Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 4-6, from the fourth 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 4, Verse 4:

अर्जुन उवाच |

अपरं भवतो जन्म परं जन्म विवस्वत: |

कथमेतद्विजानीयां त्वमादौ प्रोक्तवानिति || 4||

arjuna uvācha

aparaṁ bhavato janma paraṁ janma vivasvataḥ

katham etad vijānīyāṁ tvam ādau proktavān iti

🔴 Arjuna said:

Your birth has been later; that of the Sun (Vivasvan) earlier. How then am I to take it that You imparted this Yoga in the beginning?

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4, Verse 5:

श्रीभगवानुवाच |

बहूनि मे व्यतीतानि जन्मानि तव चार्जुन |

तान्यहं वेद सर्वाणि न त्वं वेत्थ परन्तप || 5||

śhrī bhagavān uvācha

bahūni me vyatītāni janmāni tava chārjuna

tānyahaṁ veda sarvāṇi na tvaṁ vettha parantapa

🔴 The blesses Lord said:

Numerous births of Mine have already taken place, as also those of yours, Arjuna! I know them all, but O scourge of foes! you do not.

🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4, Verse 6:

अजोऽपि सन्नव्ययात्मा भूतानामीश्वरोऽपि सन् |

प्रकृतिं स्वामधिष्ठाय सम्भवाम्यात्ममायया || 6||

ajo ’pi sannavyayātmā bhūtānām īśhvaro ’pi san

prakṛitiṁ svām adhiṣhṭhāya sambhavāmyātma-māyayā

🔴 Though unborn and though the immutable Self and the Lord of all living beings, resorting to My power of becoming, through My Maya, I take birth.
