188 - The core message of 'Bhagavad Gita Retreat--USA' | Bhagavad Gita | Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha

#globalsatsang #enlightenedliving #bhoomananda #bhagavadgita
In this Satsang, Swamiji speaks about the recent ‘Bhagavad Gita Retreat’ he had conducted in Irvine, California, where he summarized the core message of the Bhagavad Gita.
Bhagavad Gita was a war field dialogue, by which the grieving Arjuna was empowered to take up arms again. In this dialogue, Sri Krishna presented a synthesis of all the ancient Upanishadic knowledge. The Gita message is ever-relevant and applicable in any life situation. The Gita message is meant to enlighten, enrich and elevate the mind and intelligence of a human, so that he can face all challenges and conflicts in life.
The human body is inert. It is animated and activated by the inner presence. Bhagavad Gita says that the senses derive their power only when the mind employs them. Intelligence guides the mind and it is still superior to the mind. Superior to the intelligence is the ‘I’, the Self. By inspiring the seeker to understand and realize the glory of the ‘I’, Bhagavad Gita makes a seeker a true renunciate. He understands the inner presence from which no action proceeds and on which no effect befalls.
Discussing the fifth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Swamiji explains that wise people, given to discrimination, do not revel in any kind of sensory delights. Sensory delights have a beginning and an end and are the wombs of misery. A man of discrimination is sensitive enough to understand that sensory delights are ephemeral. He must aim for the inmost presence which is the abode of permanent joy.

शुद्धो बुद्धो विमुक्तः श्रुतिशिखरगिरां मुख्यतात्पर्यभूमिः
यस्माज्जातं समस्तं जगदिदममृताद्व्याप्य सर्वं स्थितो यः ।
यस्यांशांशावतारैः सुरनरवनजैः रक्षितं सर्वमेतत् ।
तं भूमानं मुकुन्दं हृदि गतममलं कृष्णमेव प्रपद्ये ॥
śuddho buddho vimuktaḥ śruti-śikharagirāṃ mukhya-tātparya-bhūmiḥ

Bhāvaprakāśa (Commentary on Bhagavad Gita by Sadānanda)
मदीय हृदयाकाशे चिदानन्दमयो गुरुः ।
उदेतु सततं सम्यक् स्वात्मानन्दप्रबोधकः ॥
madīya hṛdayākāśe cidānandamayo guruḥ ।
udetu satataṃ samyak svātmānandaprabodhakaḥ ॥
कार्पण्यदोषोपहतस्वभावः पृच्छामि त्वां धर्मसम्मूढचेताः ।
यच्छ्रेयः स्यान्निश्चितं ब्रूहि तन्मे शिष्यस्तेऽहं शाधि मां त्वां प्रपन्नम् ॥
​​kārpaṇyadoṣopahatasvabhāvaḥ pṛcchāmi tvāṃ dharmasammūḍhacetāḥ ।
yacchreyaḥ syānniścitaṃ brūhi tanme śiṣyaste'haṃ śādhi māṃ tvāṃ prapannam ॥
Bhagavad Gita 2.7
इन्द्रियाणि पराण्याहुरिन्द्रियेभ्यः परं मनः ।
मनसस्तु परा बुद्धिर्यो बुद्धेः परतस्तु सः ॥
indriyāṇi parāṇyāhurindriyebhyaḥ paraṃ manaḥ ।
manasastu parā buddhiryo buddheḥ paratastu saḥ ॥
Bhagavad Gita 3.42
आ नो भद्राः क्रतवो यन्तु विश्व:
ā no bhadrāḥ kratavo yantu viśva:
सत्यान्नास्ति परो धर्मः
satyānnāsti paro dharmaḥ

ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दु:खयोनय एव ते ।
आद्यन्तवन्त: कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुध: ।।
ye hi saṃsparśajā bhogā du:khayonaya eva te ।
ādyantavanta: kaunteya na teṣu ramate budha: ।।
Bhagavad Gita 5.22
संवेद्यवर्जितमनुत्तममेकमाद्यं
संवित्पदं विकलनं कलयन्महात्मन् ।
हृद्येव तिष्ठ कलनारहितः क्रियां तु
कुर्वन्नकर्तृपदमेत्य शमोदितश्रीः ॥
