In this very important chapter, our dearest Lord Sri Krishna , very gradually, lovingly and systematically leads Arjuna to higher levels of knowledge by conveying that his entire preaching/ discourse is a timeless treasure conveyed by Parmaatman first to Vivasvan (sun god) and later sun god transferred it to Manu his son and Manu in turn to his son Ikshavaku.
Till now, Arjuna always loved our Lord Sri Krishna as his very beloved friend, guide and philosopher but on hearing this he wonders how come our dearest Sri Krishna could have existed before sun god without knowing that Suryanaryana ( Sun god ) is one lotus eye of Lord Sri Krishna and the other being Chandranarayana ( Moon god). The best part is that each one of us in our worldly existence and pursuits are incapable of judging the very people who touch our lives which is very true to this day, where we take each and everyone/everything for granted but the moment we come to know the greatness and ocean of supreme love of some of the people associated with us who are the epitome of humbleness, ever flowing compassion and are true to the core we are speechless, stunned and are repentant of our ignorance. Lord Sri Krishna conveys to Arjuna every jivatma has very limited memory but the one and one parmaatma knows not only of all of his births, leelas and avataars but is a greatest repository of each and every jivatma and knows the evolution and has record of every karma of each and every soul and all this is unwritten but stored in his most beautiful lotus heart and is never subject to virus and permanently acts as a source of the further births of all the jivatmas. Sriman Naryanaya is the most caring father, mother, guru, sarvasam and is the only divine best well wisher who can erase all our karmas and carry us to salvation and none else, this is the ultimate truth. The all empathetic, kind and most benevolent Parmaatma is ever waiting very eagerly, enthusiastically and fervently for each soul to introspect and reach him as fast as they can but he offers full independence to each soul for taking this decision and never imposes it on any soul despite his highest power and position as our only creator, which only goes to prove his immense love for each of his creation.
This chapter is enriched with the highest and most reassuring message of our dearest Lord Sri Krishna that whenever adharma/ unethicalness is on rise he would himself come forth and rescue his loving devotees, after this most heartening and supportive statement and that too from our creator is there even one billionth of a reason for us to worry for anything? Our lord rushes more than lightening speed to protect his devotees and does not think twice to vanquish the evil doers. Each one of us can live peacefully and with total confidence that we are fully under the caring shelter of our lord. Our smallest of small want is fulfilled by him unasked, all that we need is to fully repose our faith in our creator that the whole world can go hither and thither but he is there for us ever and ever and we are encircled in his protective lotus arms.
Our lord speaks of different methods and fruits of the various sacrifices as prescribed by our most venerated scriptures and vedas, the methods of attaining heavens, de-alienation of the body and full one pointed concentration on the immortal soul , identifying the most righteous, erudite and experienced guru and then surrendering at the lotus feet of the revered guru for seeking of knowledge/ wisdom for only a true guru can lead us to Lakshmi amma and Lord Sri Krishna and further has very beautifully enumerated of the four varnaas, importance of nishkaama karma, the fate of the doubting soul which is lost forever and the fine fortune of those loving jivatmas, even the foulest of foul who surrender to the will of our creator reaches the ultimate destination with the help of our dearest Lord Sri Krishna is the essence of the chapter IV . Any other path however tough or steep will never lead us to moksha for the only one and one route to attain permanent salvation is Lord Sri Krishna/ Sriman Narayana and none else. One step from jivatma towards our Lord Sri Krishna would be most gently reciprocated by him by shielding us in his loving fold eternally. Our Lord keenly desires that each of the jivatma should adopt only his swadharma ( perform with single pointed devotion and fervor the duties of Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya or the fourth varna as ordained and allocated to the individual soul and under no circumstance switch over to any other dharma no matter how enticing or fulfilling it may be), he has very greatly emphasized the importance of wisdom and knowledge which can illumine and sparkle the soul and above all irrespective of whether we are able to cross the jungle of samsara, control our senses or not , all we need to do is unconditionally surrender our soul at his lotus feet, rest will be fully taken care of by him. The simplest of all paths yet difficult for many, if only the jivatma is able to do this destination of parmapadam is very near and who on this earth would not love to be in the happiest of happy places engaged in the loving service of our creator the one and only Lord Sriman Narayana, Govinda, Krishna, Madhusudhana, Vithobha…………
Few of the points could have been missed out but a very sincere attempt has been made to include some of the most important message as conveyed by our Lord Sri Krishna, any lacunae may please be pardoned for this entire most divine Srimad Bhagavad Gita has been analyzed by me as a humblest of humble servant and mere medium of our Lord Sri Krishna in the capacity of a tiniest of tiny speckle of dust.
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE, HARE RAAMA HARE RAAMA RAAMA RAAMA HARE HARE.
