14 May 2025 Gita 5.15 – Reflection The Self does not act, enjoy, or suffer—it merely witnesses. But veiled by ignorance, we mistake the body and mind as “I,” claiming every action, pride, guilt, or pain. This false identity fuels bondage. The Gita teaches: You are not the doer. Recognize this, and you’re free from the weight of karma. Begin observing your actions with detachment. Let go of “I did,” “I failed,” “I deserve.” Return to the stillness of your real Self—pure, untouched awareness. In that realization, freedom dawns—not in inaction, but in unshakable clarity amidst action.
13 May 2025 We often think, “I act,” “They caused this,” or “I am responsible.” But in Gita 5.14, Krishna invites us to go deeper. The Self—the real ‘I’—does not act or cause action. It merely witnesses. All actions arise from nature (prakriti), through the body, senses, and mind. Our ego wrongly claims doer-ship, creating bondage and stress. This verse gently detaches us from that illusion. When we realize that the Self is untouched by action, we become freer, calmer, and more aligned with truth.
17 May 2025 Bhagavad Gita 5.18 teaches the essence of true wisdom: seeing all beings with equal vision. A sage sees no essential difference between a learned Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, or even an outcast. Why? Because beneath all forms lies the same divine consciousness—Brahman. This vision doesn’t deny diversity; it transcends it. It dismantles ego, judgment, and the illusion of superiority. When we see all as expressions of the same source, compassion flows naturally, and inner peace follows. Equal vision is not naivety—it is clarity. It’s the hallmark of a mind awakened to the unity behind all difference.
15 May 2025 Bhagavad Gita 5.16 — What Self-Knowledge Does Even the learned are confused about what action (karma) does. Action cannot destroy ignorance — only knowledge can. Just as darkness yields only to light, ignorance of the Self dissolves only in Self-Knowledge (jnana). Rituals, worship, and pilgrimages are actions — they purify, but they don’t liberate. Suffering persists until we know who we truly are. Krishna urges us to go beyond doing, into knowing. When we understand the Self — ever-free, ever-full — action loses its grip, and confusion ends.
11 May 2025 The verse (V.13) teaches the attitude of inner renunciation. A wise person, though acting in the world, mentally withdraws from the sense of doership. Residing in the body, he understands that all actions are performed by the senses and mind, not by the true Self (Ātman), which remains untouched and pure. This insight brings freedom. Even while engaged in duties, the person is inwardly detached, knowing, “I do nothing.” Like a lotus in muddy water, he lives in the world but is not entangled by it. This verse is about freedom through wisdom, not physical withdrawal.
16 May 2025 Those who fix their intellect on the Supreme, align their identity with it, and stay devoted to this higher truth gradually burn away ignorance through knowledge. Their impurities fall away—not through rituals or blind belief, but through clarity and inner conviction. These seekers don’t return to the cycle of birth and death. They attain liberation. This verse sets the foundation for understanding Brahman—not as a concept, but as a reality we must tune into through reflection, dedication, and self-awareness.
19 May 2025 Mastery Over Desire and Anger – Bhagavad Gita 5.26 teaches that oneness with Brahman is attained by those free from desire and anger. These emotions, when unchecked, cloud judgment and provoke impulsive actions. Anger arises from unfulfilled desires, and Krishna urges seekers to practice restraint rather than suppression. Scriptures stress avoiding impulsive speech and action, even when emotion is present. True discipline lies in recognizing inner agitation and responding with awareness. Such self-mastery leads to lasting peace and spiritual freedom. This verse reminds us that liberation is not found in escape from the world, but in mastering our emotions with calm, clarity, and purpose.
18 May 2025 Sama Darsanam means staying anchored in the shared consciousness behind all beings, without getting caught up in surface differences. It’s not escapism; it’s awakening. Many traditions promise liberation only after death—entry into some divine realm like Śiva Loka, Viṣṇu Loka, or eternal heaven. But Krishna says liberation is possible here and now. When we see the one consciousness shining through all diversity, we rise above the fleeting world. This is true freedom—not in some faraway place, but in our direct experience of unity. Liberation begins the moment we stop seeing “other.”
12 May 2025 na kartṛtvaṁ na karmāṇi lokasya sṛjati prabhuḥ | na karma-phala-saṁyogaṁ svabhāvas tu pravartate || 5.14 || The Ātma—pure consciousness—neither creates doership, nor actions, nor the connection to their results. Then who acts? Svabhāvaḥ pravartate—it is the innate nature of the body and mind to act when exposed to consciousness. Due to self-ignorance, this activity is falsely attributed to the Self, and the individual wrongly claims ownership of actions and outcomes. This mistaken identity creates the illusion of bondage. A wise person understands the true nature of Ātma—as actionless, untouched, and ever-free.
When the seeker awakens to the aathmathathvam—the witness-consciousness beyond action and experience—the ego (ahamkaara) fades like a dream upon waking. This inner renunciation, called aanthara sanyaasam, unfolds as the ‘I’ and ‘mine’ dissolve, revealing the Self as ever-free, untouched by doing or possessing. No longer bound by identity or attachment, the seeker abides in peace, rooted in the eternal. Lord Krishna highlights this subtle detachment in Chapter 5, verses 13–21, showing that true freedom is not in outer withdrawal, but in releasing the inner clinging to ego and ownership. Thus, one lives in the world, but remains ever-liberated.
