Cognition motivates Action: Bhagavad - Gita

Dr. G. Sarvani

Abstract :

The researcher tries to identify difference in psychological aspects relating to “Action” based on modern psychology and that of “Action” based on Baghavad –Gita propounded by Shree Krishna. (A): Modern psychology states that there are three components in every action, i.e. (a) goal, (b) its execution and (c) its evaluation. (B): Baghavad –Gita on the other hand states that “Action” has one primary component called as (I) cognition The component “(I) Cognition” mentioned above, is a three fold process, which includes (a) knowledge, (b) the object of knowledge and (c) the knower. These three components guide to motivate and transform an “action”. This Motivated action further affect to three sub classifications namely, “ Instrument of action (also called as Senses)”, “ Action itself (also called as Work)”, Doer (also called as performer) In modern psychology there is no place attributed for a “doer” or actor, while in Baghavad –Gita a “doer” has a lot of significance in “Action”. A doer means an intellect, which explains difference between good or bad, but many times human mental impressions (samskaaras) dominates our actions. Therefore, there is a need to further examine and analyze components mentioned in modern psychology visa Vis Bagawad Gita.
