Today, most of you have gone to schools, earned degrees, and are making a decent livelihood. However, there is Arjuna in you, sometimes not clear about what the right thing to do is when making choices in life. Today’s education or money are not comprehensive teachers. Education today elaborates only the physical aspects of the visible world, but there is no knowledge of the self. Lack of clarity in this not only makes one’s life aimless but also makes the world a chaotic place for everyone.
Bhagavad Githa is thus essential for everyone…
astha:na sne:ha k:arunya dharma:dharma dhiya:kulam
pa:rtham prapanna muddhisya sa:sthravatharanam krutham
Yamuncharya outpoured the essence of Bhagavad Githa in his magnificent work, Githardha Sangraha. He says having mercy at someone or something at inappropriate times can make one incapable of distinguishing between dharma and adharma. That’s when sa:sthra (Vedic scriptural wisdom) must support one’s knowledge and give the direction. Bhagavad Githa is revered as Upanishad, the essence of Vedic wisdom.
Each one of us may have a specific choice to make in life depending on our age, family, job, etc, but we all have one common choice to make today.
Will you be an active or a passive practitioner of Bhagavad Githa?
What is the right choice here? We must all be ACTIVE practitioners. Do not be quiet when you must speak up. Do not be passive. Don’t underestimate the power of Vedic wisdom that you are the heir to. Having the ability and the knowledge is not enough, it becomes your duty to:
…to speak of the knowledge from Bhagavad Githa and
to practise it without fear and with utmost pride!
Let’s all make the choice to be active practitioners of the greatest source and treasure of knowledge, Srimad Bhagavad Githa.
