The Srimad Bhagavad Gita – Her Special Charm-4.

1.

Thus ‘life’ is a problem only when we know not how to meet the life’s challenges rising around us.

When that ‘knowledge’ is revealed to us, we know the solution, and then the problem is no more to us threatening or despairing.

Prince Arjuna of the Bhagavad Geeta represents in himself the confused and the desperate youth the world over.

The Pandava Prince is painted in the Geeta as suffering from the universal disease of all young hearts the problem – phobia — to take things and happenings as problems where there are none and to feel terribly despaired of them.

2.

In the Bhagavad Geeta, the man making science of the Upanishads is brought out of the forests to serve us where we are suffering — in the market place, in the slum huts, in the drawing rooms, in the commune, and at the barricades!

The outstretched hands of Mother Geeta, ready and willing always to lift all intelligent young hearts from their dirt and filth, are today often ignored in our utter confusion of mind.

We are today totally ignorant of the security which the Geeta’s motherly embrace can provide and the divinity of her reviving touch.

These are times when religion must march out of the forests and temples, churches and mosques, Gurudwaras and Vihars into places where man is striving in his despair and turning sour in his incorrigible cynicism and impossible disillusionments.

3.

The Geeta is a ready made textbook which serves us where we are; whoever we may be, whatever may be our problem, irrespective of place and time, caste and creed, the Geeta serves us.

This is the special charm of the scriptural textbook-the Bhagavad Geeta.

THE END.
