Gita reflection Ch 13 verses 26 & 27

 1st October 2024


The realization of the Self is not a mere intellectual pursuit. The important qualification for it is faith even in the path of knowledge as much it is so in the path of devotion.

Even those who do not have the intellectual acumen to independently engage in Self-inquiry and study, by following the words of advice from men of wisdom can certainly conquer death (get liberated).

The discrimination between the Self and non-Self is possible only under the guidance of a competent teacher even for those who have become erudite scholars.

Continuing on the topic of the field and knower of the field, Lord Krishna clarifies that nothing in the world can exist without the combination of the sentient Self and the matter.
