Over the years, I have come to view happiness as a choice rather than a feeling. I’ll admit, sometimes it is much harder to choose than at other times. There are, however, many things we can do to help ourselves stay in that place of happiness, joy, and gratitude...
Loneliness is a feeling of sadness or distress about being by yourself or feeling disconnected from the world around you. It may be felt more over a long period of time. It is also possible to feel lonely, even when surrounded by people. Isolation is being separated from other people and your environment.

This closing chapter of Bhagavad Geeta is a summary of the entire 'Song of the Lord'. The Chapter starts with a question from Arjuna about the distinction between Sannyasa (Renunciation) & Tyaga (Abandonment). The Lord goes on to explain the difference between the two. Then He discusses the Essential Duties, which are not to be discarded by anybody. The major part of the chapter deals with an exhaustive analysis the impact of the three Gunas Sattva, Rajas & Tamas on the whole life & activities of man. The chapter ends with the Lord's declaration that anyone leaving aside all his Dharmas takes shelter in Him will be liberated from birth & death, & will attain the Status of the Supreme.
In this chapter, Lord Krishna gives a thorough exposition of 'faith' as seen in the various fields of man's endeavors- his physical indulgences (food), his dedicated activities (Yajna), his self-denials (Tapas), & his charities (Dana). He explains that 'Shraddha' (resolve) is of three types, according to the nature of the Gunas in people.-Sattvic, Rajasic & Tamasic. Finally, He explains the meaning of the phrase "Om-Tat-Sat" in the various activities of men.
This Chapter discusses the types of manifestations that are available in the living world when the same 'Knower', the Eternal Spirit, expresses Itself through various 'Fields'. It describes the mental contents of the good as compared with those of the bad. The Chapter opens with an exhaustive list of 26 noble Traits in a cultured man living the spiritual way-of-life. This is followed by another extensive listing of the bad qualities, which should be avoided. The bad characters or Demons continue to live their vile lives, birth after birth,& are never able to come up spiritually. Finally the Lord advises seekers to avoid the three 'gates of hell', lust, anger & hatred to lead a good life & attain liberation. In conclusion, Krishna states that the Scriptures form the authority to be followed by all for righteous action.
This chapter discusses the nature of the Spirit in all its implications. The Infinite is defined in terms of the finite perishable world as the Imperishable, Infinite, Changeless Factor. Then it is brought out that the Experiencer of the changes is something other than the Changeless. It is only one aspect of the Supreme Reality, just as a man, called Father, by his children, is much more than just the father. The Supreme Reality is defined here as the Supreme Purusha, the PURUSHOTTAMA.
This chapter is an exhaustive handbook of instructions explaining the working of the subtle body & providing some tips to readjust ourselves when the inner mechanism gets chocked up. The One Truth expresses through a world-of-Matter, producing an innumerable variety of life forms. The reason for this multiplicity are the Gunas, Sattva (Unactivity), Rajas (Activity) & Tamas (Inactivity), all born of Prakriti. These three, in different proportions, influence the mental & intellectual caliber of every individual.
This is one of the most famous & brilliant chapters of the Geeta which gives the student a very direct explanation for, & almost a personal experience of the Self in him, free from his material equipment & their misinterpretations, the world-of-objects. An exhaustive exposition on how to meditate directly upon the Imperishable Formless Spirit is given here. Spirit functioning through matter-envelopments is the living organism. To undress to get rid off matter, we must have a precise knowledge of all that constitutes matter in us. This discrimination between the inert matter-equipment & the vibrant spark-of-Life, the Spirit, is presented in this chapter.
Chapter 12, Bhakti Yoga or the Path of Devotion discusses the principle of devotion, the characteristics of a devotee & how to attain the Supreme through devotion. The last chapter ends with the statement of the Lord that only through unwavering devotion, one will be able to see & merge with the Universal-Form of the Lord. This creates a doubt in Arjuna as to the proper way of worship, & the chapter starts with a question from him.
In this chapter, Lord Krishna gives a physical demonstration of the Oneness of everything in this universe. The separateness of objects arises from the presence of the intervening space. Suppose we remove the space, then everything becomes one. This is the concept of COSMIC-MAN. Here Lord Krishna shows, through 'eyes of Knowledge' granted to Arjuna, His Cosmic-Form. The exquisite dramatist in Sage Vyasa has squeezed the Sanskrit language to feed the beauty of his literary masterpiece. He paints beautifully, the emotions of wonderment, amazement, fear, reverence, devotion etc. in Arjuna. In the dignity of concept, in the beauty of diction, in the artistry of its depiction & in its inner stream of drama, this chapter has been rightly upheld by all as one of the highest philosophical poems in the world.
Chapter 10, named Vibhuti Yoga describes the Power or Lordship & the Pervasiveness Or Immanence of the SELF. The essence in the world of plurality is the SELF. Here Lord Krishna identifies Himself as the most prominent & Chief Factor in all classes of beings, & as the Supreme Factor without which the different classes of beings, objects & ideas cannot exist. To give a glimpse of His pervasiveness & glory, Krishna gives 54 different examples from among
Chapter 9 of Bhagavad Geeta, entitled "Rajavidya Rajaguhya Yoga" discusses the Royal Knowledge of Pure Consciousness, in whose light all conditioned-knowledge are made possible. Krishna Himself calls this Science of the Absolute "the most secret (profound) Science". It is promised in the beginning itself that both speculative & practical aspects of this Knowledge will be told here. Not only the theory of self-perfection but also the logic behind it all are discussed in this chapter. This is the profound Knowledge combined with experience, having known which there is nothing more to be known, & one shall be free from the sorrows of life.
