Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 6 verse 27


Chapter 6 verse 27

“Supreme bliss verily comes to this yogi, whose mind is quite peaceful, whose passion is quietened, who is free from sin and who has become brahman”

Continuing on from previous verses, Lord says that when the mind is bereft of thoughts which one doesn’t cling on it, the passion which arises from desire laden thoughts and actions is automatically quelled and the hence the source of distraction is eliminated to get to the immutable Self. Sin in sanatana dharma is nothing but actions and thoughts which takes one away from dharma-right thing to do or think. The consequence of a sin from the law of karma is that one needs to exhaust the effect of that thought or action in a future time. Nobody is permanently condemned to heaven or hell based on their deeds-meritorious or sinful. Heaven and hell are not permanent places in sanatana dharma. They exist both on earth and elsewhere. In fact every moment could be heaven and hell based on our thoughts, actions and perceptions. The only refugee is to stay with the dharmic way and pursue the highest purpose in life, to get liberated from this cycle of birth and death!
