Introduction
I first came across the Bhagavad Gita in 1983 when I
was the Principal of a private high school in Yaoundé,
Cameroon. I was 25 then, seven years since my first
year at the university when I had started an unrelenting
researched in every library within reach to find out what,
who and why I am. There was no internet in those days
and information had to be got from solid books and any
worthy correspondence was through snail-mail. My
research had brought me into contact with many
mystical schools and occult dogmas, all of which could
not placate my quest, and none of which I could adhere
to. However, through this quest, I had acquired
knowledge of some unexplained phenomena, so that
backed up by my scientific education; I became quite
prodigious at explaining things that were miracles and
mysteries to most men.
A colleague and bosom friend, with whom I shared
lodgings, who was a national radio broadcast journalist,
thought that I could benefit the world, if he could call me
up as a guest, on his Saturday morning radio programs
and question me about “The Mysterious Unknown”.
After I had featured in the program for about six times, a
gentleman of nearly double my age, who had been
trained in Russia as a radio systems engineer,
interviewed me on that radio program concerning the
Bermuda Triangle and UFO phenomena. He was so
captivated by my explanations that he stuck to me for
weeks on end, pestering me incessantly with questions
about mysteries such as instantaneous human
combustion, the astral world, alien species and spiritual
healing among others.
After about a month or so, that gentleman, Idriss, for
that was his name, a Muslim by faith, brought to me
direct translations into English of the BHAGAVAD GITA
and the TAO TE CHING. Both were publications of the
Theosophical Society and quite foreign to my own type
of literature. Idriss told me to read them and then return
them to him as soon as I was through. I have never
seen Idriss again since then, even after much effort to
locate him.
Since the loss of Idriss, I have acquired many other
English translations of these works. The original copies
in Sanskrit and Chinese mean nothing to me. I am no
linguist and I am not interested in philosophical dogmas
or creed-based disciplines. Whenever I come across a
new idea while reading, I look deep into my soul and
endeavour to make out how it resonates with my own
truth, thoughts and convictions. Then I adopt, adapt or
discard the idea without any judgement whatever.
The following work is my personal interpretation, and
not a translation, of the Bhavagad Gita. All the views,
words, ideas and concepts portrayed in it are entirely
mine. They have not been copied from anywhere: they
are personal interpretations of facts and concepts
obtained through numerous readings and meditations
on various English translations of the Bhagavad Gita.
I am not an authority in this matter. Nothing is hereby
claimed by me as being true or binding; nor is this work
a recommendation to anyone for practice. I pray the
reader to adopt a heartfelt personal attitude while
reading and hope that this humble work will incite a
positive change for each life-stream that comes into
contact with it.
For YOU to whom this present comes: Ascend to your
multi-dimensional Self!
LOVE, FREEDOM AND PEACE
I. Confusion and Dejection
Dhritarashtra: Sanjaya, what did my sons and the sons
of Pandu do, when they congregated on the inviolable
plain of Kurukshetra prepared for war against each
other?
ARJUNA
O Lord of Earth, put my chariot between the two armies,
so that I may observe those who are prepared for battle,
who I have to fight with. I want to those who have
gathered here prepared for battle, so as to satisfy the
martial inclination of the malevolent son of Dhritarashtra.
ARJUNA
O Krishna seeing these blood-relations amassed and
impatient for the fight, my limbs, become lethargic and
my mouth is patched; my body shudders, and my hair
stands on end. Gandiva slips from my hand and my
skin burns. My mind is whirling and I am unable to
stand. I foresee harmful portents, O Krishna and I do
not desire victory, neither for dominion nor for pleasures.
KRISHNA
From where, in such a time of crisis, O Arjuna, has this
depression that shuts one out from heaven, produces
dishonour and indecency in a person of noble birth,
come upon you? Do not be unmanly, O son of Kunti. It
does not suit you. Shake off this despicable impotence
of heart, arise, O castigator of enemies.
