2.VISHNUSAHASTRANAM SHLOKA 2

10.Putatma

 Vishnu is the pure soul, beyond all qualities.  God is pure and pure consciousness beyond the  tamogun, rajoguna and sattvaguna.  God is free from these three gunas and from the imbalances and impurities created by them.
    Divinity resides in every person.  God is present in the form of consciousness of every person, in the form of his soul i.e. self.  When a person tries to get rid of his qualities(gunas) then his realization with God begins.  Its path is the path of yoga.  Recognizing the state of his gunas, when a person attains liberation from his qualities by following Karmayoga, Jnanayoga, Dhyana yoga, Bhaktiyoga, then despite being a body, he attains his self-realization beyond the body.  This is the state of divinity of  a person, the state of his divine manifestation, when his soul, his nirguna consciousness, becomes God's manifestation.

11. Parmatma
      Ishwar i.e. Vishnu is the Supreme Soul, that is, the Ultimate Soul.  That is, this is the ultimate limit of  consciousness beyond which there is no consciousness i.e. Ultimate Consciousness is God.
 Thus God is free from cause-effect, always in pure form, always in  Buddha's form i.e., in enlightened form and always free.  These are the divine features which are in the ultimate form of consciousness.

12.Muktanam Parama Gati:

 Until the Divine Consciousness does not come, one does not get freedom from the entanglements of life, but with the attainment of Divine Consciousness, one understands the real purpose of one's actions.  He is able to understand that the path of his salvation is the attainment of divine beings and this is his ultimate goal.  Only by worshiping Vishnu i.e. God, he gets these glories.  When one attains that level of self-realization by following the path of Yoga, then while performing action, being freed from the bondage of karma, one is able to achieve the ultimate goal, that is, liberation.

13.AVYAYAH
He who is not destroyed, who does not change, is the one who does not end.  So Vishnu i.e. God is not destroyed, He does not decay, there is no change in God.
        When a person reaches a stage where he forgets his ego and becomes situated in her/his Self, through Yogakarma, in that state he/she has become free from the body.  In that state the person becomes free from the body and becomes changeless and decayless.

14. Purushah
 The body is a house and the one who lives in this house is Purush.  In this way God takes the same shape that we give to Him through our imagination.  It is his soul that gives this body its movement and mind.  In this way, God is the soul residing in us, this is our movement and mind and it is our responsibility to take care of it and maintain its pure form.
      Purusha is also that which is primordial consciousness i.e. that which has been existing  prior to all.  That is, God is already present from eternity and is the cause of all.
 Purusha is also called one who is adorned with transcendental figures, who is full of special divine opulence.
     Purusha is the one who is the bearer of all actions, who according to our actions gives us their fruits.
 Thus we see that Vishnu i.e. God is also the reason for our existence in the form of Purusha, he is also our basic consciousness, he is also the one who bestows the transcendental personalities in us and because of that we also get the fruits of our actions.

15.Sakshi
   
       God is present in all, in the variable, in the constant, in the living being, in the non-living, so He is the knower of the original form of all without any medium.  He is a mere watcher, he does not interfere in their activities, but understands only by seeing their reality.  He is neither the cause nor the result of any of their actions, he is merely a witness of all their actions.
     When a person himself overcomes his/her  three gunas by following the path of yoga, then he/she himself/herself  comes to this state when he/she neither does any action for any reason nor is he/she the enjoyer of any action, but  only the watcher of his/her own actions.

16. Kshetragya

         Kshetra means body and the one who knows the secret of this body is called Kshetragya.  Ishwar i.e. Vishnu is said to be the knower of the Kshetra i.e. the body.  It is the body which represents the nature and its soul gives consciousness to this body from which this body, by making itself a medium, ventures into the salvation of the individual.  The body gets its meaning from its soul and the soul of the body is a part of the Supreme Lord.  So only God understands the meaning of the body, He also gives the meaning of life to this body.
       When a person, doing yoga, reaches a stage where he becomes aware of his self, that is, his soul beyond this body, then he is also in such a state that he can instruct this body as to what should be the action of this body.  A person can proceed on the path of salvation.

17.Akshar

     There is no end to God i.e. Vishnu.  It is eternal, imperishable, it does not decay.
 When a person attains self-realization, when one finds the expansion of God in his own soul, then he also has nothing to do with the decay of the body and that too exists beyond the body.

