते ॥ 10 ॥

mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram

hetunānena kaunteya jagadviparivartate

🔴 Under Me as her Supervisor, PRAKRITI (nature) produces the moving and the unmoving; because of this, O Kaunteya, the world revolves.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 9 Verse 11:

अवजानन्ति मां मूढा मानुषीं तनुमाश्रितम् ।

परं भावमजानन्तो मम भूतमहेश्वरम् ॥ 11 ॥

avajānanti māṃ mūḍhā mānuṣīṃ tanumāśritam

paraṃ bhāvamajānanto mama bhūtamaheśvaram

🔴 Fools disregard Me when I dwell in human form; they know not My Higher being as the Great Lord of all beings.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 9 Verse 12:

मोघाशा मोघकर्माणो मोघज्ञाना विचेतसः ।

राक्षसीमासुरीं चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिताः ॥ 12 ॥

moghāśā moghakarmāṇo moghajñānā vicetasaḥ

rākṣasīmāsurīṃ caiva prakṛtiṃ mohinīṃ śritāḥ

🔴 Of vain hopes, of vain actions, of vain knowledge, and senseless, they verily are possessed of the delusive nature of RAKSHASAS and ASURAS.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 9 Verse 13:

महात्मानस्तु मां पार्थ दैवीं प्रकृतिमाश्रिताः ।

भजन्त्यनन्यमनसो ज्ञात्वा भूतादिमव्ययम् ॥ 13 ॥

mahātmānastu māṃ pārtha daivīṃ prakṛtimāśritāḥ

bhajantyananyamanaso jñātvā bhūtādimavyayam

🔴 But the MAHATMAS (great-souls) O Partha, partaking of My divine nature, worship Me with a single mind (with a mind devoted to nothing else) , knowing Me as the Imperishable Source of all beings.
