O mighty-armed Arjuna, according to the Ved\u0101nta there are five causes for the accomplishment of all action. Now learn of these from Me.\xa0The place of action [the body], the performer, the various senses, the many different kinds of endeavor, and ultimately the Supersoul \u2013 these are the five factors of action.\xa0Whatever right or wrong action a man performs by body, mind or speech is caused by these five factors.\xa0Therefore one who thinks himself the only doer, not considering the five factors, is certainly not very intelligent and cannot see things as they are.\xa0One who is not motivated by false ego, whose intelligence is not entangled, though he kills men in this world, does not kill. Nor is he bound by his actions.\xa0Knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the knower are the three factors that motivate action; the senses, the work and the doer are the three constituents of action.....\U0001f4da Ask questions via email prasnasd@gmail.com or Facebook & Instagram DMs \U0001f4da find the book links & all episodes at sravanamdiaries.com/bhagavad-gita-as-it-is/ \xa0\U0001f4d6 The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. This edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message | follow us on Facebook, Instagram & YouTube @sravanamdiaries | subscribe to the podcast through these links: podlink.to/sravanam
