1 Gita Sloka  every day - Chapter 7 - Jnana Vignana Yoga - Sloka 1




Shri Bhagavan Uvacha

Mayyi asakta manah partha yogam yunjan madashrayah I

Asam shayam samgram mam yatha gyansyasi tat shrunu II sloka 1

श्री भगवान उवाच

मय्यि असक्त मनः पार्थ योगं युञ्जान मदाश्रयः ।
आसं शयं संग्राम माम यथा ग्यन्स्यसि तत् शृणु ।। श्लोक १


The Blessed Lord said
Listen O Partha, how with your mind clinging to Me, and taking refuge in Me and practising yoga, you will without any doubt know me in full.

The term  mad asrayah  connotes complete indifference to the fruits of action, fame, name and such like earthly acquisitions and a staunch attachment to the Lord alone.

Samagram signifies the glory, might, energy, overlordship and similar divine attributes of Iswara.

He who perceives the perfect functioning of a government cannot help appreciating it. Similarly one's admiration is carried on to a divine level when one devotes oneself to the study of the cosmic functioning of the Lord.