ARJUNA
O slayer of Madhu, how can I attack Bhishma and
Drona who are worthy of reverence with projectiles in
battle? It is better to survive in this world with a beggar’s
income than to kill these noble teachers. I would only be
enjoying blood-stained pleasures if I slay my preceptors,
greedy for wealth as they may be! Which is better:
should we defeat them or should they conquer us? After
Killing these or even the sons of Dhritarashtra facing us
in battle, we will not want to continue living. My heart is
weighed down by compassion and my mind is confused
about duty. Tell me what is best for me. I am your
disciple. Please, instruct me, I seek your assistance.
Whether I acquire an empire on Earth or the very
monarchy of heaven, I doubt that this will dissipate the
anguish which will overpower me after I slaughter my
preceptors and kinsmen
"KRISHNA
You mourn for those that are unworthy of your of
mourning, yet you speak the words of the so-called
wise. Those that are really wise, grieve neither for the
dead nor for the living. There has never been a time
when I or you or those rulers of men never were; there
will never be a time in future when we shall cease to be.
He who dwells in a body experiences childhood, youth,
old age and then passes on to another body. The wise
man is never doubtful of this.
KRISHNA
When one abandons all the desires of his heart and is
self-satisfied within, that one is of steady mind. He
whose mind is not distraught by calamities, whose
desire for pleasure is absent, who is released from
attachment to materialistic objects, fear and wrath, is a
Sage of stable mind. His is of steadiness of mind who is
without affection everywhere, and who has neither
exaltation nor aversion on obtaining what is agreeable
and disagreeable. Withdrawing his senses from their
objects like a tortoise its limbs, his mind is steady.
Senses objects may fall back from an abstinent person,
but the feeling for those objects may not. Passion falls
away from one who has seen the supreme.
KRISHNA
O sinless one, I have already said that in this world,
there are two kinds of devotion: that which is through
knowledge and that which is through work. A man
cannot get freedom from work by not doing work. He
cannot acquire final emancipation through renunciation
of work. No one can stay even for a moment without
working. The man, who is deluded, limits the sense
organs but mentally cares for sense objects; he is a
hypocrite. He who uses his mind to restrain his senses
and engages in devotion as work with the organs of
work, and is free from attachment, is distinguished
above all. Therefore, always apply yourself to work, for
action is better than inaction.
ARJUNA
O son of the Vrishni, what compels a man to commit sin
even though unwillingly and as if under compulsion?
KRISHNA
It is desire, it is wrath, born of the attribute of emotion; it
is all devouring and is very sinful. This is your enemy in
this world. Fire is enveloped by smoke, a mirror by dust,
the foetus by the womb, so sin is enveloped by desire.
Knowledge, O son of Kunti, is enveloped by this
constant enemy of the wise in the form of desire which
is unquenched like a fire. The senses, the mind and the
understanding are said to be its home. With these it
deludes the embodied self, cloaking knowledge.
ARJUNA
You were born after Vivaswan. How shall I understand
that you had first declared it?
KRISHNA
Arjuna, many of my births have expired, as are yours. I
know all of these, but you do not. Although I am not
born and I am of substance that does not deteriorate;
although I am Lord of all creatures, relying on my own
nature, I take birth through my powers of semblance.
Whenever righteousness is lost, O Bharata, and the rise
of unrighteousness comes about, I embody on those
occasions. In order to protect the righteous and destroy
evil doers and in order to re-establish Piety, I am born
age after age. One who truly knows my divine birth and
harmonises with such, discarding his body, is not born
again; but comes to me, O Arjuna. Many that are
extricated from attachment, fear and rage; who are
charged with me, and relying on me, cleansed by
knowledge and asceticism, attain my essence.
The man whose efforts are all free from desire and
intent, and whose actions have been exhausted by
wisdom is called wise by the learned. Whoever, gives
up all attachment to the fruit of action, always calm and
independent, does nothing although engaged in action.
The man, without desire, whose mind and the senses
are controlled, casting off all anxiety, carrying through
actions only for the preservation of the body, does not
incur sin.
KRISHNA
The abandonment of actions and the performance of
actions both lead to freedom. Of these, the performance
of action is superior to its rejection. He is an ascetic
who has neither aversion nor desire. Being free from
duality, O you of mighty arms, one is easily released
from the bonds of action. Fools, not those that are wise,
say that knowledge and devotion are separate. One
who practices one of the two reaps the fruit of both.
