शिवोऽहम् - INTRODUCTION TO BHAGAVAD GITA CHAPTER 6
TRANSFORMATION FROM KNOWING TO LIVING VEDANTA
Publisher Description
This journey of self-realization involves three steps -
श्रवण(Study), मनन(Contemplation), निदिध्यासन(Meditation).
In this context, having taught the nature of Brahman, our
true identity as Brahman along with the importance of
Karma Yoga in chapters 2-5, the sixth chapter of Bhagavad
Gita focuses on teaching the methods of निदिध्यासन
(meditation).
However, in this chapter, Shri Krishna not only explained
how to do meditation but also gave the prerequisites,
logistics, and the process of meditation along with the
ultimate achievement of self-realization, and finally, the
significance of practice and Shraddha in this whole
process.
This way, the sixth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita is a
complete handbook on निदिध्यासन/Meditation. We must use
this knowledge and break the barrier of the physical
dimension of this universe and reach the ultimate state of
self-realization where we can say - चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम्
शिवोऽहम्!
