Spirit-al Interpretation

t is 7ery interesting to fin) that the splitting of the root meaning of the

ans,rit names in the Gita yiel)s us the names of the psychological arriors

hich e ha7e een )iscussing. or) ante) to unite the souls of his ignorant an)

an)ering chil)ren ith 6is on pirit. This as to e accomplishe)

scientifically through spiritual la. /atanjali eCplains this 7ery clearly in)efinite metaphysical terms! hile the Gita gi7es it in allegory.

These metaphysical sol)iers! mentione) ao7e! must come to the ai) of the

)e7otee ho ants to attle the e7il sol)iers of the senses. ing *esire!

Almost e7ery soul is a prisoner of the senses! hich are entrenche) on the

surface of the o)y. The souls attention is lure) aay from its inner

region of the o)y! here gree)! temptation! an) attachment ha7e their

soul.

armies hich struggle to rescue him.

The man rolling )on hill fin)s no resistance! ut as soon as he ants to

clim up he meets great resistance! so it is ith the man ho is fast sli)ing

into e7il. 6e )oes not fin) resistance until he tries to re7erse his )irection

an) clim up the hill of 7irtue.

The man ho a,es up an) tries to ecome etter fin)s his e7il haits

clashing ith his )esire for self-control. f the soul ins the first

psychological attle through self-control! it fin)s that it has to go through

another an) more sutle metaphysical attle eteen the faculties of elf

Dealization an) its on pre-natal an) post-natal e7il haits.

The first stanza of the Gita )escries the initial psychological clash eteen

)iscrimination an) sense haits! through hich e7ery spiritual no7ice has to

struggle. Also! the sutler metaphysical attle eteen the forces of elf-Dealization an) those of the innate sense haits has to e on efore the

soul can e enthrone) again in its cereral ,ing)om an) reign ith its

*i7ine courtiers of intuitional 5ualities hich resi)e in the spinal pleCuses.

Gurujis commentary is in a very simple language. It isintended to convey the meaning.

The edited language is complicated and does not conveythe exact meaning at many places. It is quite confusing.

eather it is done intentionally! or to show the command

on language of the editor! or "oth is a question.
