The Bhagavad Gita is the ultimate
book of knowledge and is duly recognized as such throughout the world. Its
wisdom transcends the limits of time and space. I publish daily one message
from the book which can be related to our daily life titled: Thought4TheDay
These are widely read and highly appreciated
by my connections on LinkedIn, friends on Facebook and followers on twitter totally
about 27000 people. As recommended by some friends, I am posting the same here.
You may ask questions and/or post your comments which be appreciated. Hope you
will find the initiative very rewarding.
Thought4TheDay (10.09.2017)
In the first chapter of The Bhagavad
Gita, Arjun overwhelmingly tells Lord Krishna that he doesn't want to fight
with his own relatives. He philosophises his decision putting forth imagined
arguments like it is not good for their larger family and not in the interest
of humanity.
In the second chapter Lord Krishna
describes qualities of and differences between 'Karmayoga' and 'Sankhyayoga'
and also the characteristics of 'Stithpragya purush' or stable minded person.
In the third chapter the Lord talks
about 'Karmayoga' and why Arjuna should follow the path of 'Karmayoga'.
Arjuna, who considered Krishna his
dear friend, a relative and a guide is quite surprised at the way Krishna talks
to him with conviction and authority. When the Lord told him that He had
imparted this sacred knowledge to the sun-God, Vivasvan, Arjuna asked Lord
Krishna:
Arjuna, "You have said that you
imparted this transcendental knowledge to the sun-god, Vivasavan, who in turn
passed it on to Manu, the father of mankind. But Vivasvan was born ages ago.
How could you have advised Vivasvan in the circumstances?"
Lord Krishna answered, "Arjuna,
both you and I had many births earlier. While I remember them, you cannot."

Lord Krishna explained to Arjuna that
in ancient times people who were seeking liberation were performing their
duties. Just as those wise men, Arjun should also, following their example,
carry out his work.
Further, Lord Krishna said,
"What is action and what is inaction is a question that has bewildered
even the intelligent and the wise. Let me explain the facts regarding action
and inaction. Inaction in this context is not lack of action due to laziness or
any other reason.
Inaction here simply means lack of
your expectations from your efforts. Without expecting if a person performs his
duty; it amounts to inaction in his action. This is desirable.
Action in inaction means that your
nonperformance is deliberate as you find it best for the occasion. Your inaction
is because of your decision which you have taken due to some reasons."
