Bhaj Govindam Verse 20

Bhaj Govindam  Nirantar swasth chintan ho, yehi sabse bada jaap hai. Na utra aacharn mai to, samucha gyan gapshap hai. Rahe bhukhe magar phir bhi na khae paap ki Roti  Bache buri aadatose, yehi is yug ka saab se bada tap hai.

To have pure and healthy thoughts is the most important chant, If we have not been able to implement our learning in our day to day lives, the entire ocean of knowledge is but an other source of gossip or a way to fill our empty hours.

It should be acceptable for one to starve, rather than eat from sinful income, To avoid bad habits, is the biggest penance of this yuga.

Akhandanandaji in his discourse, said he ones knew a man who had Geeta memorised. He could recite the Geeta, backward, forward and if asked from anywhere in the middle he would continue or mention the shloka number and chapter. However, as he grew older, he slowly forgot what he had memorised and by the time of his death, he remembered nothing at all. Instead, of the superficial memorising exercise, if he would have spent that much time, internalising and implementing even one of the verses in his life, it would have helped him cross the ocean of mundane existence and find a place at the feet of God.

Kabir Dasji says, what the 20th verse which has been written by Anandgiri ji is trying to tell us; 

Potha padh pad jag muah, pandit bhaya na koi. Dhai aakhar prem ke, paade sau pandit hoye.

Just by reading endless scriptures,  One does not become a knower of God. The one who is able to experience universal love, Is the realised one.

Note: The word pandit has been used in Geeta also, it refers to the self realised one, who is the knower of self and the divine wisdom. A Viveki, Gyani and Vigyani. (Not to be mistaken with how we use the word pandit today)

Verse 20

भगवद् गीता किञ्चिदधीता,  गङ्गा जललव कणिकापीता।  सकृदपि येन मुरारि समर्चा,  क्रियते तस्य यमेन न चर्चा॥

bhagavadgītā kiñchidadhītā gaṅgā jalalava kaṇikā pītā | sakṛdapi yena murārī samarchā kriyate tasya yamena na charchā ‖ 

जिन्होंने भगवदगीता का थोडा सा भी अध्ययन किया है, भक्ति रूपी गंगा जल का कण भर भी पिया है,  भगवान कृष्ण की एक बार भी समुचित प्रकार से पूजा की है,  यम के द्वारा उनकी चर्चा नहीं की जाती है
