Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 5 verse 23


Chapter 5 verse 23

“He who is able, while still here in this world to withstand, before the liberation from the body or death, the impulse born out of desire and anger, is a yogi, he is a happy man”

Desire is the root cause of all unhappiness. Anger arises from non-fulfillment of those desires. Desires originate from the attachment to ego. Hence if the person drops his “I” ness, they are able to feel eternal bliss even before leaving this impermanent world. They become yogis- Karma, Bhakti, Raja and Jnana yogis. The ultimate result of all these different paths enumerated in our scriptures is dropping of the ego and surrendering to the divine or your immutable Self.
