Summary

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 11-12 from the Thirteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The Song of God".


🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 11:

अध्यात्मज्ञाननित्यत्वं तत्वज्ञानार्थदर्शनम् |

एतज्ज्ञानमिति प्रोक्तमज्ञानं यदतोऽन्यथा ||11||

adhyātma-jñāna-nityatvaṁ tattva-jñānārtha-darśhanam

etaj jñānam iti proktam ajñānaṁ yad ato ’nyathā ||11||


🔴 Constant application to the study of spiritual texts and practice of spiritual disciplines, and a clear comprehension of the goal of spiritual enlightenment and the destiny of man - all these described before constitute knowledge; what is opposed to it is all ignorance.


🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 12:

ज्ञेयं यत्तत्प्रवक्ष्यामि यज्ज्ञात्वामृतमश्रुते |

अनादिमत्परं ब्रह्म न सत्तन्नासदुच्यते ||12||

jñeyaṁ yat tat pravakṣhyāmi yaj jñātvāmṛitam aśhnute

anādi mat-paraṁ brahma na sat tan nāsad uchyate ||12||


🔴 I shall now declare the object which ought to be known, by knowing which one attains to immortality. It is the Supreme Brahman, the eternal Being who cannot be described either as existent or non-existent (in the way sense-bound material objects are described)
