The final six chapters,
beginning with Chapter 13,
analyzing the body, soul,
and Supersoul, are basically
knowledge in greater detail
just for the sake of getting all
the facts right.The last six
chapters treat of the path
of knowledge of Jnana
Yoga
The individual effort
was emphasized
It will be the grace of
the god that will be
emphasized
knowledge of ATMA
The first six chapters
deal with “Tvam”
WHO YOU ARE
the nature of "Thou"
or the Twam-pada.
Deal with “Tat” ATMAN
meaning "That" or
Tat-pada.
The term "Art" or Asi-
pada, which establishes
the identity of the
individual and the
Supreme Soul.
In short, all these are necessary to achieve the goal of liberation.

Chapters 7 to 9 may be understood as the
pure science of Brahman.Krishna ends the ninth chapter with the
imperative to fix the mind on Krishna (Bg.9.34 “Man mana...”)
Conclusion of Chapter 9 is that one should become a pure devotee of the
Lord
http://srimadbhagvatgita.blogspot.com/2013/07/bhagavad-gita-chapter-10-vibhooti-yogah.html
Thus the Bhagavad Gita gives us an integrated
and
complete data about the Absolute, Supreme Being.
Chapter 11 as the practical
demonstration of
what had been stated in these
Chapters.
Chapter 10 describes the Lord’s
opulence on which a devotee
can fix his mind and how to
remember Him when we see
opulent, powerful and beautiful
things in this world

Yoga Through Appreciating the Opulences of Shri Bhagavan
By sincerely and constantly studying this chapter, one will understand that
Shri Krishna is the basis of all vibhutis (opulences) and
saktis (energies).
The entire material universe with all its opulences
is just one quarter of His majesty.
When one attains knowledge o the vibhutis,
one can easily understand that everything is
directly or indirectly related to Bhagavan.
Bhagavan bestows buddhi-yoga upon His bhaktas so that they attain
tattva-jnana. In this way, thei ignorance is destroyed and they engage
in bhajana with love (priti).
Why Krishna presenting his OPULENCES ?
Like a Powerful & Influential person telling Arjuna what
he has created and what he is.

1. One Who Understands Krishna’s
Unknowable Position and
Serves Him
(10. 1-7).

To make this even clearer,
Krishna’s will now speak the
catuh sloki .
A. Anyone knowing Krishna’s as the
unborn Lord and the source of all
sages and demigods is undeluded
and free from all sins. (10.-3)
B.All qualities and attitudes are created by
Krishna’s. Even the progenitors come from
His mind (10.4-6).
C. Those who know Krishna’s’s
glories engage in devotional service
(10.7) Because the knowledge is not
different from Krishna’s it increases
one’s devotion for Him, or gives it if
one has none.
1.about to tell him some very
important information, and He
really wants to make sure that
Arjuna is fully attentive.
2. The demigods and sages
don’t know this. Why? Because
Krishna is the source of them.
Such things can only be known
by His mercy.
3.Krishna’s will now make
contrasts between Himself and
the sages and demigods.
10.4-5. Important qualities, but one cannot
know Him through them directly, because
He's their source.
6. All these great persons also don't
understand Krishna’s, because He is their
source.
10.7. One who knows these things
becomes inspired in devotional service,
and thus can approach Krishna. Through
knowing these things one gets the faith in
Krishna’s to surrender to Him.
Idea is that one has to hear from Krishna’s
about Himself (or from His devotees) if one
is to understand Him. Otherwise no matter
who you are or what your qualifications are
you won't be able to

level of love of God.1.
10.9. Their minds

Their life airs have come

cannot maintain their
lives.
This is their food..
10.10.They have prapati,
so what is the need for
buddhi-yoga?
Krishna answers: To
enter into their direct
relationship with Me.
10.11.Whatever traces
of ignorance may still
be there due to karma I
personally remove.
For such ananya
bhaktas, I maintain
them and give them the
intelligence to act
properly. They need go
nowhere else.
Gita - Chapter 10 - SECTION B CATUR SLOKA GITA (10 . 8-11)
Krishna says: I give them
inspiration within their
hearts.
It doesn't come from within
themselves, or any other
source.
It comes only from Me, and
can be accepted only by
them.
Then they come into My
direct association
So this "buddhi yoga" is
the inspiration. It is Me. It
is my personal
association..
Then I manifest My
transcendental qualities
and form for them.
B. CHATUR SLOKA GITA (10.8-11)

