Arise Arjuna Foundation - The Bhagwad Gita

The doctor has completed our journey through the Gita and Krishna's conversation with Arjuna, but this episode will top the list of episodes on all of our outlets so it will serve both as a conclusion to our study and an introduction to both those finding us for the first time, and those who want to start again as part of their ongoing search for Knowledge and spirituality. We offer this as a good place to end our study or a good place to start, or even a good place to start again with our gained understanding. Remember, no one ever crosses the same stream twice because it's never the same stream and you are never the same person.

E215 - Those who study this Gita, these dialogs between Krishna and Arjuna worship Brahman with the sacrifice of ignorance. But once you learn this, your negativity goes away.  At the end of the Gita, Krishna ask Arjuna "Do you understand what I have said? Has the ignorance within you been destroyed? Do not grieve."

E214 -  Give up your nature fully and I will liberate you from your sins.

E213 - This utmost of secrets was told by me to you. Consider it completely and carefully, then do as you wish.

E212 - You are destined to do action because of your personality. You can not change your nature by willpower, instead, learn to use your nature for good. Conduct your life as a dedication to Brahman.

E211 - When you surrender all of your actions, you will enter the eternal, omnipresent abode ... Do not let your mind keep slipping from your duties, including those for Brahman. Keep your mind on Brahman and it will help you overcome all obstacles.

E210 - Once he becomes Brahman, he no longer grieves. We continue talking about the qualities of self-realized people. With devotion a person knows Brahman, and after knowing Brahman he enters Brahman and becomes one with Brahman.

E209  - A person of pure intellect has given up his likes and dislikes and given up love and hate.

E208 - One should not give up their natural karma or duty, even though it may not be perfect. Arjuna says that all karmas are "covered with fault". Your Karma is born to you and as you keep doing your duty, you become freer of desires, because as you attach to higher ideals, your lower desires fall off and you move closer to peace of mind.

E207 - We continue our discussion of the importance of doing your own duty, that which you are born to do, even if serving someone else's duty is more materially rewarding. Doing your own duty leaves you calm and peaceful, without agitation and sin (mental disturbance). We do this to calm our mind and minimize the disturbance of our minds so that we can meditate because meditation is what brings us closer to Brahman.
