Bhagavad Gita As It Is.

INTRODUCTION.

It is continuation of my previous post,

What is this consciousness? This consciousness is "I .am." Then what am I? In contaminated cohsciousness "I am" means "I am. the lord of all I .survey I am the enjoyer.". The world revolves because.every living being thinks that he is the .lord andcreator of the material world. Material consciousness has two psychic. divisions. One .is that I am the creator, and the other is that I ·am the enjoyer. But actually the Supreme·Lqrd is both the creator and the enjoyer,-and the living entity, being part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, is neither the creator nor the enjoyer, but a cooperator. He is the created and the enjoyed. For instance, a.part of a machine cooperates with the whole machine; a'part,of the body cooperates with the whole body. The hands, feet, eyes, legs and, so on are .all parts of the body: but. they
are not actually the enjoyers. The stomach is the enjoyer. The legs move, the hands supply food, the teeth chew and all parts of the body are engaged in satisfying the stomach because the stomach is the principal factor that nourishes the body's organization. Therefore everything is given to the stomach. One nourishes the tree by watering its root, and one nourishes the body by feeding the stomach, for if the body is to be kept in a healthy
state, then the parts of the body must cooperate to feed the stomach. Similarly, the Supreme Lord is the enjoyer and the creator, and we, as subordinate living beings, are meant to cooperate to satisfy Him. This cooperation will actually help us, just as food taken by the stomach will help all other parts of the body. If the fingers of the hand think that they
should take the food themselves instead of giving it to the stomach, then they will be frustrated. The central figure of creation and of enjoyment is the Supreme Lord, and the living entities are cooperators. By cooperation they enjoy. The relation is also like that of the master and the servant. If the master is fully satisfied, then the servant is satisfied. Similarly, the Supreme Lord should be satisfied, although the tendency to become the creator and the tendency to enjoy the material world are there also in the living entities because these tendencies are there in the Supreme Lord who has created the manifested cosmic world.

Note: It is to inform that it is not my own written material. With a divine intention of service,
to spread the message of Lord Krsna, I am trying to post the Book "Bhagavad Gita As It Is" without changing even a single word also.
