Description

All the problems of life spring from Identity crisis. And they are further compounded with a strong personality Index. Perpetual success, appreciation, honour, recognition in one’s life is difficult to digest and assimilate and reaches to an unhealthy aspect of one’s personality namely, arrogance. This is depicted in the character of Arjuna in the first chapter of Geeta. War game was not new to Arjuna. However, he had never faced more challenging a war than the war with himself. We all try to prove something to someone and thereby justify all our actions. Not only that, Arjuna wanted an authentication for his wrong approach to the challenge of life from his beloved friend, Shri Krishna.

A good friend never blindly supports the wrong approach in a given situation. And hence Shri Krishna did not approve of Arjuna’s approach to withdraw from the ultimate challenge of his life under the disguise of seeming goodness. In fact, Arjuna himself confessed that he is fully confused and therefore, unable to discriminate between what is good for him and for all.

This riddle of life is brought out through the inspired presentation of Shri Krishna with the strength of the authority of scriptures, logic and his personal experiences of life. However, Shri Krishna did not take the final decision about fighting the war and gave full freedom to Arjuna to decide what is good for him and all in the light of wisdom presented to him. Therefore, Bhagawad Geeta is the ultimate answer to all the confused persons of the world.
