Lessons I Learnt From The Gita

Bhagavad Gita is meant for those who wish to transcend all confusion. When you are confused in your search for truth, then the removal of that kind of confusion will bring enlightenment to one and all.

Bhagavad Gita has been endearing to all those who seek Truth, who look for perfection, who are interested in a complete science of everything, irrespective of caste, creed, religion, and nationality. This holy book presents the science of life, as it is, which was originally spoken to Arjun by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the battlefie of Mahabharata approximately 5000 years ago.

What The Bhagavad Gita Taught Me?

It taught me to think of the main and deeper questions rather than the questions, we are condition to ask.

Such as, "Who am I?", "What is my relation with Supreme?" rather than "What is the new web series?" or "What will I do after 5 years?"

It taught me the importance of human life. It taught me how this human life is rare and God has already made every arrangement for survival.

For example, when a child is born, instantly the mother’s milk is available but we have created artificial necessities in life and we waste our lives chasing these artificial necessities.

I got to know that there is so much identity crisis in the world that people don’t know the purpose of life. Rather than finding it they are just busy enjoying the 4 things - eating, mating, sleeping and defending - which an animal also enjoys but we so-called HUMAN's enjoy in a sophisticated manner.

Our real identity is that we are spirit souls and we are by nature always happy (Sat chit ananda) – that’s why we chase happiness everywhere but we are always trying to find happiness in matters which are dead or in temporary things like family, country, etc., but our attempts are not successful because we never get continuous happiness, whereas, our nature is eternal and we want everlasting happiness.

We are in a prison house and this world is so uncertain that anything could happen at any moment with us, so we have to prepare from now itself – How to detach my mind from temporary things and attach it to Krishna to pursue our real goal to get back our eternal svarupa in the spiritual world?

If I can practice how to love God, then only I can love everyone selflessly and selfless love is the real happiness – you can see practically how a mother although eats nothing but is happy to feed her child. If you can similarly love God then that is the perfection of life

We have to start situating ourself in neutral platform and seeing things without being biased as Hindu or Muslim , rich or poor, boy or girl, etc., because these are all ephemeral designations of the body.

How Bhagavad Gita helped me?

I waste less time now- (no movies, no web series), I have at least realized this that this human body is not for just enjoying but to find out about me and my relationship with God and the real happiness is that which comes directly from the soul, not from external objects.

I try to see everything in Relation to Supreme, rather than my enjoyment or temporary designations so my relationships with other people have improved and I have been trying to respect every living being.

As a changed human, I will ask all those in search of true happiness to read the Bhagavad Gita as it will change your life too!
