We are fortunate in having the scriptures that are attributed to great sages and Saints! In fact there is no other scripture like The Bhagavad-Gita that is attributed to Sakshat Paramatman! ordinarily, One may be inclined to ask Who this Paramatman is and how does He speak or write a thing like this? All these are clearly explained in the very scriptures that are attributed to divine souls like Sri Krishna Dvaipayana who came to be known as Sage Veda Vyasa. Also, one may wonder how the deity Lord Vighneshvara sits with Sage Veda Vyasa to take down what is dictated! Even the Western scholars have been wondering about all these and have slowly realized and accepted these scripture are of divine origin. Hence, it is our earnest desire that we must understand and realize the secret behind all these spiritual scripture, adhyatma grantha, that bring immense joy, peace, plenty and happiness! It is more urgent now that our younger generation should try to spare some time for at least an hour from their busy schedule for this purpose.
the firs and foremost thing about the Bhagavad-Gita is that it cane be understood at different intellectual levels! It can be used for daily prayer (parayana). It can be used as techniques of management in our daily life. Some Western scholars use it a too for business management, personnel and administration skill development! Apart from this, every verse is important for a spiritual seeker! Bhagavan Shree Krishna has instructed well as to how one can use this scripture for a joyful life! There are countless commentaries on the Gita, each commentator giving his/her opinion according to the level of understanding and ability, but none with experience and realization of the Lord's words!
Adhibhoutika, adhi daivika and adhyatmika versions of the Gita are the most important approaches to the study of the Gita. This is like the Text book for the beginners at Pre-degree level and reference work for the Post-Graduate and Research scholars. There is need for upgrading one's skill and ability to understand the secrets involved and interpret them! However, there is no need to explain these to others. it is just enough if we can make use of it for our life!
The most important perspective of a spiritual seeker is to attain to 'brahmn' ! This is not for all!
The second important perspective is to develop selfless service (nishkama karma) of the Gita!
The third perspective is develop total surrender in devotion, bhakti bhava, and live a tension-free life.
Develop nirasakti yoga and keep the mind free, develop full potential is another perspective.
Jnyan is the more difficult aspect of the Gita and very few are blessed in this regard! It's the ultimate! nahin jnyanena sadrusham.
sanyasa yoga is the ultimate! This level is attained only after jnyan, viveka and vairagya when the adept will practice yajnya (sacrifice), dana, and tapas!
\Thus, the Bhagavad-Gita is a treasure house that offers whatever one wants! You ask, He gives! Ultimately, Trust in Himand Go ahead! samshayatma vinashyati.
