Shrimad Bhagvad Gita

Purport

In Shlokas from 4 till 12, Shri Krishna described the definition of Kshetra and its components. Now Shri Krishna describe about "The Bramhan".
Shri Krishna describes the characteristics of the Brahman as follows
1. Bramhan is beginning-less and eternal
2. Bramhan is subordinate to Lord Krishna. In other words the Bramhan is not an independent entity but a potency or entity possessed by Shri Krishna. The same fact is described in Chapter 14.3
3. Bramhan is neither living nor non living.

Bramhan is the most important and the most complex subject of Sanatan Dharma. This is the same bramhan which is the core subject of Vedantas and a large part of Vedas. Bramhan is also the core subject of Darshana which is comprised of

Samhita, Vedtanta, Nyaya, Asteya, Yoga and Sankhya. But beyond that there is an entire scripture dedicated to this very subject, This is called as Shri Bramha Sutra. This scripture Bramh sutra is one of the core of Sanatan Philosopy

which include 1. Shri Bramha Sutra 2. Vedanta and Shrimad Bhagvad Gita.
Although Bramhan is used widely across most of the Sanatan Scriptures and is part of most of the spiritual speeches yet "Bramhan" is stil the least understood subject. The concept of Bramhan in sanatn dharma has the same
importance as the "Theory of relativity" in physics.

Knowing and understanding the concept of Bramhan is core to understanding Sanatan Dharma, and its very difficult to understand some other core concepts of Sanatan Dharma without understanding the concept of The Bramhan.

There are some of the big questions which otherwise is very difficult to answer without The Bramhan. Some of such questions are listed below

1. Life

The very first question arise is about life. What exactly is life and where does it appear to in living being in this material world. This question is still unanswered as how life can be generated from a non-living materkal world.
There is certainly some theories in science but they are still inconslusive. The most confusion part about life is that it remains for certain time and then vanishes like it never was in a living being.
The concept of Bramahn gives an alternate explanation of how this phenomena of life appear and dissapears in the living being.

2. Soul

As described in Shrimad Bhagvad Gita and elsewhere in Sanatan Scriptures, soul(The Atma) is the primeval element of life. Another fact about soul is that its eternal. But when soul is eternal it can't be created nor it can be destroyed.
For soul to be eternal it is therefor very evident that it must start with and end to an eternal and unchanging entity. The material world can't be the source of soul cause mateial wold is ever changing. The nature, its origin and then destination
of soul can be explained only and only through the concept of The bramhan.

3. Omnipresnt God

One of the characteristics of God is that he is omnipresent, that means he is present everywhere. This fact has been described in this very Chapter of Shrimad Bhagvad Gita later. The same fact is explained in Shri Purusha Suktam of RigVeda and in many other scriptures.

But other facts about God we know is that he is also a localized entiry. He has his abode, he takes forms and incarnate and he is present at some place at time T. The question arises, how a localized God can be omnipresent at the same time he is present at some place in form x,y or z.
The concept of the Bramhan gives the exact answer to this question.

4. Incarnation and The Manifiestation(Vibhuti Yoga)

Incarnation and the Manifestation are other two core concepts of Sanatan Dharma. Chapter 10 of Shrimad Bhagvad gita is dedicated entirely to the concept of Manifestation(The vibhuti yoga). Incarnation too is onre of the core concepts of Sanatan Dharma

Incarnation is a phenomena where God appears to the mortal world in some form. The manifestation explains that God or a higher deivine entity can take many forms. To explain it in simple terms, Shri Ram and Shri Krishna are the Incarnation of
Bhagvan Vishnu. So when Lord Ram or Lord Krishna incarnated Lord Vishnu was present at his abode in original form. Secondly many scriptures mention the elder brother of Shri Krishna, Shri Balram as the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Also Veda vyas is considered on incarnation of Lord Vishnu too.

So Lord Krishna. Lord Balram, Shri Ved vyas all considered as the incarnation of Lord Vishnu are present at the planet at the same time.

How is that possible? The question again can be answered by the concept of The bramhan.

4. Yoga
Yoga is another core concept of Sanatan Dharma. The word meaning of Yoga is to Attach, The spritual meaning derived from it is to attach soul to supersoul(The parmatma). Now what doees it mean to attach soul to supersoul and how that works?
Again the question is answered by the concept of Bramhan.

5. Jnana(The Knowledge)

In normal term people consider the amount of information as the knowledge. However in spriritual terms this definition does not hold. There is no such proof that a highly educated person can be very spritual. On other hand
nobody can say that uneducated person can't be spritual. In fact we have enormous examples of some great saints who were mostly uneducated or little educated. Some of them are Kabir, Meera, Sabari etc. In fact the method prescribed #
to achieve knowledge is meditation, serving Guru etc. Meditation has not relation with any education yet this gives knowledge. Similarly Bhakti enlightens many. The question arises how? Again the answer comes from the concept of Bramhan \

6 The fruits of worship

Worship is the core of religious process. People worship using all possible methods and many of them get the results. The Question arises here is, how a God who is sitting in some far away galaxy or universe is able to fulfil the wishes of his devotees?
The answer again is given by the concept of Brmahan.
There are many other questions which can be answered only by the concept of the Brmahan.
