How to Apply the Teachings of the Bhagavad Gita in Daily Life?

The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most revered spiritual texts in Hinduism, often considered a guide to righteous living. However, its true meaning has been misunderstood due to misinterpretations. Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj provides the correct understanding of the Gita’s teachings, which, when applied in daily life, can lead to a peaceful, righteous, and spiritually fulfilling existence.

1. Recognising the True Purpose of Life

The Bhagavad Gita 18:66 states:

"Abandon all types of dharmic practices and surrender unto Him. I will liberate you from all sins; do not grieve."

Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that this verse reveals the true purpose of life—to worship the Supreme God and attain liberation (Moksha).

✅ Applying in daily life:

• Shift focus from temporary worldly desires to the ultimate goal of meeting the Supreme God (Kabir Sahib).
• Avoid materialistic distractions that keep the soul trapped in the cycle of birth and death.
• Seek true spiritual knowledge from a Tatvadarshi Guru (Enlightened Saint).

2. Practising the True Path of Devotion (Bhakti)

Many believe that following rituals, idol worship, or fasting is a way to please God. However, Bhagavad Gita 16:23 says:

"Those who perform arbitrary practices not prescribed in the scriptures attain neither success, nor happiness, nor liberation."

✅ Applying in daily life:

• Abandon false religious practices such as idol worship, meaningless rituals, and superstitions.
• Take Naam Diksha (Initiation) from a Tatvadarshi Guru, who imparts the correct mantra-based worship.
• Regularly chant the Satnaam and Saarnaam mantras given by the true Guru.

3. Overcoming Fear, Anxiety, and Attachment

In Bhagavad Gita 2:23-24, it is mentioned that the soul is eternal and cannot be destroyed by any means. However, people live in constant fear of death, loss, and suffering due to ignorance about their true identity.

✅ Applying in daily life:

• Understand that the soul is separate from the body and belongs to Supreme God.
• Avoid overattachment to material possessions and relationships, as everything in Kaal Brahm’s realm is temporary.
• Chant the true mantras given by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, which provide inner peace and divine protection.

4. Following a Disciplined, Righteous Lifestyle

The Bhagavad Gita promotes Satvik (pure) conduct, but people misinterpret this as simply following a vegetarian diet. True Satvik living means leading an ethically disciplined and spiritually aware life.

✅ Applying in daily life:

• Consume vegetarian food, as meat consumption is sinful and against spiritual progress.
• Refrain from alcohol, tobacco, and other intoxicants that impair judgment.
• Practice honesty, non-violence, and compassion in all aspects of life.

5. Avoiding False Gurus and Seeking a True Guru

The Bhagavad Gita warns against misleading spiritual guides in Bhagavad Gita 4:34, where Shri Krishna instructs Arjuna to approach a Tatvadarshi Guru for correct knowledge.

✅ Applying in daily life:

• Do not follow self-proclaimed gurus who promote idol worship, miracles, or rituals.
• Verify spiritual teachings with the scriptures, as Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj does.
• Follow the teachings of a Tatvadarshi Guru, who provides scripture-based worship.

6. Performing Duties Without Desire for Rewards

One of the most quoted verses, Bhagavad Gita 2:47, says:

"You have the right to perform your duties, but never to the fruits of your actions."

Many misinterpret this as a command to blindly work without questioning. However, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that:

• It means one should not be attached to worldly achievements but focus on worshipping Supreme God.
• It does not mean engaging in violence (as misinterpreted in the context of war).

✅ Applying in daily life:

• Perform duties responsibly but remain detached from outcomes.
• Prioritise devotion to God over material success.
• Do not engage in unethical practices for personal gain.

7. Renouncing Worldly Desires and Attachments

People seek happiness through wealth, relationships, and achievements, but Bhagavad Gita 5:22 states:

"The pleasures that arise from contact with the senses are sources of misery, as they have a beginning and an end."

✅ Applying in daily life:

• Recognise that true happiness is in devotion to Supreme God.
• Avoid greed, envy, and excessive material attachments.
• Live simply and dedicate life to spiritual progress.

8. Attaining Liberation (Moksha) Through True Devotion

The ultimate goal of applying the Gita’s teachings is liberation from Kaal Brahm’s cycle of birth and death. The Bhagavad Gita 15:4 reveals that only by finding the Supreme God can one escape from this material world.

✅ Applying in daily life:

• Take Naam Diksha from Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj to follow the true path of salvation.
• Chant the mantras (Satnaam & Saarnaam) daily.
• Reject arbitrary religious practices and follow the scripture-based path.

Conclusion: Living the Bhagavad Gita’s Teachings Correctly

The Bhagavad Gita is not about war, caste duties, or temporary morality—it is a divine guide that directs the soul towards the true worship of Supreme God Kabir. Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has revealed its correct interpretation, which removes spiritual ignorance and leads to eternal peace.

✅ By applying these teachings in daily life—through devotion, righteous conduct, and seeking the true Guru—one can break free from suffering and attain liberation (Moksha).
