Grace Of The Gita
God And His Words Are One And The Same. The Study Of Gita Is Equivalent To Worship Of God. Life In Modern Society Is All Work And No Spirituality. Swami Harihar Says: "Daily Study Of Only A Few Verses Of The Gita Will Recharge Mental Batteries And Add Meaning To The Dull Routine Life Of Modern Society." For Serious Students, Daily Study Of One Chapter Of The Gita, Or Several Verses From The Forty Selected Verses Given In The End Of This Book Is Highly Recommended.
Whoever Hears This Sacred Dialogue With Faith And Without Cavil Becomes Free From Sin, And Attains Heaven ¾ The Higher Worlds Of Those Whose Actions Are Pure And Virtuous. (18.71 )
The Goal Of Human Birth Is To Master The Mind And Senses And Reach One's Destiny. A Regular Study Of The Gita Is Sure To Help Achieve This Noble Goal. One Who Is Regular In The Study Of The Gita Becomes Happy, Peaceful, Prosperous, And Free From The Bondage Of Karma Though Engaged In The Performance Of Worldly Duties. The One Who Studies Even Few Verses Of The Gita Every Day Is Not Tainted By Sin Just As Water Does Not Stain A Lotus Leaf.
The Gita Is The Best Abode Of Lord Krishna. The Spiritual Potency Of The Lord Abides In Every Verse Of The Gita. The Bhagavad-Gita Is The Storehouse Of Spiritual Knowledge. The Lord Himself Spoke This Supreme Science Of The Absolute Containing The Essence Of All The Scriptures For The Benefit Of Humanity.
All The Upanishads Are The Cows; Arjuna Is The Calf; Krishna Is The Milker; The Nectar Of The Gita Is The Milk; And The Persons Of Purified Intellects Are The Drinkers. One Need Not Study Any Other Scripture If He Or She Seriously Studies The Gita, Contemplates On The Meaning Of The Verses, And Practices Its Teachings In One's Daily Life.
The Affairs Of The World Run By The First Commandment Of The Creator - The Teachings Of Selfless Service - So Beautifully Expounded In The Gita. The Sacred Knowledge Of Doing One's Duty Without Looking For A Reward Is The Original Teaching That Alone Can Lead To Salvation. The Gita Is Like A Ship By Which One Can Easily Cross The Ocean Of Transmigration , And Attain Liberation.
It Is Said That Wherever The Gita Is Chanted Or Read With Love And Devotion, Lord Makes Himself Present There To Listen And Enjoy The Company Of His Devotees. Going To A Place Where Gita Is Regularly Chanted Or Taught Is Like Going To A Holy Place Of Pilgrimage. Lord Himself Comes To Take The Devotee To His Supreme Abode When One Leaves The Physical Body Contemplating On The Knowledge Of The Gita. The One Who Regularly Reads, Recites To Others, Hears And Follows The Sacred Knowledge Contained In The Gita Is Sure To Attain Liberation From The Bondage Of Karma And Attain Nirvana.
Though Engaged In The Performance Of Worldly Duties, One Who Is Regular In The Study Of The Gita Becomes Happy, And Free From Karmic Bondage. Sins Do Not Taint Who Is Regular In The Study Of The Gita. All The Sacred Centers Of Pilgrimage, Gods, Sages, And Great Souls Dwell In The Place Where The Gita Is Kept, And Read.
Help During Troubles Comes Quickly Where Gita Is Recited, And Lord Dwells Where It Is Read, Heard, Taught, And Contemplated Upon. By Repeated Reading Of The Gita, One Attains Bliss And Liberation. The One Who Contemplates On The Teachings Of The Gita At The Time Of Death Becomes Free From Sin And Attains Salvation. Lord Krishna Himself Comes To Take The Person To His Supreme Abode.
Gita Is The Heart, The Soul, The Breath, And The Voice Form Of The Lord. No Austerity, Penance, Sacrifice, Charity, Pilgrimage, Vow, Fasting, And Continence Equals The Study Of Gita.
It Is Difficult For Any Ordinary Person Like Us, Or Even For The Great Sages And Scholars, To Understand The Deep And Secret Meaning Of The Gita. To Understand Gita Completely Is Like A Fish Trying To Fathom The Extent Of The Ocean, Or A Bird Trying To Measure The Sky. Gita Is The Deep Ocean Of The Knowledge Of The Absolute; Only The Lord Has A Complete Understanding Of It. Nobody, Other Than Lord Krishna Should Claim Authority On The Gita.
O Arjuna, Did You Listen To This With Single-Minded Attention? Has Your Delusion Born Of Ignorance Been Completely Destroyed? (18.72 )
When One Realizes Him By His Grace, The Knots Of Ignorance Are Loosened, All Doubts And Confusion Are Dispelled, And All Karma Is Exhausted (Muu 2.02.08 ). The True Knowledge Of The Supreme Being Comes Only By His Grace.
