The <em>Gita <\/em>is one of the most famous pieces of Hindu literature, and the lessons it teaches are central to that faith. As a cultural touchstone and a spiritual guide, scholars consider it one of the most important ancient texts in the world. The translation and commentary by Eknath Easwaran help even those who aren\u2019t learned in Hindu mythology to understand its teachings.&nbsp;The book can help you work toward understanding <em>The Bhagavad Gita<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Bhagavad Gita <\/em>takes place just before a great battle between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, two factions from the same dynasty who are fighting over the throne of the kingdom of Hastinapura. They have met at the field of Kurukshetra for the great battle to decide the inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Arjuna, who leads the Pandavas, is conflicted because he doesn\u2019t want to fight against his own family.<\/strong> He turns to his childhood friend and charioteer <strong>Krishna, who is actually an incarnation of the god Vishnu,<\/strong> for advice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Krishna\u2019s advice comprises the vast majority of the <em>Gita<\/em>\u2014\u201c<em>Bhagavad Gita<\/em>\u201d means \u201csong of God.\u201d He begins by discussing dharma, what we might call destiny, and tells Arjuna that it\u2019s his dharma to fight. Krishna then moves into discussions of the difference between reality and illusion\u2014anything that\u2019s of the physical, temporary world isn\u2019t real. The only reality is divinity, which Arjuna\u2019s weapons can\u2019t harm, so he should have no qualms about fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, Krishna moves into a discussion of his own nature as God; how all things came from him and he exists in everything. He discusses how the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/path-to-enlightenment\/\">path to enlightenment<\/a> involves recognizing that truth and seeing that all things are connected through God. This leads to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/selfless-action\/\">selfless action<\/a> in the literal sense\u2014acting without thought or care for oneself, focused only on God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ultimate goal of these lessons is to help Arjuna break free from samsara, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/sadhguru-reincarnation\/\">cycle of reincarnation<\/a>. However, in the short term, they serve to soothe Arjuna\u2019s doubts and ready him for the battle to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding <em>The Bhagavad Gita<\/em> and the story can help you make sense of the lessons in the text.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the story of The Bhagavad Gita?
