The Bhagavad Gita श्रीमद् भगवद् गीता
Verse 1.21 b
Bhagavad Gita Verse 1.21 b
अर्जुन उवाच
सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये रधं स्थापय मेSच्युत ।
Wow what Miracle.
You have spoken.
What a Wonder.
Words have come out of your mouth.
अर्जुन उवाच
Arjuna spoke
the word Arjun begins with the letter अ ।
It by default means - the entire alphabet.
Notice that Sanskrit alphabet is अ आ इ etc.
English alphabet is A B C etc.
similar is the case with most languages of India and most languages of the world.
In sanskrit grammar (Vyakarana)
it is common practise to say अ etc = आदि । This basically means अ and all the rest. ie it covers the complete gamut of names.
So here it is very significant to understand that Arjun here refers to you or me or he or she.
ie it can be Gautama spoke, or Ravi spoke, or Disha spoke or Kavita spoke or the Tiger spoke or the City spoke or the Mango spoke....
Simply replace Arjun with your name or someone's name.
Arjuna means WHITE, CLEAR.
It also suggests - made of silver. also peacock. also only son.
So as we saw in previous Bhagavad Gita verses 1.20 and 1.21a, when the senses have been detached, and thus when the mind has become Clear and the heart has become White = Pure, one meets oneself. One talks to Oneself.
And what does one say?
सेनयोर् उभयो मध्ये
Place me in between Left & Right.
Between the Opposites. Opposing forces or tendencies.
Make me Balanced.
Let me be in the Center.
the classic yearning of a pure heart.
the direct demand of Spontaneity.
the first wish of Innocence.
रथम् स्थापय मे अच्युत
O Lord, station my Vehicle.
O Lord, anchor my MindBody.
अच्युत
The Lord
Here it means one who is Steadfast. Solid. Unshakeable.
So when a heart becomes pure, when the mind becomes clear, then
It calls Steadfastness
and
Prays to grant it Centeredness.