10.16-17. Please describe to me
A-Your divine opulences,
B-By which you pervade all the worlds and reside in them.
C- How may I know you and think of you.
D-And while meditating, in what forms can I think of you,
10.18-“Why are you again and again asking? I
have already explained “aham sarvasya.---Arjuna
replies “that was just the seed. By Your sweet
teachings You have created in me a greed to hear
about You, and because of that You are making
me beg You again and again. My ears have
become like tongues, and they long to taste more
of this nectar4.
BHAGAVAD GITA Study by Bhakticaru Swami
1. Arjuna is very deeply affected
and glorifies Krishna very
beautifully, citing previous
authorities. Then he finally really
surrenders to Krishna (10.12-15)
2. Arjuna asks Krishna to tell him some of His
opulences, so he will be able to think of Him
(mayy asakta manah) (16-18)
10.12-15. Basically Arjuna is saying
that You are so amazing and so
great that only You can understand
yourself. And the only way anyone
else could understand you would
be by Your mercy.

4. Krishna’s
Opulences
(19-42)
The idea is that when one sees these
things one will realize that they are
so exceptional that only God
could be responsible for their
existing.
Read from 10.33.
“A” is included in all letters
The womanly qualities are actually all
female persons.
He is even the gambling of cheats
39. The idea is that one can
see everything related to Him.
40.
41-42. Actually all this is quite
insignificant. With just a tiny
part of Himself Lord Krishna
is sustaining everything in
existence.
19. Krishna addresses
Arjuna as “hanta”. This
is a particularly
endearing term,
something like
“darling”, and indicates
Krishna’s extreme
feelings of mercy
towards Arjuna..
A.Krishna agrees to describe
His opulences to some extent
(10.19).
B..Krishna’s opulences,
presents in a list of groups
(10.20-38)
C. Krishna sums up (10.39-42) .
The Lord is all-pervading by
the expansion of His partial
representation, the
Supersoul, who enters into
everything that is. Pure
devotees, therefore,
concentrate their minds in

Of all the trees, the fig tree (ficus religiosa) is looked upon as a manifestation
of the glory of God. It is also the center of so many rituals that are supposed
to yield the desired fruits.
The word Ashwatha is also broken up as
"A,"
Shwa, and
Tha,
which means "nothing for tomorrow."
Symbolically, this means that the aspirant attains Self-knowledge and is not
required to be born again.
http://www.americanyogaassociation.org/Rama%20Gita%2013.html

What is the meaning of Ashvattha Tree ?
GITA Ch 15 , Verse 1
Asvattham : 'svah’ means 'tomorrow,' and ‘na sthah’
means 'not existing'.
So Ashvattha means 'not existing tomorrow’
It continues till the moment when true knowledge is attained.
It stops and disappears then.
So it is in one sense imperishable and inanother sense perishable.
It is rightly described as ‘Asvatthah’, because of its perishable
and mutable character.
But it is described here as 'avyayam'-not perishing. How ? The
explanation is, here Samsara, like a flood, flows ceaselessly,
birth and death occurring in an endless series for man.
This tree of Samsara is of doubtful existence. No one can say
whether it exists the next day or even the next hour, or even
the next minute. It is perishable.

GITA CH 10, v 39
A big tree --- with many branches,
leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds ---
remains inside a tiny seed in
unmanifest form
Similarly, all manifestations remain in
the Absolute in unmanifest form
become manifest during creation
and unmanifest
during dissolution again and again.
