Hamsa Gita

Swinney,

can I say one thing in between? Because this came up in the Uddhava Gita.

Remember, I gave a summary sometime few weeks ago, right?

Yes, yes, yes.

So in the first sentence you have, sometimes ahankara is a conscious anatma which is capable of aham thought and is evident because of chidabaza, reflection and all that.

Right? So, Swami Ji, whose lecture I was listening to in the Uddhava Gita, he says that Ahankara is a very, very tricky thing.

But, he says, very simple thing.

Just sit quietly and start inquiring into Ahankara.

Will you be kind enough to clarify? Uddhava, what I spoke to Arjuna in the battlefield then is Bhagavad Gita.

What I will speak now to you is Uddhava Gita.

I have created this opportunity just for that.

Ask without hesitation.

And that comes to Sri Aurobindo, but we will put a pause there for the moment.

So what does Sri Krishna do? He sends His emissary Uddhava.

A few things happen here and there.

He goes to the palace of Akroor.

He is a cruel person.

All this they say.

And then comes what we know today as Uddhava Gita.

He gives in few short passages what his message is.
