Last 13 of 26 Divine Virtues of Chapter 16 of Bhagavad Gita: Message and Couplets

 



The Message


Chapter 16 of the Bhagavad Gita, called Daivasura Sampad Vibhaga Yoga, talks about the differences between good and bad qualities to help people behave better. It lists twenty-six good traits, such as being fearless, having a pure mind, being charitable, and practicing non-violence. These qualities can lead to spiritual freedom and inner calm. On the other hand, he points out bad traits like arrogance, pride, anger, hypocrisy, and endless desire. People with these demonic traits are often driven by greed and a big ego, thinking that the universe has no moral rules or divine control. This very materialistic way of thinking keeps them stuck in a cycle of bad actions and painful rebirths.

The main message strongly warns that lust, anger, and greed are the three doors to hell that can completely ruin a person's soul. Krishna encourages everyone to let go of these harmful habits to reach their highest goals. In the end, the chapter highlights that a person's future is fully based on their choices. By following the wisdom in scriptures and developing good qualities, one can rise above their lower instincts and find self-realization. It’s a strong call for personal change, living ethically, and awakening spiritually

Divine Virtues 14-26: Couplets

14. Calm your thoughts, let worries cease,
Find inner quiet, inner peace.
15. Don't look for faults in others' way,
Nor harbor malice, day by day.
16. Be kind to all, big and small,
Answer compassion's gentle call.
17. Desire less, your spirit will take flight.
Covetousness darkens, peace makes life bright
18. Speak with care, a pleasant sound,
Where grace and courtesy are found.
19, When you have erred, and done amiss,
Feel shame and wish you'd not done this.
20. Stay firm on course, with steady sight,
Away from doubt, and fading light.
21. With selfless acts, a guiding star,
Your spiritual glow will travel far.
22. When wronged, we choose to let it go,
This kindness helps our courage grow.
23.When hard times come and make us frown,
Our inner strength will hold us down.
24.Pure thoughts within, a spirit bright,
A tidy space, a world of right.
25. No anger hold, no hatred keep,
Be kind to all, their trust to reap.
26.No gilded throne, no noble name,
Content to live without the fame.
