Summary of #ShreeBhagwatGita Adhyay 10- विभूतियोग

Krishna tells Arjuna that he's the Supreme manifestation of God.All other gods and spiritualistic humans are the manifestation of him.The highest form of worship is to enter state of divinity and to consider him the Supreme.(1/6)
Krishna describes himself as both the positive and negative attributes of universe, pleasure and pain, courage and fear. A person who can conceive Krishna as the source of all manifestations will escape from the cycle of rebirth and will attain moksh.(2/6)
Shri Krishna tells Arjuna,
"अहं सर्वस्य प्रभवो मत्त: सर्वं प्रवर्तते |
इति मत्वा भजन्ते मां बुधा भावसमन्विता: ||"

"I am the source or everything, from me everything evolves and thus the wise who understands this, worships me."(3.1/6)
Thus, Krishna claims that he is the cause of everything, material and spiritual. The spiritually intelligent, who possess all the attributes, affection, compassion, reciprocity, etc are endowed with a wonderful way of serving Krishna.(3.2/6)
Further, Shri Krishna tells Arjuna that, he(Krishna) is the Samveda amongst the vedas, and Indra amongst the celestial gods. Amongst the senses, he is mind and amongst the living beings he is the consciousness.(4/6)
"सर्गाणामादिरन्तश्च मध्यं चैवाहमर्जुन |
अध्यात्मविद्या विद्यानां वाद: प्रवदतामहम् ||"

"Know me(Krishna) to be the beginning, middle and the end of all creation. Amongst sciences, I'm the science of spirituality and in debates I'm the logical conclusion" (5.1/6)
Hence, Krishna is the creator(Adi), maintainer(madhya) and the end(anta) of the universe. Therefore, all these processes can be mediated upon as krishna's vibhutis(superhuman power).(5.2/6)
Shri Krishna concludes,
"अथवा बहुनैतेन किं ज्ञातेन तवार्जुन |
विष्टभ्याहमिदं कृत्स्नमेकांशेन स्थितो जगत् || "

"What's the need of the detailed knowledge? Simply understand that by one fraction of my being, I pervade and support the entire universe."(6.1/6)
Thus, the magnitude of Krishna's glory cannot be judged even from the sum total of what he has described in gita, for the entire creation of unlimited universes is held within a fraction of his being.(6.2/6)

In response to Arjuna's question about difference between Sanyasa and Tyaga shri Krishna provided several contemporary definitions of tyaga. He then enumerated three types of tyaga based on the three gunas.(1/n)

Summary of #ShriBhagwadGita Adhyay 15-पुरुषोत्तमयोग

This chapter summarizes the entire essence of not just Gita but also all the Vedas. It covers four topics:what is the world, who Krishna is, what is God and what is relationship between him, the world and God.(1/7)
Our existence in this world is illustrated using an upside down tree. The root of this tree is God, wielding the power of Prakriti, the Brahman, the eternal essence with attributes. Our existence in this world, is the outward growth of the tree.(2/7)
This growth is fueled by sense objects which are in the form off sprouts or buds. Each sense object guarantees desires, which generates actions, which binds us to rhe branches of the tree. The only way to get rid of the endless cycle of desire and action is(continue..)(3.1/7)

Summary of #ShreeBhagwatGita Adhyay 14- गुणत्रयविभागयोग

The three gunas sattva, rajas, and tamas are based upon a person's disposition. The gunas keep the eternal Self bound to the physical body. Sattva binds by attachment to knowledge and joy(continue...)(1.1/5)
...rajas by passion and activity, and tamas by laziness and sleep. Of the three, sattva has the power to uplift a person and lead to enlightenment because it is connected to wisdom. The other two create stasis, or drag a person down.(1.2/5)
Conversely, sattva without attachment can help a person leave the cycle of death and rebirth(attain moksh). Krishna names sattva as the "ruling trait" of a person who is on the path of understanding and knowledge.(2/5)

Humans experience physical world through these senses. The body is the representation of all these factors. he body is born, it grows, it stays, it produces by-products, then begins to decay, and at the last stage it dies. Therefore the field is a temporary material thing.(3/7)
