Gita reflection Ch 6 verses 46 & 47

4th June 2024


  • A person who transcends the mind through meditation is greater than someone who practices severe austerities. Austerities are meant to control the movements of the mind, not to transcend it.
  • A scholar may have erudition in Self-knowledge but lacks practical experience. On the other hand, a meditator may not have extensive knowledge but applies whatever he learned into practice and gains true benefit from it.
  • A person of action may achieve success or even reach the heavens but will eventually return to earth when their merits are exhausted. However, a meditator who renounces all actions will proceed to achieve complete liberation of the soul.
  • The fulfillment of meditation lies in undivided love for the Self. This love manifests as the Lord of one's own heart, which one takes as support with utmost faith on the path to liberation.
