Swami on the Bhagawad Gita..

[saimsg]

 

Swami says on the sacred Bhagawad Gita :


“The Gita is as a boat, which takes man across from the self-imposed state of 
bondage to the freedom which is his nature. He is taken from darkness to light, 
from lustrelessness to splendour,” Swami said and explained, “The way it begins 
and the way it ends, that gives the clue to the subject which it expounds. The 
very first verse (of Gita) starts with the words, Dharmakshethre, 
Kurukshethre..., the word Dharma being the leading word. The last verse of the 
final eighteenth chapter speaks of Yatha Yogeswarah Krishna and this word, 
‘Yogeswarah’ sums up the Dharma that is taught. Thus, it is clear that the 
objective of the teaching in the Geetha is just this: ‘Remember Dharma; 
practise Dharma
