In this Satsang, Swamiji speaks about the recent ‘Bhagavad Gita Retreat’ he had conducted in Irvine, California, where he summarized the core message of the Bhagavad Gita.

Bhagavad Gita was a war field dialogue, by which the grieving Arjuna was empowered to take up arms again. In this dialogue, Sri Krishna presented a synthesis of all the ancient Upanishadic knowledge. The Gita message is ever-relevant and applicable in any life situation. The Gita message is meant to enlighten, enrich and elevate the mind and intelligence of a human, so that he can face all challenges and conflicts in life.

The human body is inert. It is animated and activated by the inner presence. Bhagavad Gita says that the senses derive their power only when the mind employs them. Intelligence guides the mind and it is still superior to the mind. Superior to the intelligence is the ‘I’, the Self. By inspiring the seeker to understand and realize the glory of the ‘I’, Bhagavad Gita makes a seeker a true renunciate. He understands the inner presence from which no action proceeds and on which no effect befalls.

Discussing the fifth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, Swamiji explains that wise people, given to discrimination, do not revel in any kind of sensory delights. Sensory delights have a beginning and an end and are the wombs of misery. A man of discrimination is sensitive enough to understand that sensory delights are ephemeral. He must aim for the inmost presence which is the abode of permanent joy.
