Gita reflection Ch 10 verses 5 & 6

23rd July 2024


  • Lord Krishna continues to list more qualities for which He is the source: non-injury, equanimity, satisfaction, austerity, charity, fame, and infamy.
  • Although we all have these qualities to some extent, they are usually expressed when prompted by external circumstances or due to our inherent tendencies acquired over many lifetimes.
  • Vedanta teaches us that to create anything, both a material cause and an efficient cause are required, just like a potter needs clay and expertise to make a pot. For the creation of the Universe, both are necessary, and both are aspects of God Himself.
  • Lord Krishna enlightens Arjuna that His mind is the origin of creation. "The seven great sages and the four Manus of ancient days are born of My mind, as they had their thoughts fixed on Me to create this Universe."
