Yog Via King Of Science
Lord Sri Krishna declared that devotion is the highest among all. yet the simplest path to attain yoga, or union with the Supreme. In this chapter, he reveals his supreme glory which inspires reverence, devotion and awe. Although Shri Krishna is standing in front of Arjuna in a corporeal form, he should not make the mistake of assuming a human personality.
In the beginning of creation, the Supreme Lord creates innumerable living entities by His material energy. And at the time- of dissolution, He absorbs them back into Himself and manifests them again in the next cycle of creation. The mighty winds that blaw everywhere, yet always remain within the sky All living beings reside within the Lord. However, He is always aloof from all these activities as a neutral observer by His divine Yogmaya Shakti. This knowledge of the self is the science and secret of kings. It is supreme, purifying, spontaneous, true to duty. pleasurable to perform and irreversible.
All other types of knowledge are good, but knowledge of self is the king of all-pervading knowledge. The art of government is the highest of all existing laws and of all knowledge the knowledge of Brahman is the best. The art of government is not a bad thing in Itself, but when selfish and mean people enter politics, the altruistic philosophy behind politics is lost. If the king rules the nation keeping in mind the interest of religion and society, then politics serves its real purpose, otherwise it becomes just a fight for power if there is true spirit in the politics of the country, then its effect can be easily seen in the people of the society. Similarly this knowledge of the Self is mysterious, pure, clearly fruitful and easy to obtain.
To resolve the apparent confusion of Hindu deities, Shri Krishna explains that there is only one God who deserves sole worship. He is the true friend, support, refuge and ultimate goal for all beings. Therefore souls who are engaged in unalloyed devotional service to the Supreme Lord go to His abode and reside there. Those affected by the rituals described in the Vedas also attain heaven. However, when their merit is exhausted, they must return to Earth. By saying this, Sri Krishna expounds the superiority of pure devotion directed towards Him alone. Such a devotee lives completely in harmony with the will of the Lord, does everything for Him and offers everything to Him. His pure devotion helps the devotees to attain mystical union with the Lord and frees them from the bondage of karma.
Sri Krishna claims that he is fair to all beings; he neither favors nor despises anyone. Even if petty sinners come under his shelter, he willingly accepts them and very quickly makes them pure and virtuous Shri Krishna then says that He resides within His devotees and will not allow them to be destroyed. He protects what they have and gives what they do not have. Therefore we should dedicate our mind and body to Him, worship Him, always think of Him and make Him our supreme goal.
Dedicate everything you do to the all-pervading God with devotion, and you too will become God.
