As I had mentioned earlier, for it is suitable to keep on
writing on Gita as and when it appears in mind, rather
than mechanically sticking to the sequence of chapters.
Hence after, I have “finished” writing on the content of
18 chapters, now I am again starting to add the addenda!
In chapter 3, Lord Krishna expresses His concern about
the common people, who follow the reputed individuals
in the society!
Even as this is grossly true; this is an obvious statement.
In addition to this obvious meaning, Lord Krishna
appears to imply that; in any system; the control
mechanisms or the regulating centers or the higher
centers are followed by rest of the component parts. This
is true for the whole universe, society and the human
body also.
In other words; the higher self of an individual has the
responsibility to behave in tune with the cosmic
consciousness so that rest of the consciousness trapped in
the body systems also can follow the suite.
Similarly, the position of the leaders in the different
fields in society is that of the higher centers in the human
body. They must follow SWADHARMA so that the
whole society gets guidance and lives in order, unity and
harmony. If the leaders misbehave, then the society is

bound to perish.
This applies to human body also. If the higher centers in
the human body get deranged then the whole body would
go in disarray.
What is KARMAMUKTI or BANDHAMUKTI?
I seem to understand that this is nothing else but the
freedom of our consciousness from the shackling
influence of biophysical, biochemical and physiological
activities. This is possible through linking with the
cosmic consciousness, by anchoring to the name of that
cosmic consciousness called NAMA and remembering
the NAMA (called NAMASMARAN) is focusing on and
getting linked and gradually merged with the cosmic
consciousness! In Gita Lord Krishna is the cosmic
consciousness.
