INTRODUCTION Beatrice Polidori "Bhagavad trip "means" The Song of the blessed. "This is an ancient Indian poem, which tells of the dialogue between the warrior-prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. The background, told in Mahabaratha, is to a family feud that leads Arjuna and his brothers to be deprived of his kingdom. During the war, Arjuna chose to ally himself to Krishna, which is offered as a charioteer. But in front of the family lined up for battle, Arjuna is beset by doubt ... The dialogue between the prince and the God is the epitome of the ancient Indian philosophical tradition. In it shows the different paths, the rules of acting spiritual fervor of the mystic, the ascetic discipline - because all is the seed of truth, as are the faces of God's infinite boundaries
The Bhagavad Gita, or Song (Gita) Blessed (Blessed), also known in abbreviated form as Gita, or with the expanded title of Srimad- bhagavadgitah Upanisadah, it is the sixth book of the Mahabharata, the great Indian epic. It forms an episode of the gigantic work that tells the story of a dynastic war took place in ancient times in northern India, between two branches of the royal lineage of Hastinapura, the Pandavas, the legitimate sovereign, and the Kauravas usurpers.
This poem starring one of the contenders, Arjuna, the family of the Pandavas, and Krishna, a nobleman of the neighboring kingdom, a friend of both rivals and its alliance with Arjuna. Krishna, impartially, in accordance with the wishes expressed by the two principles, offers his army to the rebel leader is accompanied by personal enemies and as Arjuna's charioteer in his chariot in the battle. While the armies lined up and begin the ritual that precedes the battle, you do bring dall'auriga Krishna Arjuna in the midst of two armies to observe them. Here, at the sight of friends, relatives and teachers who are awaiting the death in battle, told Krishna that it was withdrawing from the war, in emotion and fear to subvert the ethical order. Faced with the despair of Arjuna, Krishna reveals himself as the embodiment (avatar) of Vishnu, in human form, and after that the prince has expressed his disciple, he began a thorough exposure of the realization doctrine, in order to give man the knowledge of right and freedom to act, to carry out their duty land.
This famous work has the advantage of summarizing the content of the Sruti wisdom through the bodies of man "of the world", played by the warrior prince struggling with ethical and spiritual dilemmas that continue to reflect the existential demands of the people of every age . The caller
divine Krishna, is one of the many aspects of God or the Absolute that "takes shape", or appearance, as avatar to brighten and restore the proper understanding of men's desire for knowledge. The manifestation of Incarnation (Avatara) God shows himself in order to actualize the truth of Scripture and offer an opportunity for recognition of reality, not only through pure philosophical speculation, which may be inaccessible to many, but also through yogic or devotional practices that enhance individual predispositions. This teaching takes place in the knowledge, techniques and observances, and points directly to make the experience a consciousness-raising tool.
Although the text has been subject to several interpretations, the intent is not to establish a theistic religion, let alone a particular sect or school. The god who is manifested to Arjuna states, as dictated in the Upanishads, the superiority Knowledge of the Self in all disciplines and devotions or ascetic practices, knowledge that occurs through the devotion, the impersonal service or pure research, without preference '33. O conqueror of foes, the sacrifice in knowledge is greater than the sacrifice of material goods because all actions have their fulfillment in the knowledge, O son of Pritha.
34. Get to know the truth approaching a spiritual master, with submission Ask them questions and serve. The soul can be made because the knowledge has seen the truth.
35. And when you've learned the truth from a realized soul you will never understand why more in the illusion that all beings are part of the Supreme or, in other words, I belong.
36. Even if you were the worst of sinners, once stood on the vessel of knowledge will exceed the ocean of suffering.
37. Similar to the blazing fire reduces wood to ashes, O Arjuna, the fire of knowledge reduce all actions to ashes.
38. In this world nothing is so pure and sublime as knowledge. One who has become mature in the practice of yoga, at the time, found himself in this knowledge. "(IV, 33 -38)
Although God shows himself, in a concert of epiphanies, in various forms in which religious imagery His figure has conceived, it does so to finally be "two arms, in the form of man; '51. Seeing Krishna in His original form, Arjuna said: Looking at this with a human form, so wonderfully beautiful, my mind calms down and I return to my normal nature.
52. The Blessed Lord said: My This form, which you now contemplate, it is very difficult to see, My dear Arjuna. Even the demigods aspire continually to contemplate
53. The shape you see with your spiritual eyes can not be understood or with the study of the Vedas, nor the severe asceticism, nor with acts of charity, nor with the ritual worship. No one, for these roads, I will see as they are.
54. My dear Arjuna, only by an unwavering love I know you can as they are, standing in front of you, and I can see directly. Only thus can penetrate the mystery of my person.
