The only one difference in the one who is residing in God Consciousness

bhagavad gita god consciousness kashmir shaivism Jul 07, 2025

There is only one difference between the one who is residing in the state of God Consciousness (Parabhairava state) and the other one who is residing in his limited cycle of being.

Here, Swami Lakshmanjoo reveals the essence of Kashmir Shaivism while translating the Bhagavad Gita in the Light of Kashmir Shaivism.

DVD 3.2 (16:46)

प्रकृतेः क्रियमाणानि गुणैः कर्माणि भागशः 

अहंकारविमूढात्मा कर्ताहमिति मन्यते  ॥२७॥

तत्त्ववित्तु महाबाहो गुणकर्मविभागयोः 

गुणा गुणार्थे वर्तन्ते इति मत्वा न सज्जते  ॥२८॥

prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi bhāgaśaḥ /

ahaṅkāravimūḍhātmā kartāhamiti manyate //27//

tattvavittu mahābāho guṇakarmavibhāgayoḥ /

guṇā guṇārthe vartante iti matvā na sajjate //28//

There is only one difference between an ignorant person and that person who is residing in the Parabhairava state. [The one] who has got ego and who is residing in the limited cycle of limitation, he always thinks that, “I have done this, I have done this.” And the others who are residing in God consciousness, they say, “although I have done this, I have not done this. I am not the doer. The doers are the inferior cycles of organs. I am not the doer.” This is the difference between the one who is residing in the Parabhairava state and the other one who is residing in his limited cycle of being.
