Wisdom for Enlightenment: Illustrated Bhagavad-Gita - Chapter 2
About this ebook
In verse 39 of this chapter Krishna turns to the practical knowledge of Yoga, dealing with the union of the lower self and the Higher Self. The exposition of Yoga found in the Gita makes it one of the three pillars of Yoga, along with the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Shiva Sutras.
Knowledge is the greatest purifier. The understanding through Sankhya and the experience through Yoga given in this chapter is sufficient to purify all of life.
The mediation Lord Krishna describes to Arjuna is known today as Transcendental Meditation (see www.tm.org), which takes the mind from the surface of life to the depth of our Being, thus transcending the field of activity to arrive at the silent source of dynamism. Regular experience of the Transcendent results in its stabilization during activity. Action supported by the Transcendent is effortless and has support of the enormous intelligence of Nature that organizes the tremendous dynamism of the universe without a problem.
