Verse 3-32

ये त्वेतदभ्यसूयन्तो नानुतिष्ठन्ति मे मतम् |

सर्वज्ञानविमूढांस्तान्विद्धि नष्टानचेतस: || 32||

“But those who find fault in My teachings and do not follow them bring about their own ruin, with total loss of wisdom and discrimination”
 

Commentary

Lord Krishna’s profound teachings, encapsulating the divine essence of the soul and several fundamental precepts, present a challenge in comprehension, acceptance, and adherence. Central to these teachings is the imperative to offer all actions unto God, working without personal desires, expectations, or attachments, and recognizing God as the ultimate doer while exercising control over the senses. Throughout the ages, the Bhagavad Gita has stood as a beacon of wisdom, offering insights into the laws governing life on earth and beyond.

 

Dismissal or indifference toward Lord Krishna’s teachings, without genuine exploration, amounts to a missed opportunity, often rooted in the ego’s envy of the soul’s innate wisdom. The ego, a deceptive construct, perpetuates its existence by keeping the senses constantly engaged with worldly stimuli, hindering the development of serene self-realization.

 

The elusive nature of ego, akin to a mirage, fosters a false identity tethered to the body and external surroundings. Although intangible, its resistance to wisdom and discernment is formidable. The divine conflict between the ego’s illusory identity and the soul’s reflective essence lies at the heart of the Gita’s narrative. Cultivating faith and devotion to embrace these teachings, grounded in experiential understanding rather than blind faith, leads to a profound clarity of existence. Ultimately, it is through personal experience that the timeless wisdom of Lord Krishna’s teachings reveals itself as a priceless treasure, guiding seekers toward enlightenment and inner harmony.
