Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 7 verse 13


Chapter 7 verse 13

“Deluded by these states or things composed of the three gunas of prakriti, the world knows Me not as immutable and distinct from them.”

In dwapara yuga, at the time Krishna was performing his avatara, how many people realized that he is the supreme being and God principle? It takes a very special blessing to have that realization at the same time of the avatara. This wouldn’t occur for normal beings but only for exalted souls. For all others, we are going to be stuck in our nature associated with the body, mind, intellect and ego complex goaded by the 3 gunas- purity, passion and ignorance. Please note that even purity at a point forces you to cling to the body and mind. One has to rid of even sathvic thoughts to realize the immutable Self. How many of us realized the greatness of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Vivekananda, Shirdi Sai Baba, Satya Sai Baba, Kanchi Mahaperivava and Ramana Maharishi to name a few supreme Souls.
