'Gita'-Profoundest Of All-So Simple And Easy

Hare Krishna, Namaskarams

Sri Balagopal Ramakrishnan Writes in Advaitin list: With 'his 'Gita' one doesn't have to look elsewhere, seek elsewhere, go elsewhere, wreck and rap one's brain, look bewildered and confused, spend eons chanting names and indulge in rituals, run from pillar to post to places and tanks, howl or cry, jump into fire or wrap in ice, stay awake for eternity, do tricks, by heart or do penance till one becomes a 'vAlmIki'... all that one got to do is just pick up the book and begin the conversation with 'him', his words are so simple and lucid, no complications ever, without any formal training in grammar and logic and no special pedigree to brag about and not even had a chance to get any blessing from a Guru or a saint, one could enter with 'him' into that most profoundest of all that one has to know, to know 'oneself'. 'He' does it with all kindness, patience and grace.

Absolutely i agree with this. i am blessed to come under the teaching of Swami Paramarthananda's upanishads and Gita. Gita is the essence of all scriptures and Krishna is the direct Guru available when you place yourself in place of Arjuna and seek the truth. if the knowledge of the supreme gives you freedom from samsara that knowledge is available in Gita from Krishna himself, being the guru of all gurus.

  May lord Krishna bless us all.