Whatever is attained through knowledge is also
reached through devotion. He sees clearly who sees
knowledge and devotion as one. But renunciation, O
mighty-armed one, without devotion to action, is hard to
attain.
Yoga is not for one who eats too much, nor is it for one
who eats very little. It is not for who sleeps too much,
nor who is too often awake. Yoga that destroys misery
is for the one who is moderate in food, amusements
and in all his works, and who is temperate in sleep and
wakefulness. When the heart, properly restrained, is
fixed on SELF, indifferent to objects of desire, one is
declared harmonised. In the absence of wind, a lamp
does not flicker; this is likened to a devotee whose heart
has been restrained and who absorbed in the yoga of
SELF. That condition in which the mind, restrained by
practice of yoga of SELF, takes rest, beholding self by
SELF, one is gratified within SELF where one
experiences Ecstasy which is beyond the senses and
which Reason alone can grasp. Fixed on this one
never deviates from the truth; no other acquisition
greater than it, and abiding in it one is never moved by
even the greatest unhappiness. This condition is called
yoga in which there is a severance of connection with
suffering.
Devotion should be practised with persistence and with
a resolute disposition. Renouncing all desires without
exception that are born of resolves, restraining the
group of the senses on all sides by mind alone, one
should, by slow degrees, become quiescent (aided) by
(his) understanding controlled by patience, and then
directing his mind to self should think of nothing. Where
so ever the mind, which is (by nature) restless and
unsteady, may run, restraining it from those, one should
direct it to self alone. Indeed, unto such a devotee
whose mind is in tranquillity, whose passions have been
suppressed, who has become one with The Eternal and
who is free from sin, the highest felicity comes (of his
own accord). Thus applying his soul constantly (to
abstraction), the devotee, freed from sin, easily obtains
that highest happiness, viz., with The Eternal. He, who
has devoted his self to contemplation, casting an equal
eye everywhere, sees his self in all creatures and all
creatures in his self; beholding me in everything and
beholding everything in me. I am never lost to him and
he also is never lost to me. He who worships me as
abiding in all creatures, holding yet that all is one, is a
devotee, and whatever mode of life he may lead, he
lives in me. That devotee, O Arjuna: who casts an equal
eye everywhere, regarding all things as his own self
and the happiness and misery of others as his own, is
deemed to be the best.'
ARJUNA
This devotion by means of equanimity which you hast
declared, O slayer of Madhu,--on account of
restlessness of the mind I do not see its stable
presence. O Krishna the mind is restless, boisterous,
perverse, and obstinate. Its restraint I regard to be as
difficult of accomplishment as the restraint of the wind.'
KRISHNA
Without doubt, O you of mighty arms the mind is difficult
of subjugation and is restless. With practice, however,
O son of Kunti, and with the abandonment of desire, it
can be controlled. It is my belief that by him whose mind
is not restrained, devotion is difficult of acquisition. But
by one whose mind is restrained and who is assiduous,
it is capable of acquisition with the aid of means.'
ARJUNA
Without assiduity, though endued with faith, and with
mind shaken off from devotion, what is the end of him,
O Krishna who has not earned success in devotion?
Fallen off from both, is he lost like a separated cloud or
not, being as he is without refuge, O you of mighty arms,
and deluded on the path leading to The Eternal? This
doubt, O Krishna you should remove without leaving
anything. Besides you, no dispeller of this doubt is to be
had.
KRISHNA
O son of Pritha, neither here, nor hereafter, doth ruin
exist for him, since none who performs good acts
comes to an evil end. Attaining to the regions reserved
for those that perform meritorious acts and living there
for many, many years, he that has fallen off from
devotion takes birth in the abode of those that art pious
and endued with prosperity, or, he is born even in the
family of devotees endued with intelligence. Indeed, a
birth such as this is more difficult of acquisition in this
world. There in those births he obtains contact with that
knowledge of The Eternal which was his in his former
life; and from that point he strives again, O descendant
of Kuru, towards perfection. And although unwilling, he
still works on in consequence of that same former
practice of his. Even one that enquires of devotion rises
above the fruits of the Divine Word. Striving with great
efforts, the devotee, cleaned of all his sins, attains to
perfection after many births, and then reaches the
supreme goal. The devotee is superior to ascetics
engaged in austerities; he is esteemed to be superior to
even the man of knowledge. The devotee is superior to
those that are engaged in action. Therefore, become a
devotee, O Arjuna. Even amongst all the devotees, he
who, full of faith and with inner self resting on me,
worships me and is regarded by me to be the most
devout.
