Chapter 4 verse 10
“Freed from attachment, fear and anger, absorbed in Me,
taking refuge in Me, purified by the ‘fire of knowledge’, many have attained My
Being”
Fear stems from uncertainty of the happiness in future
based on past or present moment experience. Anger originates from
desires/expectations not getting fulfilled and desires arises out of attachment
to a particular result so the root of fear or anger is desire/expectation of a
particular result which brings us happiness. Lord is stating that beings who
have burnt their attachment to desires through the fire of knowledge-‘jnana
tapas’ attain the divine. Jnana Tapas is penance on the core knowledge of the
Self; Residing firmly in the Self. He has also stated that many have attained
this in past ages. This should act as a guidepost and encouragement to Arjuna
then and all of us now.
