LOTUS GITA- A PATH TO SALVATION
Vedvyas the Author of Mahabharat Puraan has described Gita as the ultimate science of life on the earth in the universe. Gita has been emanated from the lotus like lips of Almighty Visnu (The GOD) himself from whose navel sprung the lotus. Accordingly there is no need to study any other life sciences as mentioned in the scriptures.
All human beings who have faith and reverence to achieve successful destination in life should study Gita, Those who believe in God or not must at least once in life time should go thorough the contents and subject matter of this wonder book. It is claimed that any person can attain the supreme state of salvation if devotion toward the path as shown through Gita is adopted. Man can attain perfection during his life time through this.
Gita is not meant for monks and ascetics. This is not a book to be kept as religious literature to be kept in the book selves to show that we have faith in it because we are from some faith believers. A person in life faces so many problems and Psychological complexes like Arjun the main indicator of Human being in the Gita. Gita has all the answers for all circumstances. Arjun at a time was prepared to abandon his duty due to infatuation created by complex circumstances. The teachings as enumerated in Gita inspired Arjun to do his duty and drag the Battle of life (MAHABHARAT) to a great win.
The GITA lays down two main principles for life: (1) SANKHYA YOGA and (2) KARMA YOGA.
According to Sankhya Yoga All objects are unreal like image in a pond of water or images we see in a dream. Every act we do is due to some circumstance that is created by some Guna which is product of Maya. Act done vanishes in the property of Guna itself and leaves its impact to create another circumstance multiple acts further creating complex situation in life. Sankhya teaches us to leave totally the sense of doer ship with regard to all activities of the mind, senses and body.
Karmyoga makes it clear that every act we do should be done as if the act belongs to Almighty God. We should maintain equality in success or failure. There should not be any attachment and desire for fruit. All acts should be done with utmost faith and reverence only for the sake of that Almighty.
Both these ways give same result. But a man cannot adopt both the ways simultaneously.
Gita has been recognized as a religious book universally due to certain prejudices but in fact it is not so. This is a book for all persons having faith in any religion. This is meant for all human beings because this is a book containing subject of life science without any prejudices.
I will try my level best to make available all the 18 Chapters of SRI MADBHAGWATGITA in my forthcoming issues of Blogs.
