Tat Tvam Asi - Pathikonda Viswambaranath

The essence of the Gita is to make one realise Tat Tvam Asi. We are really the atman or Divinity with an outer covering of the physical body consisting of the mind and the intellect. Tat Tvam Asi is a 'great Upanisadic sentence' exhorting us to realise our own divine identity. To realise one's own divine status, to realise the same divine status in all forms manifest in the universe is to realise the oneness of all beings. It is in two parts comprising in all 872 pages. Srimad Bhagavadgita is a part of Trinity (Prasthanatrayee) of Hindu religious texts. It encompasses cosmology, sociology, anthropology, the duties of man, conduct, human affairs in all relationships. Most of all, it is the most valuable treatise on psychology dealing with great obstacles such as ego and over attachment to worldly goods. It is the shining embodiment of eternal wisdom. Spiritual truths are not reached or attained by the workings of the logical mind. The compass of the logical mind is narrow and limited. All great spiritual truths are beyond this limited circle. They are perceived or experienced in a supra-sensual state. Srimad Bhagavadgita expounds the goals of this spiritual life.;It also provides the unique technology for their attainment.
