Page 40 - SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA
P. 40

 For thorough understanding of things one must
 have practically attained the state of mind required, before
 If we don't experience during our sadhana the states of calmness, any amount of our talking about the books of Babuji Maharaj is not going to make us wiser or the person people who hear wiser. Academic approach to the subject is of no use. Experiential approach is what is required. Our academics is based on our understanding, the concepts that we have developed and the inputs that we have got, the language that we have developed and all this are going to affect our explanation or understanding. But experience is simple, direct. Anubhava is direct awareness. The same was the case with our sacred Gita and that is the statement that must be understood well and perhaps it must be taken with a pinch of salt by many, because it affects the commentaries that have been given by great people on this subject. I may say here that Bhagavad Gita bhashyas given by the great acharyas are attempts to substantiate the relative points of view of the acharyas whether
it is Advaita, Visistadvaita, or Dvaita or the Bheda-Abheda. Each one of the commentaries that they have given is only trying to substantiate their point of view and not to tell what exactly is the truth. That is the misfortune. We inherited it. Some get attached to Ramanuja, somebody will get attached to Sankara and third person to Nimbarka and what shall we do? We fight, we go on arguing saying that, this is correct and that is correct. We don't try to understand what Lord Krishna has said.
There are numerous commentaries and more are still being added. That is true but I must tell you both my self and brother Parthasarathy had an intention of writing a Gita
one can come out to explain it to others.