55. My dear Arjuna, he who acts for me, just watching me, free from contamination of its past activities and mental speculation, kind to all beings, certainly comes to Me "(XI, 51-55) The two songs
cited, although they can not reflect the complexity of the work, suggest the vision that animates the text background: knowledge of the Supreme is the ultimate goal of human existence, whatever the means used to search for it, these are nothing more than seeds of 'Being without infinite-parts, knowledge of which burns every action, every karmic residue and the same need for any action. Krishna also points out three ways that can lead men, by their nature, to realize the fullness: Karma Yoga, selfless way of action, Bhakti Yoga, the path of pure devotion and Jnana Yoga, the path of philosophical knowledge " 1. Arjuna said: One who loves you with devotional service and who is dedicated to the worship impersonal Brahman, the unmanifested, who is more perfect?
2. The Blessed Lord said: He who sets his mind on My personal form and full of ardent spiritual faith, remains committed in my worship, has joined me in a perfect manner.
3-4. As for those who will vote to completely non-manifested, undefined, under inconceivable, omnipresent, fixed, immutable, controlling the senses, showing all fair-minded and working for the universal good, of course I realize.
5. For those whose minds attracted to the unmanifested, impersonal looking for the Absolute, the progress will be very tiring. Progress in this way is always difficult to be embodied.
6-7. For one who loves me and leaves me in all its activities, dedicated exclusively to me, absorbed in devotional service and always meditating upon Me, with mind fixed in Me, O son of Pritha, I am the liberator who will take him from soon the ocean of births and deaths.
8. Fix your mind upon Me and engages in Me all your intelligence. So, no doubt, will live in Me always
9. My dear Arjuna, the conqueror of wealth, if you can not fix your mind upon Me without deviation, then observe the regulative principles of yoga.
10. If you can not submit to the regulatory principles of yoga, try to dedicate to me your works, because acting on Me perfection.
11. However, if you can not act on this awareness, then tried to give up the fruits of your actions and become aware of the spiritual nature.
12. Superior knowledge, however, is meditation, and meditation is superior to the renunciation of the fruits of action, because with this release you can get peace of the mind. "(XII, 1 - 12)
is how Krishna, listed the causes of air conditioning in the error and how to overcome them, indicates the commitment of the aspirant," 51-53. Purified by intelligence, by controlling the mind with determination, giving the objects of sense gratification, free from attachment and aversion, the man who lives in a lonely place, who eats little and controls the body and speech, which always abides in contemplation, detached, selfishness, power and vain conceit, without passion or anger, that does not take material things, free from any sense of ownership, peaceful, this man is fully elevated to the level of achievement spiritual.
54. One who reaches the level achieved immediately transcendental Brahman. Never complains and does not aspire to anything ever, it also shows all living beings. In this condition draws the supreme understanding.
55. Only through love devotee comes to know as they are, and know immediately enter into
Me 56. Though engaged in all sorts of activities, My devotee, under My protection, reaches for my grace, the eternal and immortal abode. "(XVIII, 51-56)
The" grace of God, "nominated in several passages of text, and determines that holds everything, is subject to different interpretations, dualistic, theistic, etc., but these visions, from the point Philosophically, where you want to understand the Ultimate Reality can not agree that in the text that most characterizes the Gita "Leave the fruits of every action is what the wise call renunciation." (XVIII, 2). Action devotional and ritual, mundane action, action of the yogi who seeks perfection of knowledge, all human work, served its purpose, dissolves and returns to its origin finally found: Being uncaused, completely free of ties with any action or knowledge:
"2. Neither the multitude of demigods nor the great sages know My origin, because I am the source, in every respect as one of the others.
3. Man I know that as the unborn, the One who is without beginning, the ruler of all worlds, there is deluded and is free from all sins.
4-5. The intelligence, knowledge, freedom from doubt and delusion, indulgence, truthfulness, self-control and calm, the joys and pains, birth and death, fear and courage, not nonviolence, equanimity, 'satisfaction, austerity', generosity, glory and shame, all these qualities stem from Me alone. (X, 2-5)
The practice of spiritual discipline is therefore the means by which you conquer the knowledge that is beyond the yoke of the mind and its illusions. This discipline is called Yoga.
"7. Who has conquered the mind and achieve peace has already reached the Brahman. For him, the joy and pain, heat and cold, honor and dishonor are equal.
8. It is said that a person is situated in the spiritual realization and is called when yogi is fully satisfied with the knowledge and implementation experience. This person is situated in the fullness and unity and has self-control. He sees everything, the clod of earth, stone and gold, with an equal eye.
9. Among all is more than one who sees all, the honest benefactor, friend and enemy, the envious, the virtuous, the sinner, the indifferent and impartial mind with equanimity. [...]
29. The true yogi sees Me in all beings and all beings in Me In truth, the soul made me see everywhere.
30. Being that I see everywhere and sees everything in Me never separated from Me, as I have never separated from him.
31. The yogi, knowing that I and the Atman, located in all creatures, we are One, I worship you and always abides in Me
32. A perfect yogi, O Arjuna, who sees himself in relation to the true equality of all beings, happy or unhappy. "(I 0.7 to 9 and 29-32)
