The Gist of Gita
(Gita ka Taatparya)
continued ......
While dealing with the world, one can attain enlightenment, devotion and love of God. One can attain Union with God. One can attain Layayog (yoga of rhythmic unison) , Rajyog (Yog of Sovereign science), Mantra Yog and various other Yogs.
Such exceptional knowledge is provided in the Gita! What is that exceptional knowledge? I will attempt to explain that. In any dealings we have, let go of any insistence where there is selfishness and pride involved, and do everything for the welfare and supreme good of the other person. The meaning of doing everything, while seeing to the welfare of the other means, that even at present it is for his supreme good and in the future too it is for his supreme good. We too are benefited and others too are benefited and attain their supreme good. One must perform all work, having such a view. By doing so, one can very
easily attain God Realization. By performing spiritual practices and austerities for many years, while staying in solitude, that very same Essence that has been attained by the Sages and contemplative Ones, can be attained by leading one’s life according to the Gita. In accomplishments and non-accomplishments, remaining even-minded, doing one’s duty is itself leading a life as per the Gita. Gita says -

"Sukh dukh samey krtvaa laabhaalaabhau
jayaajayou
jayaajayou
Tato yudhyaa yujjyasva naivam paapmavaapyasi." (Gita 2:38)
"Maintaining equanimity in victory - failure, gains - losses, happiness - sorrow, you must engage in battle. Fighting in this manner, by fulfilling your duty, you will not incur any sin.
Yogastha kuru karmaani sangtyaktaa dhananjaya
sidhyasidhyoh samo bhootvaa samatvam yog ucchyate ॥
O Arjuna ! renouncing attachment perform actions by being steadfast in equaminity; because equanimity is called Yoga.
The world is in the form of actions and objects. For the attainment of God, it is essential to server relationship with actions and objects. For this Gita has shared the means to server relationship with actions and objects from the perspective of all the three yogas - Karmayog, Jnanayog and Bhaktiyog. Just as a karmayog renounces attachment with actions and objects by applying it to the welfare of others; Jnanayogi becomes detached from actions and objects and Bhaktiyogi surrenders actions and objects to God. By surrendering all actions and objects to God, man becomes easily released from worldly bondage and realizes God. By surrendering everything to God, it is not that the actions and objects will not remain, rather they will become very pure. In the same way, those things that we do not regard as ours and consider them to be for the service of others, those things become extremely pure and those things that we regard as only for us, those things become extremely impure.