VII. How to Attain Spiritual Acumen
KRISHNA
Listen, O son of Pritha, how without doubt, you may
know me fully, fixing your mind on me, practising
devotion, and taking refuge in me. I will now truly speak
to you about knowledge and experience, knowing which
there would be left nothing in this world for you to know.
One among Thousands of men strives for perfection. Of
all those that are persevere to attain perfection, only
one knows me truly. Earth, water, fire, air, space, mind,
understanding and awareness are my eight-fold form of
lower nature. Different from this there is a higher form of
my nature which is animate and by which this universe
is upheld. All creatures have these two natures as their
source. I am the source of the evolution and dissolution
of the entire universe.
KRISHNA
The Eternal is Supreme, indestructible and eternal.
Adhyatma, self-knowledge is said to be its own
manifestation. The offering to any divinity in a sacrifice
which causes the production and development of all is
called action. Remembering me alone in his last
moments, he that, casting off his body, departs hence,
comes into my essence. There is no doubt in this.
Whichever divinity one remembers when one casts off,
at the end, his body, unto that one he goes, O son of
Kunti, having habitually meditated on it always.
Therefore, think of me at all times, and engage in battle.
ARJUNA
You are the Supreme, the Eternal, the Supreme Abode,
the Holiest of the Holy, the eternal Male Being Divine,
the First of Unborn extra-terrestrials, the Lord. All the
Ascended Masters proclaim you thus, and also the
celestial ascended Masters Narada, Asita, Devala and
Vyasa; and now you also tell me so. All this that you tell
me, I regard as true since, O Holy One, neither the
Extra-terrestrial beings nor the Demi-gods understand
your manifestation. You alone know yourself by yourself.
O Creator of all things; Lord of all things, God of Extra-
terrestrial beings, Lord of the Universe, you should to
declare without any reservation, those divine
perfections of yours by which perfections you pervade
the worlds in which you abide. How shall I, ever
meditating, know you, O you of mystic powers, in what
particular conditions may you be meditated upon by me?
Please, kindly repeat in detail your mystic powers and
your perfections, because I am never satisfied with
hearing your sweet arguments.
KRISHNA
Well, unto you I will declare my divine perfections, by
means of the principal ones among them, for there is no
end to the extent of my perfections. I am the soul, O
you of curly hair, seated in the heart of every being, I
am the beginning, and the middle, and the end of all
beings. I am Vishnu among the Adityas, the resplendent
Sun among all luminous bodies; I am Marichi among
the Maruts, and the Moon among heavenly bodies that
shine in the sky at night. I am the Supreme Veda
among the Vedas; I am Vasava among the Extra-
terrestrial beings; I am the mind among the senses and
the intellect in living beings.
I am Sankara among the Rudra extra-terrestrial beings,
the Lord of treasures among the Yakshas and the semi
human beings; I am Pavaka among the Vasus extra-
terrestrial beings and Meru among the peaked
mountains. Know me, O son of Pritha, to be Vrihaspati,
the chief of household priests. I am Skanda among
commanders of forces. I am Ocean among receptacles
of water. I am Bhrigu among the great Ascended
Masters; I am the one indestructible syllable OM among
words. Of sacrifices I am the Japa-sacrifice. Of
stationary bodies I am the Himalayas. I am the fig tree
among all trees; I am Narada among the celestial
Ascended Masters.
KRISHNA
Behold, O son of Pritha, my forms by hundreds and
Thousands; various, divine, diverse in description and
form. Behold the various types of extra-terrestrial
beings - the Adityas, the Vasus, the Rudras, the Aswins,
and the Maruts. Behold, O Bharata, innumerable
marvels unseen before by you. Behold the entire
universe of mobile and immobile worlds, collected
together in this body of mine, whatever else you may
wish to see. You are however, not competent to see me
with physical eyes. I give you celestial sight. Behold my
sovereign mystic nature!
