Swami Sarvapriyananda teaches verses 1-5 from the fourteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. This series of talks unfolds the highest truths of Vedanta through the study of "The Song of God".Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 14 Verse 1:श्रीभगवानुवाच |परं भूय: प्रवक्ष्यामि ज्ञानानां ज्ञानमुत्तमम् |यज्ज्ञात्वा मुनय: सर्वे परां सिद्धिमितो गता: || 1||śhrī-bhagavān uvāchaparaṁ bhūyaḥ pravakṣhyāmi jñānānāṁ jñānam uttamamyaj jñātvā munayaḥ sarve parāṁ siddhim ito gatāḥ⧫ The Divine Lord said: I shall once again explain to you the supreme wisdom, the best of all knowledge; by knowing which, all the great saints attained the highest perfection.Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 14 Verse 2:इदं ज्ञानमुपाश्रित्य मम साधर्म्यमागता: |सर्गेऽपि नोपजायन्ते प्रलये न व्यथन्ति च || 2||idaṁ jñānam upāśhritya mama sādharmyam āgatāḥsarge ’pi nopajāyante pralaye na vyathanti cha⧫ Those who take refuge in this wisdom will be united with Me. They will not be reborn at the time of creation nor destroyed at the time of dissolution.Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 14 Verses 3 & 4:मम योनिर्महद् ब्रह्म तस्मिन्गर्भं दधाम्यहम् |सम्भव: सर्वभूतानां ततो भवति भारत || 3||सर्वयोनिषु कौन्तेय मूर्तय: सम्भवन्ति या: |तासां ब्रह्म महद्योनिरहं बीजप्रद: पिता || 4mama yonir mahad brahma tasmin garbhaṁ dadhāmy ahamsambhavaḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ tato bhavati bhāratasarva-yoniṣhu kaunteya mūrtayaḥ sambhavanti yāḥtāsāṁ brahma mahad yonir ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā⧫ The total material substance, prakṛiti, is the womb. I impregnate it with the individual souls, and thus all living beings are born. O son of Kunti, for all species of life that are produced, the material nature is the womb, and I am the seed-giving Father.Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 14 Verse 5:सत्त्वं रजस्तम इति गुणा: प्रकृतिसम्भवा: |निबध्नन्ति महाबाहो देहे देहिनमव्ययम् || 5||sattvaṁ rajas tama iti guṇāḥ prakṛiti-sambhavāḥnibadhnanti mahā-bāho dehe dehinam avyayam⧫ O mighty-armed Arjun, the material energy consists of three guṇas (modes)—sattva (goodness), rajas (passion), and tamas (ignorance). These modes bind the eternal soul to the perishable body.
