  • Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches Verses 14-17, from the fourth 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 4, Verse 14:
    न मां कर्माणि लिम्पन्ति न मे कर्मफले स्पृहा |
    इति मां योऽभिजानाति कर्मभिर्न स बध्यते || 14||
    na māṁ karmāṇi limpanti na me karma-phale spṛihā
    iti māṁ yo ’bhijānāti karmabhir na sa badhyate
    🔴Works do not taint me; I desire not their fruits. Whoso knows Me to be such, is not bound by works.
    🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4, Verse 15:
    एवं ज्ञात्वा कृतं कर्म पूर्वैरपि मुमुक्षुभि: |
    कुरु कर्मैव तस्मात्त्वं पूर्वै: पूर्वतरं कृतम् || 15||
    evaṁ jñātvā kṛitaṁ karma pūrvair api mumukṣhubhiḥ
    kuru karmaiva tasmāttvaṁ pūrvaiḥ pūrvataraṁ kṛitam
    🔴 Knowing thus was done by ancient seekers after liberation. Therefore you too do only work, as was done by the ancients in bygone days.
    🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4, Verse 16:
    किं कर्म किमकर्मेति कवयोऽप्यत्र मोहिता: |
    तत्ते कर्म प्रवक्ष्यामि यज्ज्ञात्वा मोक्ष्यसेऽशुभात् || 16||
    kiṁ karma kim akarmeti kavayo ’pyatra mohitāḥ
    tat te karma pravakṣhyāmi yaj jñātvā mokṣhyase ’śhubhāt
    🔴What is work? What is non-work? In respect of these questions the sages even are deluded. Therefore, I shall elucidate the nature of work, by knowing which you will be delivered from evil.
    🔆Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 4, Verse 17:
    कर्मणो ह्यपि बोद्धव्यं बोद्धव्यं च विकर्मण: |
    अकर्मणश्च बोद्धव्यं गहना कर्मणो गति: || 17||
    karmaṇo hyapi boddhavyaṁ boddhavyaṁ cha vikarmaṇaḥ
    akarmaṇaśh cha boddhavyaṁ gahanā karmaṇo gatiḥ
    🔴Indeed you ought to know about work; also you ought to know about bad work; and, besides you ought to know about non-work. Profound is the course of work.

    Srikrishna says in Bhagvat Gita chapter 4 verse 13 that human beings are categorized into four classes or varnaas. These classes are based on the 3 gunaas, and the corresponding action that each guna prompts us to do. Here the 3 Gunas are Sattava gun, Rajo gun and Thamogun. Srikishna never said that case is by birth but is based on the quality or spiritual level or you can say his/hers level of awareness. Tamo gun character kama (desire), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), Mada (arrogance), moha (delusion), and matsarya (jealousy), bhay( fear). Tamo gun can be compared to entropy( lack of order or randomness) .Sattva gun is unconditional love. Rajas is the driving energy. All living and non living things has these 3 gunas( qualities) . If a person is with his son who they love ( true love is synonym for unconditional) then his sattva guna will be predominant. His Rajas guna will generate the energy in him to do the act in character of the sattva guna. When the same person is encountering a person whom he hates then his tamo gun is in to action and it will act in as much force as he has Rajas gun. Each person should take up those responsibility in the society which is ideal for his composition( of the 3 gunas) . A saatvik person is able to transact higher amount of divine energy and can do a better job to program the dieties and enhance the energy field in temple. They are called brahmins.As you know temple and dieties is like a hospital where healing happens. There is a whole science behind temple architecture and Tantra. Those who has composition is saatvik but predominantly rajas has the drive and energy to do administration and they are called shaktriyas. Vayshyas has more tamas than satva and has moderate rajas. Shudra is predominantly tamas. These 3 gunas are associated with the vibrations of the energy body which inhabits the physical body. A person who is 100% saatvic cannot sustain in human body and they will transcend in to higher planes of existence, so a balancing composition is necessary for us to be in this body and live in the physical plane. It is similar to how electrons, neutrons and protons balance an atom. There are many planes of existence based on frequency of vibration of energy. A society is like an organism where each body part has its own function. A person in Sanathan dharma is like an organ in an organism and he/she fits himself in to appropriate job. A person who cleans drainage is no inferior to a person assigned to a job in temple. Over period of time when there came wealth imbalance, nepotism parents wanted their kids to have privilege over the others and the caste system got linked to lineage or by birth so that people can still hold on to the privileges they enjoy and pass it own to their children without any merit . The composition of gunas in you can be controlled using inputs to your mind ( positive thoughts), food you eat and spiritual practices. This is not an easy topic to understand. Brahman ( Vipra in Sanskrit) is the one who understood Brahman(the universal intelligence. pronunciation is different for this word and difficult to express sin English).

    Fulfilling desire within the limit of ethics, is that not seeking desire still?
    What I understand about this verse is to have a single desire of God in all actions only then, i can be free or else I will be in pain if the desire is not fulfilled.

    27:42 in dream, the dream brain seems to have produced the dreamer. In the dream, is the mind the controller of the dream or is the dream the controller of the mind? Well from the dreamer's perspective the dream world is jostling him around and he had no control and maybe an alien hijacks him there orsomething. But then, when you wake up, really you see the real mind (not present anywhere in the dream) was the entire existence of the unreal dream. Remember when walking up tmin the morning suddenly smooth shift. ...

      Apparently: Body-mind acts, Consciousness does not act. The Lord acts, the Jivas cannot act without His will. The person who surrendered his works to God is said to be doing "karma without desire" and that is non action. Work for desire then it is action.

    Two quick questions for the swami:
    1. If the Vern is not decided by the ancestry then why Sri Krishna warns about the dangers of "vern-sankarta", inter-mixing of ancestry?
    2. If the Vern is just a mental make up of a person then why Krishna did not allow Arjun to become a monk when his mental make up changed? When did Arjun "made a choice" to become a king, not a monk?
    Caste is a derogatory word used by the British and the West to humiliate the vedic tradition. An appropriate word would be "the type", or the ancestry, or just the Vern, pronounced like fern. vern, vernacular,..does it make sense
