He, the adored, is the one God after attaining whom there is nothing else to contemplate. God manifests himself as a saviour of saintly men. “I manifest myself from age to age to defend the pious,ĭestroy the wicked, and strengthen dharm.” God’s incarnation comes about only within the heart of a blessed worshiper. When despairing tears flow from the eyes of loving worshipers because of their overpowering feeling of helplessness at their inability to steer across unrighteousness, God begins to mould his form into a manifest shape.īut that also implies that God manifests himself to only loving worshipers and only for their well-being. Goswami Tulsidas has written of his grief-laden heart because his life had passed without contemplation of God. Such a feeling of weariness had come to Manu. Sri Krishn tells the devout Arjun that when hearts fall into inertia in regard to the Supreme Spirit, the most sublime dharm, and when the pious are unable to see how to cross safely to the other bank, he begins to shape his form in order to manifest himself. “Whenever, O Bharat, righteousness (dharm) declines It is only by gradual stages that he controls his three-propertied nature by the exercise of yog-maya and manifests himself.īut what are the circumstances of such manifestation? We will find this in next verse of Bhagavad Gita which is well quoted and known through out the entire globe. According to Lord Krishn, however, there is no such incarnation as may be seen by others. People usually say that they will have a vision of God when he manifests himself through an incarnation. It is by the operation of this yog-maya that Lord Krishn subdues his three-propertied nature and manifests himself. This is the maya of Self that provides access to the Soul and leads to awareness of the Supreme Spirit. The other maya is that which Lord Krishn calls yog-maya, of which we are unaware. One kind of maya is the moral ignorance that makes one accept the reality of the material world, and which is the cause of rebirth in low and inferior forms. Sri Krishn is imperishable, birthless, and pervading the breath of all beings, but he is manifested when he restrains materialistic attachments by atm-maya. I manifest myself subduing the materialistic world of nature
“Although imperishable, birthless, and God of all beings, Arjun has thought Lord Krishn to be a mortal like him. If there is even the slightest flaw, he has to undergo another birth. Therefore, they who preach that death of the physical body brings liberation offer, but, a false consolation.Ī Soul realizes the ultimate essence while he is yet in his assumed human body. He is birthless, hidden, and eternal, and yet he is born with a human body. Lord Krishn’s manifestation cannot be seen with physical eyes.
Attainment of the Self is distinct from attainment of a body.