श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता अध्याय 3 श्लोक 35

श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता अध्याय 3 श्लोक 35 श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुणः परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात्‌।  स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेयः परधर्मो भयावहः॥ अच्छी प्रकार आचरण में लाए हुए दूसरे के धर्म से गुण रहित भी अपना धर्म अति उत्तम है। अपने धर्म में तो मरना भी कल्याणकारक है और दूसरे का धर्म भय को देने वाला है  ॥35॥ हमें स्मरण होगा कि श्रीकृष्ण ने अर्जुन को गीता के द्वितीय अध्याय के 31वें श्लोक में स्वधर्म के अनुसार कर्म करने की शिक्षा दे चुके हैं। एक बार पुनः हम उस शिक्षा पर बल दिया गया है। ये तो स्पष्ट हो चुका है कि प्रत्येक व्यक्ति की एक खास प्रकृति होती है और उसके कुछ खास गुण होते हैं और व्यक्ति की प्रकृति ही उसे उसकी कामनाएँ देती हैं जिनकी पूर्ति के लिए कर्म करता है। सो यदि व्यक्ति अपनी प्रकृति के अनुसार कर्म नहीं करता तो उसमें विकृति आ जाती है।  यँहा पर आवश्यक है कि हम द्वितीय अध्याय के श्लोक 31 को पुनः समझें। ""गीता अध्याय 2 श्लोक 31 ----------------------------------- स्वधर्ममपि चावेक्ष्य न विकम्पितुमर्हसि। धर्म्याद्धि युद्धाच्छ्रेयोऽन्यत्क्षत्रियस्य न विद्यते॥ तथा अपने धर्म को देखकर भी तू भय ...

Geeta Chapter 3.1

 Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3  Verse 1 (Elucidation of the excellence of performing prescribed duties with non-attachment according to Jnana Yoga and Karma Yoga) Arjuna said: jyāyasī cet karmaṇas te matā buddhir janārdana tat kiṁ karmaṇi ghore māṁ niyojayasi keśavaArjuna spoke- O Janardana! If knowledge is considered superior to action by You, then O Keshava! Why do You engage me in this terrible action? ॥1॥From the above background, it is clear that when we learn and know something, we do not easily accept it in the same form in which that thing, art, or knowledge comes to us. Rather, we take it and understand it according to our prejudices. We have some pre-existing thoughts in our mind and brain, and we mold the knowledge we receive according to those same thoughts. The result is that we cannot learn all that we could learn, and we accept the learned knowledge only according to our prejudices.Arjuna becomes a victim of despondency as soon as he arrives on the battlefield and dec...

श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता अध्याय 14. परिचय

श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता अध्याय 14 परिचय श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता की रचना अर्जुन के संशय को दूर करने के क्रम में हुई है। युद्ध क्षेत्र में युद्ध के लिए खड़े अर्जुन के मन में  युद्ध को लेकर कई प्रश्न उठने लगे थे और उसे युद्ध की निरर्थकता का भान हो रहा था, किन्तु युद्ध की निरर्थकता के लिए उसके जो तर्क थे वे युद्ध से कम और खुद उसके अपने संशय की वजह से अधिक थे। अर्जुन धर्म के विरुद्ध किसी भी आचरण को गलत मानता था और उसे संशय था कि यह युद्ध अर्जुन के लिए अधर्म का मार्ग खोलता है। उसके इसी संशय को दूर करने के लिए अर्जुन और कृष्ण के बीच जो सम्वाद हुआ वही श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता का रूप लेकर सामने आया। वस्तुतः कर्मक्षेत्र में हम सभी कई तरह की भ्रांतियों के शिकार होते हैं। ये भाँतियाँ इस  लिए हावी हो पाती हैं क्योंकि हम स्वयं के अस्तित्व को और स्वयं के साथ संसार के सम्बन्धों की बारीकियों को नहीं समझ पाते हैं। हम कौन हैं और इस संसार में हमारी भूमिका क्या है और क्यों है अगर हम यह समझ लें तो कोई भ्रम न रहे। किन्तु हम समझें कैसे कि हम कौन हैं, क्यों हैं? इसके लिए श्रीमद्भागवद्गीता में जो मार्ग सुझाया गया वह है ध्...
