5 Mahaslokas of Geeta and their life changing meaning
If these verses of Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta are understood deeply, then they can completely eliminate mental stress and depression of man:
Verse 1: Message of immortality of the soul
$$Nainam Chhurchanti Shastrani Nainam Dahti Pavakah.$$
$$Neither chainam kledayantyapo nor shoshayati marut॥$$
-
Simple meaning: Our soul in this universe cannot be cut by any worldly weapon, fire can never burn it, water can never wet or submerge it and even strong wind can never dry it.
-
Life lessons: Lord Shri Krishna is explaining to us through Arjun that this body is mortal, but the soul within us is immortal and eternal. Therefore it is foolish to fear death or any physical harm.
Verse 2: The unbreakable law of life and death
$$Jatasya Hi Dhruvo Mrityurbhuvam Janam Mritasya Ch.$$
$$Tasmadpariharye ीrthe na त्वं शोचितुमरहसी॥$$
-
Simple meaning: Whatever creature is born on this earth, its death is absolutely certain; And the one who has died, his rebirth is also absolutely certain. Therefore, it is not appropriate for you in any way to mourn over something that is completely unchangeable.
-
Life lessons: This verse gives us the strength to accept the biggest bitter truth of life, ‘death’. When we understand that loss or end is a law of nature, our mental suffering reduces.
Verse 3: Confidence in the victory of righteousness over unrighteousness
$$Paritranaya Sadhunam Vinashaya Cha Dushkritam.$$
$$Dharmasthanaarthay Sambhavami Yuge Yuge ॥$$
-
Simple meaning: For the welfare (protection) of the virtuous and upright men in this world, for the complete destruction of those who are wicked and sinful, and to re-establish true religion on earth, I (Shri Krishna) have been incarnating in every era for ages and will continue to incarnate.
-
Life lessons: This verse assures us that no matter how powerful evil may seem today, truth and righteousness always triumph in the end.
Verse 4: The greatest teaching of Gita (Karmayoga)
$$Karmanyaevadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachan.$$
$$ Maa Karmaphalheturbhurma te Sangostvakarmani॥$$
-
Simple meaning: In this life, you have full right only on doing ‘karma’, but you have no control over the ‘result’ obtained from that work. So you just do your best work and completely stop worrying about its outcome or results. There should never be a feeling of not working (inaction) in your mind.
-
Life lessons: This is the basic mantra of success for students, businessmen and every class. When we stop worrying about the results and focus only on our hard work, the stress goes away and the chances of getting success increases manifold.
Verse 5: 4 types of devotees who seek refuge in God
$$”Chaturvidha Bhajante Maa Janah Sukritinoऽजर्जुन.$$
$$Arto Jijnasurartharthi Gnani Cha Bharatarshbha॥”$$
Lord Shri Krishna told Arjun that in this whole world mainly only four categories (types) of people do true devotion and worship of God. Every person has his own feeling and reason behind remembering God:
The biggest lesson of today’s thought:
If you have failed in any exam today or are worried about your career, then make yourself ‘Gijyasu’ or ‘Karmayogi’. Stop worrying about the result, recognize the immortal power of your soul and start trying once again with full confidence, because this is the message of Shri Krishna in person.
