SrI: Dear BhakthAs of Lord PaarTasArathy : Today , we will study the TENTH Chapter of SrImath Bhagvath GeethA .This chapter has 42 slOkams . This chapter is about the manifestation of the Divine glories of the Lord . AchArya RaamAnujA summarizes the purport of the Tenth Chapter this way : Having taught Bhakthi yOgA in the ninth chapter , Our Lord wanted to induce such Bhakthi and sustain it in Arjuna. Hence , He taught Arjuna further about His anantha klayANa guNams ( "multitudes of auspicious attributes ") and that His rulership over the universe (soverignity ) is uncontested and without any match.The Lord revealed further that the Universe is ruled by His will and it serves as His Sareeram and Himself residing inside it as its indweller (antharyAmi). For creating Bhakthi for Him in those who did not have it before and for growing the Bhakthi of those who already have it , Bhagavan revealed that He has limitless auspicous attributes and that Svaroopa , Sthithi and pravrutthi of all created beings are under His sole control. This is the message of the Tenth Chapter. Swamy Desikan's summary of the 10th chapter ************************************************* yellaillAtha tann seelamAm innamuthakkadalum yellaillAtha vibhUthi yelAm tanathu Aanamyum yellayil bhatthi tanai yezhuvikkat-thiruvaruLAl yellayil Isan iyambinan Indhiran MainthanukkE -- 13 the Paasuram of GeethArtha Sangraham Meaning of the First line of the Paasuram : ********************************************* " Yellai illAtha tann seelamAm innamudhak- kadalum " Our Lord is the indweller of all beings ; He is totally devoid of any dhOshams . He is the abode of all auspicious attributes ; He rules all from His position as the indweller. He is thus different in every way from the sentients and the insentients. Those who understand His svaroopam ( intrinsic nature ) and svabhAvam would be freed of all obstacles to Bhakthi unto Him and will be devoted to Him with unassailable bhakthi. Meaning of the second line of the Paasuram ********************************************** " yellai ilAtha vibhUthi yelAm Tanathu aanamayum " Our Lord uses one trillionth of His power as the ruler of the universe to be present in a pervasive manner in all of His created objects and beings. The disposition to begin some thing or to cease from any activity arises from the sankalpam of Lord , the indweller . The sentients and insentients of the universe can not overcome the will of the Lord during the state of Kaaryam , KaaraNam , manifestation in the gross (sthUlam ) or subtle ( Sookshmam ) or in the states of creation , protection or dissolution (i.e)., They can not transgress His sankalpam in any one of the above states . Meaning of the Third line of the Paasuram ******************************************** " yellayil bhatthi tanai yezhuvikka " Those who comprehend that the Lord is the abode of anantha kalyANa guNams and that he rules the universe as its KaaraNam will always have their minds united with the Lord. They can not sustain themselves even for one second without Him . They will exchange their knowledge about the auspicous attributes of the Lord with other BhAgavathAs.They will stay happy in reciting or hearing about the sweet , superhuman deeds(athimAnusha leelais) of the Lord . Their Bhakthi will grow on and on forever. The Meaning od the fourth line of the Paasuram ************************************************** " ( ThiruvaruLAl ) yellayil Isan iyambinan Indhiran mainthanukkE " The Lord of infinite auspicious attributes instructed Arjuna , the son of Indhran , the secrets about Bhakthi yOgam with great compassion . Swamy AaLavanthAr's summary of the 9th Chapter ***************************************************** sva-kalyANa guNAnanthya kruthsna-svAdheenatAmathi: bhakthyuthpatthi vivrudhyarTA vistheerNA dasamOdhitha: --- 14th SlOkam of GeethArTa Sangraham (Meaning): This tenth chapter reveals that BhagavAn's KalyANa guNams are infinite . All of these guNams are under the total control of BhagavAn ( Bhagavath adheenam). Lord's soverignity over the entire universe created by Him is unmatched and is ruled by Him alone through His sankalpam . The universe is His body and He is the indweller of all the chEthanams and achEthanams of this universe . Those who comprehend clearly the tatthvams revealed in this chapter will become full of Bhakthi , if they did not have Bhakthi for the Lord before ; those who had Bhakthi before would experience a growth in that Bhakthi .
