De què tracta
El comentari de Shankara a la Bhagavad Gita: el text que va convertir el poema en una obra filosofica i que fixa la lectura advaita del vedanta.
Context i història
Shankara va viure probablement al segle VIII. El seu comentari (bhashya) llegeix la Gita des d'una tesi unica: nomes hi ha una realitat, brahman, i l'atman de cadascu no n'es una part sino allo mateix; el que ens separa no es una distancia sino una ignorancia. D'aqui la seva insistencia que el coneixement, i no l'accio ritual, es el que allibera, cosa que l'obliga a interpretar amb cura els passatges de la Gita que exalten l'accio. Es el primer comentari conservat i el que ha fixat la manera de llegir el text durant mil dos-cents anys; Ramanuja i Madhva escriuran els seus precisament per discutir-lo, i les tres lectures juntes son el nucli de la filosofia india posterior.

NEtr&yarca is, In the popular conception, the Creator who was brooding over the waters just before the "beginning of Creation. Cf. Manu I. 10. According to a subtler conception, N&r&yawa is the Antaryamin, the Divine Being in whom all embodied souls have their being. He is not a creature of the Avyakta, but far transcends it. It is the Avyakta,— the Avyaknta, Maya» the undifferentiated matter, — out of which, when in apparent union with Isvara, is evolved the principle of Hira/jyagarbba, here spoken of as Attda or the Mundane Egg, which is composed of the five simple rudimentai elements of matter. An intermingling of the five rudimentai elements of matter gives rise to the principle of the Viraj, of which are formed the Earth and all the 2 THE BHAGAVAD-GITA
