Chapter 18 verse 45
“By fulfilling their duties, born of their innate qualities, human beings can attain perfection. Now hear from me how one can become perfect by discharging one’s prescribed duties.”
Material
energy in its original state in nature likes to exist in its innate form and
when agitated tries to come back to their original position. Atoms of different
objects behave the same way. Similarly the mental makeup of a human being with
innate tendencies is most comfortable conforming to those tendencies in
equilibrium. As well, each soul plans its lifetime for particular lessons to be
learnt and hence sets up conditions of the environment, family, resources or
lack thereof in order to learn that spiritual lesson in the best and easiest
way possible. The body, mind, intellect and ego instruments forget that the
soul has made this plan for us in this lifetime and go about resisting all occurrences
if it is not conducive to our immediate happiness of those instruments. Bhagwan
Krishna in this verse states a profound concept of this soul’s plan and how to
focus on acting with perfection duties given to us in this lifetime and exhaust
the innate tendencies we are trying to overcome in our journey to spiritual
perfection and eventual enlightenment.
