Krishna's Final Message In The Gita
The concluding chapter of the Bhagwad Gita begins by Arjuna asking for definitions of the two est important concepts in Vedantanyasa, renunciation and tyaga, signation. Krishna says sannyasa is ing up desire-driven action while aga is giving up fruit of action. Corny to popular perception neither mnyasa nor tyaga implies giving up ion. Action continues, giving up two things that come inthe way of cellence in action-desire from the st and anxiety for the fruit which songs to the future. Desire is necessary to initiate tion. Without desire no action will undertake. Similarly, there is ways a fruit in mind before acting. owever, while executing action, 0% of the mind must be focussed on exaction. If at this time the mind eanders into the dead past or unarm future it is not concentrating on the present action. Action becomes faulty, lead ingto failure. The grandeur and magnificence of renunciation lies in growth to a higher dimension asa result of which the lower fascinations drop. It is giving up that which comes into he way of your success and happiness. The Gita asks you to remove the wrapper and relish the chocolate, remove the unpleasant aspects of life and enjoy the world. Renunciation is opening your mind to deeper and more fulfilling aspects of your personality while continuing to enjoy the lower joys. Yet it has been horribly misunderstood as mere giving up of things that are dear to us. As a result people have given up the Gita! Tyaga is of three kinds-satirical, orrajasika and tamasika. Abandoning obligatory action out of delusion tamasika. It is not tyaga at all. False orrajasika tyaga is giving up action that is troublesome, fearing physical discomfort. True or satirical tyaga is performance of obligatory action because it ought to be done, giving up attachment and fruit. Desire stands between you and your higher dimension. In fact, desire stands in the way of even obtaining objects of desire. In order to rise above desire you need to perform acts of yajna, sacrifice, tapa, penance and dana, charity. Yajna is acting in a spirit of service for a higher cause. The highest ideal is Self realisation. When your thoughts are anchored in the higher while you act in the world,the lower desires get starved and fall away.Tapa is going through the discipline required in order to achieve the ideal. A sportsperson has to keep fit, a musician needs to do riaz, a student must study Only then will you achieve the goal. When your mind is focussed on investing your energies towards the ideal you will not indulge in any thin that takes you away from the goal. Throwers desires thus vanish. In the final stage when you are on the verge of realisation you need to let go of the last thought, the mantra which is the last impediment. This is the final act of renunciation that takes you to the exalted state of realisation. Having givenall that is needed fon you to transform from an ordinary mortal to the extraordinary immort Krishna asks you to do as you wish. For the Gita is not a compilation of commandments; it is a presentation of facts. Itis now up to you to decide which way to go-remain imprison in the world or take off into the real of the Spirit.