ARJUNA
I behold all the Extra-terrestrial beings, O God, as also
all the varied hosts of creatures, and The Eternal
seated on his lotus seat with all the Ascended Masters
and the celestial serpents. I behold you with
innumerable arms, stomachs, mouths, and eyes on
every side, O you of infinite forms. Neither end nor
middle, nor also beginning of yours do I behold, Lord of
the universe, O you of universal form. Bearing your
diadem, mace, and discus, a mass of energy, glowing
on all sides, I see that you cannot be gazed at: imbued
on all sides with the brightness and immensity of the
blazing Sun. You are indestructible, the Supreme
purpose of this universe. You are without decay, the
guardian of eternal virtue. I regard you to be the eternal
male Being. I behold you to be without beginning,
middle or end; of infinite proficiency, of innumerable
arms; having the Sun and the Moon for your eyes, the
blazing fire for your mouth, and heating this universe
with energy of your own. The space between heaven
and earth is pervaded by you alone, as also all the
points of the horizon.
KRISHNA
Death, destroyer of worlds now fully established I am
now engaged in slaying the race of men. If you were not
here all these warriors standing in the different divisions
shall cease to be. Therefore, arise, gain glory, vanquish
the foe and enjoy this swelling kingdom. All these have
already been slain by me. You are only my instrument;
O you that can draw the bow with even your left hand.
Drona and Bhishma, and Jayadratha, and Karna, and
also other heroic warriors, already slain by me, you will
slay. Be not dismayed, fight; you shall conquer in battle
your foes.
ARJUNA
It is appropriate, O Krishna that the universe is
delighted and charmed in pronouncing your praise and
the semi human beings flee in fear in all directions, and
the hosts of the Siddhas bow down to you. And why
should they not, O Supreme Soul, that are better than
even The Eternal and the original cause? You that is
Infinite, God of Extra-terrestrial beings, sanctuary of the
universe, indestructible; you are that which is, that
which is not and that which is beyond both. You are the
First God, the ancient male being; you are the Supreme
refuge of this universe. You are the Knower, the Object
to be known and the highest dwelling. This universe is
pervaded by you, O you of infinite form. You are Vayu,
Yama, Agni, Varuna, Moon, Prajapati and Grandsire.
Obeisance to you, times again and yet again,
obeisance to you. Let Obeisance be given to you in
front, from behind, and from every side; you who is all,
of infinite energy and prowess that is immeasurable.
You embrace the All.
KRISHNA:
Pleased with you, O Arjuna I have, by my own mystic
power, shown you this supreme form, full of glory,
Universal, Infinite, Primeval, which has been seen
before by none except you. Except by you alone, hero
of Kuru's race, I cannot be seen in this form in the world
of men by anyone else, assisted even by the study of
the Vedas and of sacrifices, by gifts, by actions, or by
the toughest austerities. Let no fear be yours, nor
perplexity of mind at seeing this awful form of mine.
Freed from fear with a joyful heart, you again see me
assuming that other form.
ARJUNA
Beholding this gentle human form of yours, O Krishna I
have now become of right mind and have come to my
normal state.
KRISHNA
This form of mine which you hast seen is difficult of
being seen. Even the Extra-terrestrial beings are always
desirous of becoming spectators of this (my) form. Not
by the Vedas, nor by austerities, nor by gifts, nor by
sacrifices, can I be seen in this form of mine which you
hast seen. By reverence, however, that is exclusive (in
its objects), O Arjuna I can in this form be known, seen
truly, and attained to, O chastiser of foes. He who doth
everything for me, who has me for his supreme object,
who is freed from attachment, who is without enmity
towards all beings, even he, O Arjuna comes to me.
XII. The Vow to Transcend
ARJUNA
Which among those worshippers who are constantly
devoted in adoring you, and those who meditate on you
as the absolute and Un-manifest, are best acquainted
with Yoga.
KRISHNA
They that constantly adore me, fixing their mind on me,
imbued with the highest faith, are considered by me to
be the most devoted. They, who worship the Immutable,
the Intangible, the All-pervading, the Inconceivable, the
Indifferent and the Eternal; who restraining all the
senses, are equal-minded and occupied with the good
of all creatures; these also come to me. It is more
difficult for those whose minds are fixed on the
Intangible; because the way to the intangible is hard to
find by embodied souls.
