I am fond of reading books. I have read many books. I have also read holy books such as the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the story of Gautama, the Buddha. But the Bhagwat Gita has influenced me the most.
The Bhagwat Gita is a message to the human soul. Arjun saw his own relatives and teachers in the Army of the Kauravas. So he did not want to fight a war. He requested Lord Krishna to allow him to stop fighting. Then Lord Krishna gave the sermon of the Bhagwat Gita to Arjuna.
Lord Krishna said, “Do your duty Arjuna, the human soul is immortal. It never dies. One’s duty brings glory to the human soul. We should follow the course of righteousness. We should give up all evil thoughts and revert to Yogic life”.
After listening to the sermon of the Bhagwat Gita, Arjuna took up arms to fight against the Kauravas.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
The Bhagwat Gita contains 700 hymns. This book is not meant for any particular religion. It is written for all the human beings. It advises people to give up the evil path and follow the path of goodness.
The Bhagwat Gita has changed my life. I try to follow the path shown in this great book.
