Bhagavad Geeta- The Major Explanations (Part 2)

Bhagavad Geeta - The Major Explanations (Part 2)

In Bhagavad Geeta; it is said that when mind intellect and resolves (self-generated impressions) are under control, freed from restless desires so that they rest in the spirit within, a soul becomes a yogi; one in communion with God. When the restlessness of the mind, intellect, impressions is stilled through the practice of meditation, the yogi by the grace of spirit within himself finds fulfillment. Deliverance from contact with pain and sorrow, he experiences the joy eternal which is beyond the pale of senses. he has found the treasure above all others. There is nothing higher than this. When the senses are stilled, when the mind is in rest, when the intellect wavers not-then, say the wise, is reached the higher stage. He who attains is free from delusion.

Now let's understand the Soul through the Bhagawad Geeta. As per Bhagawad Geeta, both God(supreme soul) and the Individual Souls do exist & It also believes in the incarnation of the individual souls, their delusion and bondage to the cycle of births and deaths because of desire ridden actions. As per this, the Soul at death gets released from this body & reincarnates or return to the earth to continue its cycle of births and deaths.
