Vedanta Talks - Swami Sarvapriyananda

Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 26-28 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 26:

यावत्सञ्जायते किञ्चित्सत्वं स्थावरजङ्गमम् |

क्षेत्रक्षेत्रज्ञसंयोगात्तद्विद्धि भरतर्षभ ||26||

yāvat sañjāyate kiñchit sattvaṁ sthāvara-jaṅgamam

kṣhetra-kṣhetrajña-sanyogāt tad viddhi bharatarṣhabha ||26||

🔴 O thou the best of the Bharata clan! Whatever there is born - whether moving or unmoving - it has come into being due to the union of Ksetra (body) and Ksetrajna (spirit).

🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 27:

समं सर्वेषु भूतेषु तिष्ठन्तं परमेश्वरम् |

विनश्यत्स्वविनश्यन्तं य: पश्यति स पश्यति ||27||

samaṁ sarveṣhu bhūteṣhu tiṣhṭhantaṁ parameśhvaram

vinaśhyatsv avinaśhyantaṁ yaḥ paśhyati sa paśhyati ||27||

🔴 He really sees who perceives the Supreme Lord alike in everything -- as the Imperishable Substance abiding amidst perishing phenomena.

🔆 Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 13 Verse 28:

समं पश्यन्हि सर्वत्र समवस्थितमीश्वरम् |

न हिनस्त्यात्मनात्मानं ततो याति परां गतिम् || 28||

samaṁ paśhyan hi sarvatra samavasthitam īśhvaram

na hinasty ātmanātmānaṁ tato yāti parāṁ gatim || 28||

🔴 For, he who perceives the Lord's presence alike everywhere no longer works against his own spiritual well-being (by mistaking the ego for the true spiritual Self as men in ignorance do). He therefore attains to the Supreme Goal.