The "Yoga of the Imperishable Brahman" should be understood here as the "Way to Imperishable Brahman". After answering the questions raised by Arjuna, the Lord explains how those who can remember the Infinite at the time of their departure from the body will reach the Infinite. So He advises Arjuna to remember the Infinite always & face his life diligently. Here, Krishna explains splendidly the nature of the Infinite upon which the seeker is to fix his single-pointed mind. Then He explains the Path-of-Light & the Path-of-Darkness, the former leading to the Imperishable & the latter necessitating the return to the world.
Here the technique of "Practical Vedanta" has been completely & fully explained. Krishna's explanations here make us clearly understand that the Self is the Reality upon which all actions, the instruments of action, & the world-of-perceptions are superimposed, & so, by knowing the Self everything is known.
With Chapter 7 we enter the second triad of Geeta describing "That" in the Mahavakya "That Thou Art". Here the Lord starts describing the "Goal of the Spiritual Science" the Supreme Self. In the beginning, Sri Krishna promises Arjuna that He would explain the entire science of Spirituality, both theoretical & practical aspects, to clear all his doubts. Then He proceeds to explain the two Prakrities, Para & Apara, of the Self. He describes the 8-fold lower Prakriti, the Apara, consisting of the 5 elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Space, & mind, intellect & ego. Beyond all these is the Lords Para Prakriti, the Spark of Life, Pure Consciousness, which supports all life in the universe. The two aspects of the Self, as Purusha & Prakriti create the whole 'Jagat'- the world-of-change. The One Self forms the core of all life, & everything is hung on It as pearls in a neckless. Then the Lord describes Himself as the Dharma-the Law-of-Being of everything. All matter exist in the Spirit, but the Spirit is not in Matter. Matter is just Super-imposed on Spirit, to be alive. Maya with its 'Veiling" & 'Projecting' action prevents all from recognizing the Self within them.
This chapter entitled "Atma Samyama Yoga" or" Yoga of Meditation" gives a wealth of details, explaining not only the technique of Meditation, but also the possible pitfalls & how to avoid them successfully. Though all Hindu Scriptures hint at the Path-of-Meditation as the way to reach the highest possibilities in life, nowhere is the topic discussed so thoroughly as here. A thorough study of this chapter gives ample direction & guidance to a seeker to reach the Highest, through Meditation.
In this Chapter Lord Krishna talks about renunciation of Karma & Sannyasa for one's spiritual development. After describing Karma-Yoga in the previous chapters, Sri Krishna describes here how one should intelligently renounce Karma & enter the nobler spiritual technique of meditation. This chapter is a bridge between Karma-Yoga & Pure Meditation. It describes: what is the spirit of renunciation & how the "Yoga-of-renunciation-of action" can be practiced.
Chapter 4 of Bhagavad Geeta gives the path of Jnana Yoga, the path-of-Knowledge, the main archway through which all pilgrims must pass to reach the SELF. Sri Krishna here reveals His Divine Nature. Action is defined in its widest form. Various techniques of Yajna to attain the Supreme Knowledge are indicated. How to attain the ultimate Knowledge from a Guru is explained. SELF-KNOWLEDGE is extolled as the ultimate aim of man.
The Chapter 3, entitled " Karma Yoga" is an elaboration of the Hindu ideal of "Selfless Action" first introduced by the famous verse 47 in Chapter 2--Karmanyevaadhikaarasthe-----. After hearing the exposition of various ways of attaining liberation in Chapter 2, Arjuna is really confused. Still deluded, he wanted a confirmation of his desire to quit the war & take-up Sannyasa. So he raises the question : If Krishna feels that the path of knowledge is better than the path of action, why is he being goaded to fight this war? He wanted a clear cut answer to his quest for a righteous life. In reply to this question, the Lord elaborates on the principle of Karma Yoga, the Yoga of selfless action in this chapter 3.
Chapter 2, entitled Sankhya Yoga, is the starting point of the philosophical discourse between Sri Krishna & Arjuna. This chapter is a summarised version of all of Bhagavad Geeta as it introduces all the philosophical points which are elaborated in later chapters. It is called the Yoga of Knowledge. Sankhya yoga deals with the knowledge of the universe & its Substratum, the Atman, Brahman, or Self. The chapter initially talks about Sankhya yoga, then Karma Yoga & Bhakti yoga. It concludes with the Yoga of renunciation.
Chapter 1 of Bhagavad Geeta, entitled the Arjuna Vishada Yoga introduces the scenery & circumstances in which this great philosophical discourse took place. Arjuna, the Pandava prince, leading the Pandava forces against the Kauravas in the ensuing Mahabharata war, gets disheartened by the prospect of killing his great grandfather, uncles, brothers & other close relatives, & filled with confusion & sorrow decides to not fight the war. Sri Krishna, his close friend & charioteer, advises him & revives him back to fight this war against impropriety & unrighteousness.
The Holy Geeta is the commentary of Bhagavad Gita by Poojya Swami Chinmayananda. This presentation gives a general introduction to the book as well as Bhagavad Gita.
Chapter 18, The Moksha Sannyasa Yoga, is the final chapter of Bhagavad Gita. Here Lord Krishna concludes his advise to Arjuna, & talks about Renunciation & Liberation. His firm opinion of Sannyasa is that you should renounce your attachments to actions & continue to do all your duties without attachment, & as offerings to the Lord. He talks about activities, their origin, classification, & the real doer of karma.. He explains the three types of happiness, the duties of the four types of people, the three types of knowledge, karma, the doer, intellect,& will. Finally He advises Arjuna to do his duty without attachment, but with concentration, while remembering God. "Leave all your duties & obligations & take shelter in Me, I shall redeem you from all your obligations'- the Ultimate Advice of the Lord.
