Gita reflection Ch 12 verses 1 & 2

8th September 2024


There has long been a divide between philosophers and believers regarding the nature of reality. Philosophers view God as a formless or universal presence, while believers see God as having a form.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna, having witnessed the cosmic form of Lord Krishna, asks a crucial question: 'There are those who worship you as one with attributes and others as immutable and unmanifest. Who is best among the two?'

Both groups ultimately seek to realize the same divine essence. The key qualification for this is faith.

Lord Krishna responds: 'Those who meditate on Me by fixing their minds on Me with steadfast devotion and possessing supreme faith – they are considered to be the most perfect yogis according to Me.'
