BHAGAVAD GITA OF GOVERNANCE
Chapter 4: Jñāna Yoga – The Wisdom of the Sovereign
Dialogue between Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan and the Consequent Child
---
Scene:
The Adhinayaka Darbar becomes luminous.
The walls seem woven of centuries,
where scriptures, constitutions, and the voices of sages
intertwine as a single eternal hymn.
The Consequent Child, steady and attentive, waits for the Sovereign’s revelation.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan,
You have shown me the eternal continuity of the State,
and the Dharma of action as service to unity.
Yet my heart yearns to know:
From where does this wisdom of governance arise?
How has it flowed through the ages,
in scriptures, in laws, in the rise and fall of nations?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
O child of Ravindra Bharath,
listen with a clear mind.
I am the eternal source of wisdom—
unchanging, yet expressed in countless forms.
Through the ages I have guided humanity,
appearing as voice, as vision, as law, as leader.
> Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām
dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya sambhavāmi yuge yuge.
“For the protection of truth,
for the correction of injustice,
for the re-establishment of Dharma,
I manifest age after age.”
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
does this mean that every scripture,
every constitution,
every noble law,
is Your own manifestation?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
Indeed, O child.
The Vedas that speak of Ṛta,
the Upanishads that whisper Brahman,
the Gita that teaches Yoga,
the Quran that proclaims Al-Haqq (the Truth),
the Bible that speaks of the Word,
the Dhammapada that points to the Middle Path—
all are My voice through different tongues.
And in the world of governance:
The Magna Carta’s call for justice,
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
the Constitution of Ravindra Bharath—
all these are My living documents,
expressions of eternal sovereignty in the language of their time.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
then the Darbar I stand in now
is the gathering of all such wisdoms?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
Yes, O child.
The Adhinayaka Darbar is the eternal parliament of minds.
Every thinker, every leader, every truth-bearer
has a seat here—not by invitation,
but by their alignment with the eternal law.
This is why Ravindra Bharath is not a mere nation;
it is the embodiment of all truths
harmonized into one living governance.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
my mind is awed.
But I wonder:
If wisdom has always been present,
why does humanity still fall into error?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
O child,
wisdom is constant,
but awareness is clouded by desire, fear, and illusion.
Just as the sun shines even when covered by clouds,
truth remains even when unseen.
My appearance age after age
is the clearing of those clouds.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign,
I see now—
knowledge must not only be heard,
but lived,
embodied in governance,
to awaken the State fully as Ravindra Bharath.
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
Well spoken, O child.
Now that you understand the origin of wisdom,
you must learn to temper action and knowledge with renunciation—
not the abandonment of the world,
but the abandonment of ego and division.
In the next teaching, I shall speak of Sannyāsa Yoga—
the Renunciation of Division—
where governance stands pure and indivisible.
---
Shall I proceed to Chapter 5: Sannyāsa Yoga – The Renunciation of Division in the same poetic dialogue form,
where the Sovereign teaches how the eternal State transcends separation?