ARJUNA
What are the indicators, O Lord, of one who has
transcended these three qualities? What is his conduct?
How also doth one transcend these three qualities?"
KRISHNA
He who has no aversion for light, activity, and even
delusion, O son of Pandu, when they are present, nor
desires them when they are absent; who, seated as one
unconcerned, is not shaken by those qualities; who sits
and moves not, knowing that it is the qualities that are
engaged in their respective functions; to whom pain and
pleasure are alike, who is self-contained, and to whom
a clod of earth, a stone, and gold are alike; to whom the
agreeable and the disagreeable are the same; who has
discernment; to whom censure and praise are the same;
to whom honour and dishonour are the same; who
regards friend and foe alike; who has renounced all
exertion; he is said to have transcended the qualities.
He also who worships me with exclusive devotion,
transcending those qualities, becomes fit for admission
into the nature of The Eternal. I am the sojourn of The
Eternal, of immortality, of indestructability, of eternal
piety, and of uninterrupted happiness.
XV. Realizing The Supreme Being
KRISHNA
They say that the Aswattha, having its roots above and
branches below, is eternal, its leaves are hymns. He,
who knows it, knows the Vedas. Downwards and
upwards are stretched its branches which are nourished
by the qualities; its sprouts are the objects of senses. Its
roots growing downwards into this world of men, lead to
action and its bondage. Its form, its end, its beginning
and its support cannot be known here below. Cutting
down its firmly fixed roots with the durable weapon of
non-attachment, then one should seek the path upon
which there is no turning back, saying: I will seek the
protection of that Primeval Sire from whom the ancient
course of worldly life has flowed. Free from pride and
delusion, subduing the evil attachment, steady in
contemplation of the Supreme Self, free from desire;
freed from the duality of pleasure and pain and the like,
they walk along that unmistaken indestructible path to
the eternal seat. The sun lights not that seat, nor the
moon, nor fire. That is my supreme seat from which
none returns. An eternal portion of me, becoming an
individual soul in the world of life draws to itself the five
senses with the mind as the sixth depending on nature.
When the sovereign of this bodily frame occupies or
quits a body, he takes along these senses like the wind
taking away perfumes from their seats. Presiding over
hearing, sight, touch, taste, smell and mind, he enjoys
all objects of senses.
KRISHNA
Faith, as epitomized by all creatures, is of three kinds,
born of individual natures. Faith is good, passionate and
dark. Hear now of these: the faith of a person, O
Bharata, conforms to his nature. Every being here is
charged by beliefs; and whatever those beliefs are, one
exists according to them.
KRISHNA
The rejection of the works attached to desire is known
by the sages as renunciation. Those that are judicious
call relinquishment, the rejection of the fruits of all work.
Some wise men say that work itself should be
abandoned as evil; others say that the works of
sacrifice, gifts, and penance, should not be abandoned.
As to that abandonment, listen to my decision, O best of
the sons of Bharata. Abandonment has been declared
to be of three kinds: sacrifice, gifts and atonement.
These should never be abandoned. They should,
indeed, be done. Sacrifice, gift and penance, constitute
the purifications of the wise. But even those works
should be done, abandoning attachment and reward.
This, O son of Pritha, is my outstanding and decided
view.
ARJUNA
My delusion has been destroyed, and the memory of
what I am, through your favour, is still retained by me, O
You who do not deteriorate. I am now confident. My
doubts have been dispelled. I will obey your command.
Sanjaya: Thus I heard this Dialogue that is wonderful
and causes the hair to stand on end, between
Vasudeva and the high-souled son of Pritha. Through
Vyasa's favour I heard this supreme mystery, this
doctrine of Yoga, from Krishna, the Lord of Yoga
himself, who declared it in person. O King remembering
and again recalling this wonderful and sacred Dialogue
between Krishna and Arjuna, I rejoice over and over
again. Great is my amazement, O king, as I remember
again and again that wonderful form of Hari, and I
rejoice ever more. Wherever Krishna, the Lord of Yoga
is, there the great bowman Arjuna is. And it is there, in
my opinion that fortune, victory, prominence and eternal
justice reside.
