Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7 – Jnana Vijnana Yoga (Knowledge and Wisdom of the Absolute)

Introduction:

Chapter 7 of the Bhagavad Gita is called Jnana Vijnana Yoga, meaning the Yoga of Knowledge and Supreme Wisdom. Here, Lord Krishna (Kaal) reveals his true identity and limitations. He discusses material and spiritual knowledge, the influence of Trigun Maya (three gunas: Rajgun, Satgun, and Tamgun), and why worship of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva does not lead to liberation.

This chapter is crucial for seekers who wish to understand what type of worship leads to salvation and what keeps the soul trapped in the cycle of birth and death.

Chapter 7 Summary in Simple English:

The speaker (Kaal) claims to give both material and spiritual knowledge, but only a rare soul knows him in truth.
He says all living beings originate from his lower (material) and higher (soul-based) energies.
He explains that people worship various deities based on desires, but this worship is ultimately temporary and fruitless.
Those under the influence of Trigun Maya (Brahma = Rajgun, Vishnu = Satgun, Shiva = Tamgun) fail to reach the Supreme.
Even those who worship Kaal (the Gita speaker) receive inferior results.
The path to true liberation lies in going beyond the Trigun and worshipping the Supreme God.

Important Verses from Chapter 7:

7.12-15 – “Those whose intellect is deluded by Trigun Maya (qualities of Brahma, Vishnu & Shiva) do not worship Me (Kaal). They remain entangled in the illusion of these three gunas.”

This implies that worship of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva is not approved by Kaal Himself and does not lead to liberation.

7.18 – “All those noble devotees who worship Me (Kaal), even they attain only Anuttam gati – an inferior (worst) destination.”

The word ‘Anuttam’ means “of the worst quality.” This shocking revelation implies that worshipping the speaker of Gita (Kaal) does not result in salvation, only temporary relief.

7.20-23 – “Those whose desires have been stolen by Maya worship demigods. I (Kaal) make their faith firm, and they get the temporary results they desire, but such rewards are finite.”

This shows that worship of demigods (including Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva) is encouraged by Kaal for those under illusion, but it does not grant true freedom.

Key Teachings from Chapter 7:

The speaker of the Gita (Kaal) indirectly exposes that he is not the Supreme God.
Worship of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva is performed by those who are influenced by Trigun Maya and will not achieve liberation.
Even devotees of Kaal (the Gita speaker) do not attain salvation, only temporary and inferior outcomes.
To attain complete liberation, one must go beyond Kaal and Trigun and worship the Supreme God.

Tatvagyan Insight (Based on Teachings of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj):

Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has explained in depth that the speaker of the Gita is Kaal Brahm, not the Supreme God. Chapter 7 proves that Kaal misleads souls into worshipping Trigun-based deities or himself—both of which result in continued bondage.

The term ‘Anuttam’ in 7.18 is proof that even worship of the Gita speaker (Kaal) leads to the worst destination—not liberation. Thus, true salvation is not possible through traditional or mainstream worship of Brahma, Vishnu, or Shiva.

The Supreme God is Kavir Dev (Kabir Sahib), who is beyond Trigun Maya and Kaal. He alone can grant Saarnaam, the true mantra of salvation, through a Tatvadarshi Saint, as revealed in Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4 Verse 34.
