Important Verses Bhagavad Gita Ji Chapter 12
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj has done a translation of Srimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 that describes the benefits of the worship of Supreme God who is attainable by chanting Satnaam and Sarnaam obtained from enlightened saint; else seeker remains in the trap of Kaal.
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 1
The whole of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 tells about the benefits of Brahm sadhana, and the whole of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 13 introduces us to the magnificence of the Supreme God.
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 1 Arjun asks that those who constantly engage in your bhajan and those who worship the eternal invisible Supreme God in a superior most way, out of these who is the knower of Yog i.e. the knower of the path of bhakti?
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 2
Without Satyanaam and Saarnaam the Worshippers of Brahm, in Form or as Formless, Remain in Kaal’s Trap
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 2, Kaal God is saying that those who worship me, I consider them to be the best.
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 3, 4
Then in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 3, 4, has said that those who by appropriately restraining their senses worship the omnipresent, eternal, unchanging, invisible, immortal Supreme God, those who wish for the well-being of all the living beings, who have equal vision everywhere also attain only me. The same evidence is in Gita Chapter 7 Verse 18 that the learned soul is although humble but due to lack of true spiritual knowledge remains in my ‘Anuttam, that is, inferior attainment.
Important: Although in holy Vedas and Gita Ji the information is given on that eternal, indescribable, invisible (Purna Brahm SatPurush) God is correct, however, the way of worship, the one letter ‘OM’ mantra and Yagya, etc, of only the formless Kaal God has been mentioned. Therefore, the Nirgun worshippers like Markande, kept doing sadhana by doing Jaap of ‘OM’ mantra considering the Supreme God to be Nirgun-Nirakaar (formless)-eternal, and in the end reached Mahaswarg (the Great heaven). Therefore, God is saying that those worshippers are also not out of my trap i.e. those worshippers of mine (of Krishna form or Vishnu form) who will come to Vishnu Lok, they after coming to me only and consuming the cream of their virtuous deeds will go to hell. Therefore, those who worship me (in Vishnu form) soon become accomplished but this sadhana is also of the fools; it is not good. Because in Gita Chapter 17 Verse 23 there is an instruction of the real worship of Purna Parmatma. There is the instruction of these three mantras ‘OM-Tat-Sat’ of the worship of complete God. Here in Gita Chapter 12 Verse 3-4 it is stated ‘but those seekers who worship that Purna Parmatma against the injunctions of holy scriptures (do arbitrary worship not stated in scriptures) instead of attaining that complete God, by chanting ‘OM’ mantra attain Brahmlok. Thus, remain in Kaal’s world. The same evidence is in Gita Chapter 7 Verse 18 that these learned souls are good, are humble but they are engrossed in my inferior worship.
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 5-8
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 5 to 8, has said that those who do sadhana considering God as formless, strive by inflicting pain to their body which is distressing, and an ordinary sadhak cannot do it. Therefore, those who worship me (the Vishnu form) with undivided devotion, I by releasing them quickly will liberate them from the mortal world (for some time), and because they worship me as Vishnu therefore, will come to Vishnu Lok only. Thereafter, finishing their virtues/merits they soon go to hell, and then in the 84 lakh births; Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14 Verse 6, 14, 18.
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 9 -18
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 9 to 18, God (Brahm) is saying that if you are unsuccessful in fixing (restraining) your mind then do Abhyas Yog (Naam Jaap). If you are unable to do Abhyas Yog, then keep performing scripture-based actions. If you cannot even do this, then by gaining victory over mind and intellect, and by renouncing the fruits of actions, you can soon attain peace (by renunciation). A devotee who is free from love-hatred is very dear to me.
Important: God (Brahm) is saying that by restraining the mind, renounce the fruits of actions. When the mind has been restrained then liberation is certain. {Mind could neither be restrained by Shiva, nor Brahma, nor by Vishnu, and nor by Brahm (Kaal). Then how can Arjun control the mind? Mind itself is Kaal (Brahm). A God with a thousand arms (kalaas / skills) can only be restrained by the Jaap of Param Akshar Brahm (Purna Brahm SatPurush) who has infinite arms.
Only that devotee can get liberated who obtains Naam from a saint who is a worshipper of that Supreme God, remains within the bounds of Guru, and who is endowed with the Yog of the practice of Naam.
Now the readers must themselves contemplate, the mind cannot be restrained by Brahm sadhana, therefore, there is no liberation.
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 19, 20
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 Verse 19, 20, has said that he who remains balanced in criticism and praise, is reflective, is contented with plain and simple food, is free from attachment, has a steadfast mind, and is endowed with devotion, such a sadhak is very dear to me, and he who follows the principle (viewpoint), that I have explained above, is exceedingly dear to me; which means, a devotee who is free from lust, anger, love, hatred, greed, and attachment, who is balanced in criticism and praise, is very dear to me. Now the readers should themselves think.
This capability is even not in the three Gods (Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva). Then how can an ordinary devotee do it? Therefore, he cannot be dear to Kaal (Brahm) God, and therefore, cannot attain God. Hence, proved that based on actions heaven, hell and the 84 lakh births are the final achievements of a living being by Brahm sadhana.
Conclusion: The above explanation of all Verses of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 has been done by great Tatvadarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. This Chapter describes the benefits of the worship of Brahm; Supreme God who is attained by chanting Satnam and Sarnaam else the worshipper remains in Kaal’s trap. The forced way of worship has been said to be useless since God cannot be attained. The devotee is liberated after obtaining Naam from a Tatvadarshi sant and doing true worship. The above explanation of all Verses of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 has been done by great Tatvadarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
