Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 4 verse 26


Chapter 4 verse 26

“Some again offer hearing and other senses as sacrifice in the fire of restraint; others offer sound and other objects of senses as sacrifice in the fire of the senses”

The attitude and self control levels are the drivers to determine how much detachment is attained from the senses. In the previous verse, Lord pointed to 2 ends of the spectrum- those who aspire to control one or all of their senses and the other end operate with the attitude that everything is immutable Self itself. In this verse, Lord is talking more of sense end of the spectrum. He is referring to people who want to hear only good things and God’s name and chant only divine’s word. This practice would lead people to go inward into the Self and contemplate on it.
