1. EVERY ONE, CHILDREN OF GOD: “The immortal soul in the body is a part of mine and it is HE who draws the five senses and the sixth the mind that dwell in nature.” All human beings are children of God.15/7
2. PURPOSE OF THE HUMAN BODY: ‘It hardly needs saying that since pious Brahmin and royal sages (rajarshi) attain to salvation, you should also renounce this miserable, ephemeral, mortal body and always engage in my worship.”
“Although devoid of money and comforts, yet rare to gain, while you are in the human body worship me. The right for such worship is granted to all those in a human body.”9/33
3. ONLY TWO CASTES IN HUMAN BEINGS: “There are in the world, O’ Parth, two kinds of beings, the pious, on whom I have already dwelt at length, and the devilish of whom you will now hear from me. There are only two types of human beings, the ’Deva’ (divine) of whom the heart is dominated by the noble traits, and the ’Asura’ (devil) whose evil traits dominate the hearts. In this entire creation, there are no other types of human beings.16/6
4. FULFILMENTS OF EVERY DESIRETHROUGH GOD: “Men who do pious deeds enjoined by the three Vedas, who have tasted nectar and freed themselves from sin, and who wish for heavenly existence through worshipping me by Yagya, go to heaven (Indralok), and enjoy godly pleasures as a reward for their virtuous acts.” 9/20
‘Through worshipping me, people aspire to reach the heaven and I grant it to them’. Therefore, everything can be easily attained through the grace of Supreme Being.’
5. ELIMINATION OF EVERY SIN BY TAKINGREFUGE IN THE SUPREME BEING: “Even if you are the most heinous sinner, the ark of knowledge will carry you safely across all evils.” Even the worst of all sinners can undoubtedly gain access to the Supreme Being by using the boat of wisdom. 4/36
6. KNOWLEDGE: “Constantly resting is the awareness that is called adhyatmya and perception of the Supreme spirit who is the end of realization of truth are all knowledge and whatever is contrary to them is ignorance. Dedication to the wisdom of the supreme soul, and the direct perception of Eternal Wisdom, which is the manifestation of the Supreme Soul, constitute the components of the real wisdom. Any thing, other than these is ignorance. Thus direct perception of God is wisdom." 13/11
7. EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO WORSHIP: “Even if a man of the most depraved conduct worships me incessantly, he is worthy of being regarded as a saint because he is a man of true resolve. Thus he shortly becomes pious and achieves eternal peace, and so, O Son of Kunti, you should know beyond any doubt that my worshipper is never destroyed.”
‘A great sinner even, if worships ME with one pointedness and single mindedness shall be transformed into a noble soul and shall attain the everlasting peace within’. Therefore, a noble soul is the one who has dedicated himself to the Supreme Being. 9/30-31
8. EVERLASTING SEED IN DIVINE PATH: “Since selfless action neither wears out the seed from which it sprang nor has any adverse consequence, even a partial observance of this dharm liberates (one) from the dire terror (of repeated birth and death).”
Even a small amount of action performed with a goal of self realization shall elevate the seeker from the terrible fear of birth and death cycles.
9. THE ABODE OFTHE SUPREME BEING: “Propelling all living things that best ride a body which is but a contrivance by his maya, O Arjun, God abides in the hearts of all beings. Seek refuge with all your heart, O Bharat, in that God by whose grace you will attain to repose and the everlasting, ultimate bliss.”
