    Bhagavadgeeta - Adhyaya 16 Chapter #:  16 Chapter Name:  Devaasura Sampath Vibhaga Yoga (  ದೈವಾಸುರಸಂಪದ್ವಿಭಾಗಯೋಗಃ ) Total verses (slokas) in this chapter:  24 Adhyaya - 16, Devaasura Sampath Vibhaga Yoga    Chapter of Gita (here after referred as BG) -  DVG calls this chapter as : "Daivaasura bheda viveka Yoga". Every religious scripture has clear distinction of what is good vs what is bad. Good qualities and bad qualities list are almost similar across these texts. Good qualities are synonymous to daiva sampathttu while bad qualities are to asura sampattu. A list like this is only to keep us on the check of right path to give clarity to us while in dilemma. While one might have 99 good qualities but that one bad quality in him might be a tragic flaw to collapse his entire nature and purpose. Hence a good understanding of this checklist will keep us alert on what is wrong and stay away from them. Even in chapter 7 there is a slight peek of this context where Krishna talks

This is the shortest chapter of BG but yet one of the most beautiful ones. In the 13th chapter, we have seen, that there is  a "Kshetra", a "Kshetragna" and then there is one superior soul who governs both. In 14th chapter - we have seen details on triguna. In this 15th chapter - we are going to see 3 different Purushas (Purushatreya).  BG: The Supreme Divine Personality said: "They speak of an eternal aśhvatth tree with its roots above and branches below. Its leaves are the Vedic hymns, and one who knows the secret of this tree is the know-er of the Vedas" ಊರ್ಧ್ವಮೂಲಮಧಃಶಾಖಮಶ್ವತ್ಥಂ ಪ್ರಾಹುರವ್ಯಯಂ ಛಂದಾಂಸಿ ಯಸ್ಯ ಪರ್ಣಾನಿ ಯಸ್ತಂ ವೇದ ಸ ವೇದವಿತ್ | 15-1 | This same context is seen in &quo

  Bhagavadgeeta - Adhyaya 14 Chapter #:  14 Chapter Name:  Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga (  ಗುಣತ್ರಯವಿಭಾಗಯೋಗಃ ) Total verses (slokas) in this chapter:  27 Adhyaya - 14, Gunatraya Vibhaga Yoga Chapter of Gita (here after referred as BG) -  DVG calls this chapter as : "Thrigunatantra Jagarooka Yoga". In the last chapter, we have seen, the entire universe is composed of basic 24 elements and the power (kshetragna) is also the one and only supreme who controls it. If so, then Arjuna wonders how there are so many different varieties of entities which differ again in their nature despite being formed by the very basic 24 elements. This chapter is Krishna's answer to that query of Arjuna. He gives pertinent details on the essential characteristics of each individually, their cause, the level of their potency, how they influence a living entity affected by them as well as the signs of one who has risen above them.

This focus on details of Jnaana. How will an Intellect work? Both mind and intellect, perceive their actions through details grasped by our 5 senses. The Bhagavad Gita consists of eighteen chapters, which are composed of three segments.  The first set of six chapters describes karm-yog.  The second set describes the glories of bhakti, and for the nourishment of bhakti, it also dwells upon the opulences of God.  The third set of six chapters expounds upon tattva jñāna (knowledge scriptural terms and principles).  The present one is the first of the third set of chapters, and it introduces two terms—kṣhetra (the “field”) and kṣhetrajña (the “know-er of the fi
