Verse 11-30; Krishna gives knowledge about the spirit soul and the soul is eternal and can never be destroyed and the body has to go away one day.
Verse 10: He has come to a point where he doesn't know what to do. Sanjay is reported to Dhirtarastra that Krsna is smiling. The two rasas are meeting here from sakhya rasa it goes to dasya - to understand the teachings from Krsna. He agrees to be his Guru because the devotee wants to be in that relationship (free will) and also Krsna wants to experience this pleasure potency. We can understand that Krsna is a friend, a guru or anything else he is always the superior.
From Verses 11-30; Spiritual soul is eternal and can never be destroyed and the body is temporary and has to be destroyed at some point. If we understand this then we won't be bewildered. If we are ourselves sick with some disease we become bewildered, we should actually think that we are eternal and we should keep performing our daily duties and then we realize our eternal being. Inspite of all kinds of impediments we keep on performing our devotional service everyday.
V11:Here Krsna is chastizing him. He says you have been trained regarding all this and the wise never lament for living or dead.
V12 - Remember this verse asked during exams: All of us are eternal. We never ceased to be. All living entities are eternal and therefore we shouldn't lament for the death of any person. 4 defects - lie, tendency to cheat, illusion, say wrong things - the common man has these defects and Krsna doesn't have these defects and hence he isn't common man. Lot of acaryas refer to the Gita - why, because Krsna is the supreme personality and that is the spirit of the BG we should read the Gita in that spirit. We shouldn't read Mayavadi philosophy (Sankaracharya's Sariraka Bhasya - He was empowered to write this for people who didn't have any belief in vedas) as we will lose all power to understand the Gita.
V13: Remember this verse and these verses are asked during the example - Dehina is the soul is embodied. The body dies and you give up the body and the soul needs to go to another body.
V14: Memorize this verse also. We need to go through these dualities. Arjuna wanted to give us these religious duties and wanted to go to the forest. Krsna is saying he shouldn't abandon his duties just because of some changes like summer, winter etc. Material world is non permanent and despite all impediments and changes yet we should keep doing our religious duties - These are cycles in the material life - Summer, winter, fall, spring, happiness, distress - We shouldn't be attached to these things. Our senses want to enjoy these things ; Sensory perceptions. Hence, one must learn to tolerate. We should just try to tolerate. Prescribed duties are very important for us in our spiritual journey. We need to do our prescribed duties very nicely because they help us regulate our material desires as they help us come to the platform of Jyana and from this platform we can quickly come to the platform of Bhakti. Hence, we need to perform our duties very nicely. Tolerate all these things we can come to the highest goal. Everyday we should wake up early in the morning and take our shower. We need to abide by these religious principles. We are not bothered by these external factors anymore and we understand it's for our good and we keep doing it everyday/every time. Keep doing our duties - material and spiritual everyday in the same way even if you have all kinds of impediments - the intention is the most important. Only if someone is talking wrong about Krishna or Guru then you don't tolerate but for everything else tolerate everything - just tolerate and be humble like a tree or the straw in the street. Only then we will get real pleasure.
V15: Highest goal of liberation and how can you achieve it. If our focus is on the right thing, then we can easily achieve the highest goal of life - Krsna prema. If we want to be eligible for liberation from material bondage we need to be steady in one's prescribed duties. Anyone who is steady in his determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization and can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation. Even in our lives, we notice that many people try to create impediments in our KC life and we just need to tolerate and despite all impediments keep going ahead with our service to Krishna and perform our dev activities and follow our daily schedule.
V16: What others also think about this and how they also think the same way. Here he is giving reference of what is revealed in the scriptures and he is trying to convince Arjuna using this about what others feel about this. This is also our instruction. We shouldn't make up stories but just stick to shastra and the seers of truth. To drive away our ignorance that we are the masters Krsna speaks the BG. This is spoken not for once but for all time, so we can understand and apply our life on this aspect and go back home back to Godhead in this life.
V17: Very imp verse. Aspect of the soul and this is what means conciousness. The soul pervades the entire body and it's not destructible. This is the spreading of conciousness all over the body.The symptom of the soul is this. We can experience the pain and pleasure of just our body but not of another body but the Lord can. This is conciousness - each and every body is the embodiment of an individual soul, and the symptom of the soul’s presence is perceived as individual consciousness.
Also, size of soul is given here and we need to know this 1/10,000 of the tip of the hair (smaller than the material atom) Without this spark, our material body is useless. “The soul is atomic in size and can be perceived by perfect intelligence. This atomic soul is floating in the five kinds of air (prāṇa, apāna, vyāna, samāna and udāna), is situated within the heart, and spreads its influence all over the body of the embodied living entities. When the soul is purified from the contamination of the five kinds of material air, its spiritual influence is exhibited.” Only by the KC process can we purify the soul of it's contaminated coverings. Doing devotional service is the original activity of the spirit soul. Hence, us engaging in dev. service is us engaging in our original service to Krsna and Radharani.
