Here’s a bullet-point summary of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 11 (BG 7.11):


🔹 Bhagavad Gita 7.11 — Verse

“Balam balavatām asmi kāmarāga-vivarjitam; dharmāviruddho bhūteṣu kāmo ’smi bharatarṣabha.”

Translation:
“I am the strength of the strong, devoid of desire and attachment. I am that desire which is not opposed to dharma, O Arjuna.”


🔸 Summary — Bullet Points

  • Krishna identifies Himself with:

    • Strength that is free from desire (kāma) and attachment (rāga).

    • Desire that is in harmony with dharma (righteousness).

  • Strength (Bala):

    • True strength is divine when it’s not driven by ego or selfish motives.

    • Krishna is the pure power behind all righteous strength.

  • Desire (Kāma):

    • Desire is not inherently wrong; only adharmic (unrighteous) desire binds the soul.

    • Desires aligned with moral, spiritual, and ethical values are considered divine.

  • Message:

    • Spiritualize your desires by aligning them with dharma.

    • Act with inner strength and purpose, but without ego or attachment.

    • Recognize the divine presence in noble qualities within us.
