People say that open any page of Bhagavad Gita we get answers for all our questions.
Bhagavad Gita is not only the Holy book of Hindus, but also a supreme guide for life. Bhagavad Gita gives you the way to live and setting for the Bhagavad Gita is the battlefield of Kurukshetra the Mahabharata where Arjun is confused and Krishna becomes his mentor and gives him guidance in a way that he can now start doing what is meant to do right.
Every young man or a woman is going to have confusions. Every young persons is going to have that dilema at to do or not to do or be or not to be. Thats how exactly the gita begins. It begins with dilema and lack of meaning. Then Krishna guides Arjuna through and empowers him to make his own choices. Krishna acts as facilitator and empowers Arjuna to understand that he is way too powerful than the people he is going to face in the battle. Every young man and woman needs to understand that they are way more poweful than what they are going through at the moment. Their confusions are smaller than them. Their challenges are smaller than them and they have the capacity to overcome them. Thats precisely where the books like Gita helps us to build that confidence and strength.
In the second chapter of Gita which talks about the summer and the winter season. This chapter says that the summer and the winter season keeps coming and going. just because the season change we never stop performing our duties. Lets say for eg: In Chicago the temperature is minus 27 degree celsius and people dont stop their work. Lets say in Dhakshina kannada where the temperature is 35 degree celsius and people are going on and do few adjustments here and there. So this text of gita chapter 2 tells us to tolerate ups and downs and not distracted from our main purpose. We should learn to tolerate our failures and pains. we should learn to tolerate our good times. By meditation and good book we can control our mind so that our mind can become our friend.
The third thing that I learnt from Gita is how do I start looking at the presence of divinity on every aspect. We don't have necesserily to go to place of worship. You can look at the presence of divinity in nature, you can look at the presence of divinity in people. You can start looking at the splendor of the creator or creation. When you look at somebody who is better than you, especially when they are in same field usually there is insecurity or envy, jealousy. So when you start looking at the divinity in creation, you start looking at how divinity is empowered to do something in a special way that person is gifted by higher powers and to sabotage that is actually insulting of somebody of given that gift. But if I look at that person and derive inspiration from that person i can seek that inspiration to follow my aspiration. That aspect of the Gita actually resonate with start looking at the divinity everywhere and in every place around you including people who are doing better than you.
Very often people who do remarkable things they usually say they are doing it and ofcourse they are doing it but you can say that there is something beyond them that is making them to do it whether it is singing, dancing, speaking. There is some element that is in extra factor and you should start appreciating that x-factor in your life.
