Bhagavad Gita Cha 15 - Purushottama Yoga Verse 1-4 This is a symbolic presentation of sansar’s origin, Gyan (Vedas leafs). This sansar is created due to the Yoga Maya of Bhagawan (Brahman) with stems as ever-changing nature of sansar. This sansar is represented by this tree. This sansar rupi tree must be cut to go beyond the nature to reach Brahman. Mana, Budhi, Ahankara and Cit need to be understood. Vasanas exist in Cit. As we start cleaning these vasanas we start reducing the effects of Ahankara (shadow of vasanas). One needs to clean vasanas from Cit: Cit-shudhi. There are two ways to clean Ahankara: 1.      In deep sleep, we experience it without Ahankara. 2.      Light the entire area of Cit. Example: Entire Mountain is sansar; path to reach at the top of mountain is your stem; the peak is destination. Once you reach at the peak, you can see different paths. ·       Karma yoga is to reduce the quantity of thoughts ·       Gyan yoga is to improve the quality of thoughts ·       Bhakti yoga is for the direction of thoughts Verse 5-10 In Spirituality, we need to see how much of knowledge is applied into our daily experience. We must look inward (inside of you). It is the same Brahman that dwells within you in the form of inner divinity. Things are happening according to the nature. We must accept that everything is happening according to nature without attaching our emotions (reaction) on to it. Seeing things as they are. Leave your reaction as it is, e.g., if you go near fire, you feel heat. Accept this.There are few key steps req uired to accept all reactions as it is. If I am getting angry or happy accept it as part of prakriti – nature. You can do this while doing your daily activities. In normal life – corrective instinct is considered as part of desire. For example, if you are surrounded by people who are saying which is not right and you try to stop reacting towards it. Similarly, inside you here is a need to correct it – accept it. If there is a strong desire and you accept it as a desire. One needs to try it. When you try to correct a situation and that situation is not changed. if you do not get affected by it then your awareness expands. In Ajna chakra – it penetrates through time. Your time is not relevant. From here, you go towards Crown Chakra. Heart chakra will take you towards Oneness - unconditional love. Verse 11-15 Explaining the True Nature of Bhagawan – Purushottama.
