Chapter 15: Purushottam Yoga; The Yoga of The Supreme Person


Shri Baal-Gopal sharanam!
Maa Bhagavad Gita sharanam!

Verse 15.1: Shri Krishna says, he who knows the imperishable banyan tree (in the form of creation), which has its roots in the Supreme Person, its stem represented by Brahma (the creator of the world), and whose leaves are the Vedic hymns, knows the essence of Vedas.

Verse 15.5: Those who are free from pride, illusion, material attachment, material desires, understand spiritual knowledge, are free from the duality of pleasure and pain, and possess wisdom, they attain their eternal divine nature of sat-chit-ananda (divine truth-consciousness-happiness) and the Divine world.

Verse 15.6: My Supreme Divine world is not illumined by the sun or moon or fire. Those who reach it never return to the material world.

Verse 15.7: The jiva atmas (souls) are my eternal fragmental parts. They are struggling very hard in prakriti (material nature) with their senses and mind.

Verse 15.8: The jiva atma carries his conceptions of life, which he has assimilated with his mind and senses, from one body to another just as the air carries the scent.

Verse 15.12: The radiance of sun that illuminates the entire world, the radiance of the moon, and the radiance of the fire, all come from Me.

Verse 15.15: I am seated in everyone's heart, from Me come wisdom, remembrance, and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas I am to be known. I am the originator of Vedanta and the knower of Vedas too.

Verse 15.17: The Ishvara (Supreme Being) who maintains the three worlds (heavenly, earthly, lower) is also known as Uttam Purusha (Greatest Personality) and Paramatma (Super Soul).

Verse 15.18: As I am transcendental to both perishable and imperishable worlds, I am also known as Purushottam (Supreme Person) in these worlds and the Vedas.

Verse 15.19: O Arjuna, the wise person who realizes Me as Purushottam (Supreme Person), engages in My devotional service (bhakti) with full dedication.
