श्रीमद् भगवद्गीता

Mahabharata ka sabse pavitra aur amulya ansh hai Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta. Kurukshetra ke yuddhbhoomi mein jab dono senaayein aamne-saamne khadi theen, tab Arjun ne Bhagwan Krishna se rath ko dono senaon ke beech mein le jaane ko kaha.

Jab Arjun ne dekha ki yuddhbhoomi mein unke saamne unke apne Pitamah Bhishma, Guru Dronacharya, Mama Shalya, bhai-bandhu aur anya priyajan khade hain, tab unka shareer kaampne laga, munh sookh gaya aur haathon se Gandiv dhanush gir gaya. Arjun gahre vishad mein doob gaye.

Arjun ne Krishna se kaha — "He Keshav! Main apne swajano ka vadh nahi kar sakta. Aise rajya se kya labh jo apno ke rakt se ranga ho? Mujhe yuddh nahi karna hai." Yah kahkar Arjun ne apna dhanush-baan rakh diye aur rath mein baith gaye.

Tab Bhagwan Shri Krishna ne Arjun ko Geeta ka divya updesh diya. Sabse pehle unhone aatma ke amaratva ka gyaan diya — "Vasamsi jeernani yatha vihaya" — jaise manushya purane vastra tyaagkar naye dhaaran karta hai, vaise hi aatma purane shareer ko tyaagkar naye shareer mein pravesh karti hai. Aatma ko na shastra kaat sakte hain, na agni jala sakti hai, na jal bhigo sakta hai, na vayu sukha sakti hai.

Krishna ne Karmayog ka updesh diya — "Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana" — tumhara adhikar keval karm karne mein hai, phal mein kabhi nahi. Nishkam bhaav se karm karna hi sarvottam marg hai. Phal ki chinta kiye bina apne kartavya ka paalan karo.

Bhagwan ne Bhaktiyog ka marg bhi bataya — "Sarvadharman parityajya mam ekam sharanam vraja" — sab dharmon ko tyaagkar meri sharan mein aao, main tumhe sab paapon se mukt kar dunga. Bhakti ka marg sabse saral aur sulabh hai.

Gyanyog mein Krishna ne Brahm, Aatma aur Maya ka vistrit varnan kiya. Unhone bataya ki sansaar mein teen gun — Sattva, Rajas aur Tamas — sab kuchh niyantrit karte hain. In gunon se oopar uthkar hi manushya moksh prapt kar sakta hai.

Bhagwan Krishna ne Arjun ko apna Vishwaroop darshan karaya. Arjun ne dekha ki Krishna ke shareer mein samast brahmaand samaya hua hai — anant mukh, anant netra, anant bhujaayein. Surya aur Chandrama unke netra hain, Agni unka mukh hai. Yah divya roop dekhkar Arjun bhaybhit aur vismit ho gaye.

Geeta ka updesh sunkar Arjun ka moh aur vishad door ho gaya. Unhone kaha — "He Krishna! Mera moh nasht ho gaya hai, mujhe smriti prapt ho gayi hai. Main aapki aagya ka paalan karunga." Iske baad Arjun ne Gandiv uthaya aur yuddh ke liye taiyaar ho gaye.

Sanjay ne yah saara samvaad Dhritarashtra ko sunaya. Vedvyas dwara di gayi divya drishti se Sanjay ne yah sab apne netron se dekha tha. Geeta ke 18 adhyaay aur 700 shlok Bharatiya darshan ka sarvochch granth hai.
