Probably the best write up on the secrets of huge number of Hindu Gods, since past 1000 years !
All these things, described above caused Lord Krishna to make Jnani altogether different from rest of the people of the world. Lord did exclude Jnani from total four devotees of God. There was no need for the Lord to explain Arjuna the verse 7-18 otherwise.

In this respect, two aphorisms from the ancient Sanskrit scriptures are notable.

1. ÿeeefvevees Ôo³eced cegÑwefJeÿee&leb ®esodpeiele YeJesle
2.ÿeelelelJem³e ueeskeÀess³eb pe¾esvcelle efHeMee®eJele I
ÿeelelelJeessefHe  ueeskeÀm³e pe¾esvcelle efHeMee®eJele II

The literal meanings are as under :

1. If the nescient (non-self realized) people will understand the feelings (heart) of the Jnani (self realized) person, this world shall become a reality.

2.The nescient (non-self realized) people in the world look at the Jnani as a fool, obstinate, aggressive and like an unholy spirit.  Jnani (the knower) also look at the people, similarly as the people look at him.

It is up to the readers to guess and understand the true meaning of the above two aphorism themselves, from the literal meaning given above.
It is impossible to understand the words of Jnanis by the nescient world.  The author gives an example of his Guru’s words. His Guru, Hon. Khapti Maharaj was illiterate and had spent many years in forest for Tapa (austerity). He had reached to the stage of saint at his age of 25 and he died at the age of 113. It means his experience as a saint was 88 years.  He would utter the following words almost daily when so many of his devotees and disciples would surround him to hear his words. 

“Afsos dur karo, hosh me thos maro, Nirdosh Bano aur Jeevan ka Course Pura Karo”  This alliterated prose sounds funny, but this is the Karma Yoga which Bal Gangadhar Tilak or many  great masters could not understand. The English translation is as under :

“Don’t be depressed, make a collusion knowingly, remain without blemish, complete the allotted course (years) of life to you”.  Does this make any sense to a common man?  The readers can guess for themselves. The author gives the meaning as under.  The meaning of Karma Yoga could not be explained to common people by thousand-page books, which is cleared by the Guru of the author in only five words. Watch the alliterated words.

1.Afsos - dejection
2.Hosh -  not in intoxicated condition
3.Thos - deliberate collusion
4.Nirdosh - without blemish
5.Course -  Definite activity in definite time.

Afsos-  This is the first chapter of Bhagwat Geeta.  Arjun was in “Afsos” i.e. in sad and depressed mood thinking about the results of the war. The first Chapter of Geeta is  “Vishad Yoga” or  “Dejection Yoga”.  Baba (Hon. Khapti Maharaj advises that one should not think too much about the future and get worried.  “One should give up tensions”, expects Baba.

Hosh- Baba meant “eternal khowledge” or Brahmajnan by this word.  The second chapter of Geeta is the “Sankhya Yoga” or “yoga of knowledge”. In fact who so ever understands the deeper meaning of second chapter of Geeta, understands that next chapters are only explanation of the second.  Hosh is the word often used in Hindi for alertness.  Baba advises that one becomes always alert in his life by understanding the knowledge of self-realization, and hence everybody must learn this for better and happy life.

Thos- This means Karma. Here Baba advises to perform your duties diligently and aggressively after acquiring the knowledge. This is like,  “go and collide with the duties” means do the great work.  The third chapter of Geeta is “Karma Yoga or Yoga for Action” There is no Karma Yoga without knowledge of God.  Some people in India think that the service to humanity without any expectation is a Karmayoga.  These persons get rewards from Government, great publicity, invitations from the foreign countries etc., and their admirers call them “KarmaYogee”.  This is wrong.  Unless and until a person does not get the thorough knowledge of second chapter of Geeta  and get the blessings of his enlightened Guru, one can’t be called KarmaYogee.  KarmaYoga is not philanthropy, nobleness, humanity, mercy to animals, service to needy, unprivileged people, disease affected people etc.  KarmaYoga is the “collusion  with Karmas” knowingly.
