Gita 3.11

Devaan’, bhaavyat, anen, te, devaH, bhavyantu, vaH,
Parasparam’, bhaavyantH, shreyH, param’, avaapsyath ||11||

Important: - In Gita Chapter 15 Verse 1-4, there is description of the upside-down hanging world-like tree. Its root (base) is the Supreme God and trunk is ParBrahm i.e. Akshar Purush and a bigger branch is Kshar Purush (Brahm), and smaller branches are the three gunas, Rajgun-Brahma Ji, Satgun-Vishnu Ji, and Tamgun-Shiv Ji. The tree receives its nourishment from the base (roots) only.

For instance, if we will plant a mango seedling, then we will water the roots; from the roots, the nourishment will go to the trunk; from trunk to bigger branch; from the bigger branch to smaller branches, and then those smaller branches will bear fruits. Those branches will themselves give us fruits. Similarly, by worshipping i.e. watering the Supreme God i.e. Param Akshar Brahm-like roots, the sanskar (impressions of nurture) i.e. the nourishment will go to Akshar Purush i.e. ParBrahm-like trunk; then from Akshar Purush, the sanskar i.e. nourishment will go to Kshar Purush i.e. Brahm-like bigger branch. Then from Brahm, the sanskar i.e. the nourishment will go to the three gunas i.e. Rajgun-Brahma Ji, Satgun-Vishnu Ji and Tamgun-Shiv Ji-like three smaller branches. Then these three gods-like smaller branches will bear fruits i.e. then the three gods, Shri Brahma Ji, Shri Vishnu Ji, and Shri Shiv Ji give us the fruits of our actions based on our sanskar (impressions of deeds done in the previous birth). This evidence is also given in Gita Chapter 15 Verse 16 and 17 that there are two gods in this lok of Earth; one is Kshar Purush i.e. Brahm and the other is Akshar Purush i.e. ParBrahm. Both these gods and all the living beings in their loks are perishable, in reality, the immortal God (Parmeshwar-Parmatma), who enters the three loks and sustains everyone, is different from the above-mentioned two gods. Please see the picture of the upright sowed plant of bhakti.

 

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 3 Verse 11

Translation: (Anen) through this yagya (devaan’) gods i.e. branches (bhaavyat) prosper and (te) those (devaH) gods i.e. branches (vaH) you people (bhaavyantu) may prosper i.e. may provide the fruits based on sanskaar {impressions of deeds done in the previous birth}. Thus with selflessness (parasparam’) each other (bhavyantH) prospering (param’) supreme (shreyH) auspiciousness (avapsyath) will attain. (11)

Translation: Through this yagya, prosper the gods i.e. branches and those gods i.e. branches may prosper you people i.e. may provide you fruits based on sanskaar. Thus selflessly prospering each other, you will attain the supreme auspiciousness.
