Shri Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12 | श्री भगवद गीता अध्याय 12

By: Yatrigan kripya dhyan de!
  • Summary

  • This chapter begins with Arjun asking Shree Krishna about the two types of yogis and among them whom does He consider perfect. Those who worship the formless Brahman or those who are devoted to the personal-form of God. Shree Krishna declares that devotees can attain Him by both paths. However, He considers those who worship His personal-form as the best yogis. In this small chapter of 20 verses, Shree Krishna emphasizes that the path of devotion is the highest among all types of spiritual practices.

    Yasmān nodvijate loko:

    Yasmān: "By whom" Nodvijate: "Is not disturbed" Loko: "The world" A true devotee is not disturbed by the world or the external circumstances around them. They remain unaffected by the fleeting and chaotic nature of the material world.

    Lokān nodvijate cha yaḥ:

    Lokān: "Others" or "the people" Nodvijate: "Does not disturb" Such a person does not disturb others either. They are not a source of turmoil or chaos in the lives of those around them.

    Harṣāmarṣabhayodvegair mukto:

    Harṣa: "Joy" Amarṣa: "Anger" Bhaya: "Fear" Udvēga: "Anxiety" Mukto: "Freed from" The devotee is free from joy, anger, fear, and anxiety. Their emotions are balanced, and they do not get overly elated or upset by external situations.

    Yaḥ: "Who" Sa: "He" Cha: "Also" Me priyaḥ: "Is dear to Me" Lord Krishna declares that a person who possesses these qualities—being calm, balanced, and unaffected by the extremes of joy, anger, fear, and anxiety—is particularly dear to Him.

    This verse is from the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 12, Verse 14. The translation is:

    • "Santuṣṭaḥ satataṁ yogī yat-ātmā dṛḍha-niścayaḥ | Mayy-arpita-mano-buddhir-yo mad-bhaktaḥ sa me priyaḥ ||"

    Translation:

    • "The yogi who is always content, whose mind is disciplined and has firm determination, and who has dedicated his mind and intellect to Me, is dear to Me."

    This verse describes the qualities of a devotee who is especially beloved by Lord Krishna. The characteristics outlined are:

    1. Santuṣṭaḥ satataṁ yogī:

      • Santuṣṭaḥ: "Content" or "satisfied"
      • Satataṁ: "Always" or "constantly"
      • Yogī: "The yogi" or "the practitioner of yoga"
      • The true yogi is one who is always content, unaffected by material desires or external circumstances, and who maintains inner peace and satisfaction. Contentment is a key aspect of spiritual practice.
    2. Yat-ātmā dṛḍha-niścayaḥ:

      • Yat-ātmā: "Whose soul" or "who has control over the self"
      • Dṛḍha-niścayaḥ: "Firm determination"
      • The devotee has strong self-discipline and firm resolve. Their mind is unshakable in their commitment to the path of spiritual growth and devotion.
    3. Mayy-arpita-mano-buddhir:

      • Mayi: "To Me" (referring to Lord Krishna)
      • Arpita: "Dedicated" or "offered"
      • Mano-buddhi: "Mind and intellect"
      • A true devotee offers both their mind and intellect to God. This means that every thought, feeling, and decision is dedicated to the divine, leading to pure devotion and alignment with the divine will.
    4. Yo mad-bhaktaḥ sa me priyaḥ:

      • Yo: "Who"
      • Mad-bhaktaḥ: "My devotee"
      • Sa: "He"
      • Me priyaḥ: "Is dear to Me"
      • Lord Krishna declares that the devotee who embodies these qualities is especially dear to Him. This person has earned His special affection due to their dedication and pure-hearted devotion.
    • Contentment: The true yogi is always satisfied and at peace with whatever they have, free from cravings or desires.
    • Firm Determination: The devotee is strong-willed and committed to their spiritual practice, not easily swayed by distractions.
    • Complete Dedication: A true devotee dedicates both their intellect and emotions to the service of God, signifying full alignment with divine will.
    • Divine Affection: Lord Krishna expresses that such a devotee, with unwavering faith and dedication, becomes dear to Him.

    In this verse, Lord Krishna highlights the attributes of an ideal devotee who is content, firm in resolve, and completely dedicated to Him. Such a person is always close to Krishna’s heart and is cherished by Him. True devotion, in this sense, is not only about outward worship but about an inner alignment with divine consciousness and surrender to God's will.
