Gita is a complete and absolutely clear interpretation of the universal philosophy. Its message is relevant, and important, not only for Indians but for the whole world irrespective of any religion and caste.

The conversation between Shri Krishna and Arjun is a subtle representation of the interaction between the God ( Parmatma ) and the Soul ( Atma ).

Let us experience the message of Gita through some of its most important Shlokas.

         NAINAM CHHINDANTI SHASTRANI,

               NAINAM DAHATI PAWAKAH,

        NA CHAINAM KLEDAYANTYAPO, 

               NA SHOSHAYATI MARUTAH.

The Soul can neither be destroyed by weapons, nor can it be burnt by fire. Similarly, it cannot be affected by adverse climatic conditions. The external factors do affect the body but the Soul has no effect of them. The Soul always remains in a state of constant stability.

           VASANSI JEERNANI YATHA VIHAYA,

               NAWANI GRIHANATI NAROPARANI,

        TATHA SHARIRANI VIHAYA JEERNA-       

               NYANYANI SANYATI NAWANI DEHI.

As, we shed old clothes and put on new ones, similarly the Soul that lives in the body, leaves it when it gets old, entering a new one thereafter. If, therefore, we believe that we, represented by Soul ( Atma ) would get a new body after the death, then there will be no distress to us and the fear of death will also be gone. We can therefore continue to perform our worldly duties.

             KARMANYE WADHIKARASTE 

               MA PHALESHU KADACHANA,

        MA KARMAPHAL-HETURBHUH, 

               MA TESANGOSTWAKARMANI,

It may be concluded that if one applies the teachings of Gita in one’s life he can overcome the fears/difficulties of this life and beyond too.
