Bhagavat Gita – Chapter 15: Purushottama Yoga Verse 14-20 When I merge with the Parmatma, then “I” goes away. Every Jivatma comes through this nature (five elements) and it gets affected by these sansarik activities. Jivatma is like sun rays and Parmatma is the Sun (source of all energy). In this Sansar, Upasana, meditation are different paths to reach Brahman. But this is not the subject of senses and mind. We must go beyond the mind to merge with Brahman. Verse 14 – Prana – energy; Apana – the one which takes away the waste. Universal Prana and Individual prana – when both are connected then your awareness increases. Then, you can acquire some siddhi’s. My awareness is limited with oneself. When awareness starts increasing you can connect with other human beings, and you start understanding other people’s problems. Slowly you will open your third eye – beyond time. Verse 15 – I reside in everyone’s heart as Bhagawan. The “I” goes away. This is the first stage of enlightenment where you experience Bhagawan through Heart Chakra. I and this Sansar is one. Unconditional love Bhava eliminates all relationships between you and everyone else. Verse 16-17 – When we talk about Jnana (Gyan), it is related to Jivatma and Parmatma. There are two types of purusha – one which is destructible and other is indestructible. This universe is all perishable. When quantity of vasanas is less then you start going towards whiteness. At the same time, you can visualize transparent and the Sansar. Bhagawan is related to Bhakti yoga. But when you start differentiating between Jivatma and Parmatma, we are looking through the prism of Jnana (Gyan) Yoga (mind and intellect). Verse 18 – Purusha – the one who remains after pralaya. Prakriti – Uma devi, the power behind this universe. Pragyanam is for Atma (beyond mind and intellect). This is not gender related. It is to explain this spiritual knowledge. Verse 19 – Janati - the one who is not deluded, understands Me as Purushottama. Every belief is like a hand brake with your car that prevents you from achieving the high speed. Verse 20 – This knowledge is an extra ordinary that I have shared with you Bharat (Arjun). Arjuna is addressed here as Bharata because he is knowledgeable now. Every marga come with different tools – Bhakti, Jnana (Gyan), Karma. Bhakti is bhava Pradhan. Till you have Bhagawan in your heart you are on the path of Bhakti yoga. When you are focused on Parmatma – you are on the path of Jnana (Gyan) Yoga.
