Dear Bhagavathas,
Today i consulted one of my friends, who is quite familiar with the
authoritative works of Sri Aurobindo, esp. His famous "Essays on Gita".
Sri Aurobindo interprets the "sarvadharmAn.." part as flowing causally
from "karmaNyeva..". The mind shd have been purified by means of bhakthi,
jnana, etc. before it can come to the stage where it can afford to cast of
all other dharmAs and take shelter in *only* the Supreme.
This is a bit puzzling since it implies that Prapatti is a follow-up to
Bhakthi, etc. rather than an alternative. Cd someone familiar with the
works of Sri Aurobindo or the issue on the subjectline as such share yr
thoughts?
Hari Om,
srikanth
