https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00 Full Text 1 Biggest Problem in Life that Bhagavad Gita Helps Solve for you: a patient was suffering from griping stomachache and he went to the doctor's clinic, the doctor was not there in his chamber the patient was waiting in each moment was seeming like an age long finally when the doctor came the patient expressed his problem to him and the doctor said not to worry I've got a medicine here in the cabinet and this will cure it right away he administered the dose to the patient and in less than a minute the patient's stomach ache started subsiding the patient said Doctor The Cure was right here and I was suffering because of my lack of knowledge of it the doctor said that is exactly what it is human beings suffer in so many ways because they lack knowledge of the Cure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=0 2 Ved Vyas says, verse, the main cause of the suffering of humankind is ignorance, there is nothing as sublime (beautiful) in this world as pure wisdom even in the material realm one little bit of knowledge can make such a big difference, you know there is an affliction (disease) called scurvy the doctors here will be knowing, it gets caused when you don't receive any intake of vitamin C for a month at a stretch and that is why in the olden days the sailors who would be in their ship for one month or two would get afflicted by scurvy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=64 3 and it is such an awful disease so the colonialists who came from Europe to America in the 15th, 16th century they were getting afflicted by scurvy because of the sea voyage because probably they didn't access vitamin C. There was one vegetable that could have solved their problems and that was tomatoes, which were full of vitamin C, and yet these colonialists who died in huge numbers because of scurvy never took advantage of tomatoes for many decades because some of them had carried them to Europe and there one person had misinformed that this is like the Wolf Peach and if you eat this it will cause frothing in the mouth and it will cause twitching of the body and even death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=122 4 Everyone believed that misinformation and that was the reason that although the cure for scurvy was right in front of them but they did not utilize until somebody informed them it is not the case and then they started healing themselves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=200 5 we all know wisdom makes such a huge difference. A patient was suffering from griping stomachache and he went to the doctor's clinic, the doctor was not there in his chamber, the patient was waiting & each moment was seeming like an age long, finally when the doctor came, the patient expressed his problem to him and the doctor said not to worry I've got a medicine here in the cabinet my cupboard and this will cure it right away. He administered the dose to the patient and in less than a minute the patient's stomach ache started subsiding the patient said, doctor the cure was right here and I was suffering because of my lack of knowledge of it, the doctor said that is exactly what it is, human beings suffer in so many ways because they lack knowledge of the cure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=225 6 Ved Vyas says the main cause of the suffering of humankind is ignorance. Of course somebody may say that it is lack of availability of vaccine in developing countries that's why humankind is suffering, these are all smaller reasons and the main cause why we are unhappy, the main reason why we are not blissful, we are not experiencing love and the light of knowledge, is the ignorance that is enveloping our soul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=310 7 Why Lord Krishna spoke Bhagavad Gita? In the Bhagavad-Gita, Lord Krishna is revealing Divine knowledge to Arjun, now think who is speaking this knowledge, it's coming from the Lotus mouth of God Himself, when you keep that in mind you benefit more from the knowledge, the chitta shakti gets added, otherwise knowledge becomes devoid of chitt so Lord Krishna is bestowing that knowledge but for others to benefit from it faith must be established, without faith, people don't utilize it and to create faith in Arjun in the knowledge that he is bestowing Lord Krishna in this verse is giving its credibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=356 8 like for example there are weight reduction diets, they have this package for reducing weight but why will anybody adopt it, so they give testimonials “before & after”, people look, wow, now the faith is getting created so likewise Lord Krishna, He is developing faith in Bhagavad Gita. The Master Teacher, if he just says Arjun, here is the knowledge Arjun will hear it but never implement it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=433 9 so to establish the credibility, Lord Krishna says Arjun this knowledge I am giving you is not just to make you fight the war, it is the same science that I've bestowed in the beginning of creation, so God bestowed it to Brahmaji as we all know, verse, Srimad Bhagavatam says but here, God says that He also bestowed it to Vivasvan, the Sun god and the Sun god bestowed it to Prajapati, the progenitor of humankind that is Manu, and Manuji Maharaj, he bestowed it to the first king of the solar Dynasty which was Ikswaku so he is saying that this is how the knowledge came and that also helps create bhav towards it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=472 10 if you go to somebody's house, let us say it was your grandfather used to live there who is no more, and you are going around and then your father says you know this is the chair on which your grandfather sat for 20 years, now you look at the chair differently, the chair is the same, but the way you look at it has become different, you have got that gyan chakshu (eyes/vision) now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=540 11 Likewise you go into a temple and there is an idol made of stone, somebody who is unaware of its importance thinks it's an idol, but then you look at it with the eyes of knowledge, the pran pratishtha was done, we invoked the presence of the Lord in these deities and millions of souls till today have worshiped it – now the bhav increases and if somebody tells you, you know, it was actually first given to Jagadguru Ramanujacharya by Hanuman ji himself, who manifested it, now the way you look at that deity will be completely different, layers of devotion will have gotten added. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=575 12 likewise Lord Krishna is telling Arjun, look, it came to Manu and our Manuji Maharaj, he lives for 30 crore 67 lakh 20,000 years & our Manu ji maharaj Vaivasvat Manvantar, he is already 12 crore years old, so this knowledge, this science is so old and that also is a limited description because God is eternal and the soul is also eternal so the science of God realization is eternal that Eternal science Lord Krishna says Arjun I am now discussing it with you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVLgXE7HO00&t=631Standby link (in case youtube link does not work)
