Bhagavad Geeta 63 - Chapter 6 - Bannanje Govindacharya (6.5 - 6.8)

Описание: 6.5 to 6.7 can be interpreted in several ways based on meanings of Aatma.

6.5
Aatma interpreted as body - One should uplift the Jeeva/self with the body (Aatmanaa - with body) and should not degrade oneself. The body alone is the friend of the Jeeva/self, and the body alone is the enemy of the Jeeva/self.
Aatma interpreted as mind - One should uplift the Jeeva/self with the mind (Aatmanaa - with mind) and should not degrade oneself. The mind alone is the friend of the Jeeva/self, and the body alone is the enemy of the Jeeva/self.
Aatma interpreted as the Jeeva - One should uplift the Jeeva/self themselves (Aatmanaa - with Jeeva/self) and should not degrade oneself. One is his own friend and he is his own enemy.
Aatma interpreted as the Bhagavanta - One must uplift the Jeeva/self through Bhagavanta itself i.e. one must request Bhagavanta itself to uplift since everything is in his hands (Aatmanaa - with Bhagavanta). One must not degrade oneself without doing this. Bhagavanta is the friend of the self (if one views him as the friend - Dwa Suparna Sayuja Sakhaaya) and the enemy as well (if one views him as the enemy like Asuras do).

6.6
Aatma interpreted as body - For one who has conquered his body (i.e. it is in his control), the body is a friend. For one who hasn’t, it is like an enemy.
Aatma interpreted as mind - For one who has conquered his mind (i.e. it is in his control), the mind is a friend. For one who hasn’t, it is like an enemy.
Aatma interpreted as Jeeva - For one who has conquered himself (i.e. he has himself in control), he is his own friend. For one who hasn’t, he is his own enemy.
Aatma interpreted as the Bhagavanta - For one who has won over Bhagavanta (i.e. pleased Bhagavanta - olisikondava), Bhagavanta is a friend. For one who hasn’t, Bhagavanta is like an enemy.

6.7 and 6.8
Those who have conquered Aatma (body, mind, self or Bhagavanta), are always peaceful in all situations - heat or cold, pleasure or pain, honor or dishonor, they have the presence of Bhagavanta within them. Krishna says that by attaining Jnyana (knowledge) and Vijnyaana (deep knowledge or seeing Bhagavanta itself), one conquers senses and becomes steadfast like the space. At this stage, a Yogi (i.e Saadhaka) becomes a Yukta (i.e. Siddha - one who has completed Saadhane). For such a person, all material things - gold, stone, sand are all the same.
Jnyana and Vijnyaana - knowledge and deep scientific knowledge. Or shared knowledge and exclusive knowledge. Or knowledge and Aparoksha Jnyana.
Sheeta-Ushna-Sukha-Duhkheshu - “Cold-and-hot happiness-and-sorrow” - Cold-and-hot is an adjective for happiness-and-sorrow. It is used to indicate that happiness and sorrow are not the same for everyone and at all times.
Kootastha - steadfast like space - unaffected by anything.
Example from Bannanje Govindacharya's life where Vidya Manya asked him to receive an award but he rejected it so that future expectations of awards don't arise.
Maana Apaamaan - A Jnyani is the same in honor and dishonor. Very hard for people who aren't Aparoksha Jnyanis.
Such a Jnyani sees everything - gold, stone, sand - everything equally.
