Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 6 verse 36


Chapter 6 verse 36

“Yoga, I think, is hard to be attained by one of uncontrolled self; but the self-controlled, striving, can obtain it by proper means.”

What is the proper means to gain control of the body, mind and intellect through yoga? It is the act of discipline of the body activities, training the mind to not lose energy in fleeting thoughts all the time and intellect to work on only what is dharmic, according to one’s svadharma and sattvic. It is important to note that Lord is just suggesting to Arjuna how to go about reaching the pinnacles of yoga. That’s why the word ‘I think’. He is not saying you have to do this because I told you so. The Lord has set up the entire Universe based on the laws of nature and karma and Man reaps what he sows. Grace is available in equal parts to everyone who wants to tap into it. We need to know to open the tap and receive the abundance of divine grace!
