The pious knowledge and insight provided in Shrimad Bhagwat Gita is considered to be more valuable and condensed than provided by Vedas, Purans, Upanshads and philosophies propagated by many saints and priests put together.
Peace, internal happiness, knowledge, getting away from the cycles of birth and rebirth and ultimately merging into God Almighty should be the ultimate aim of a soul and its real journey.
To achieve the above one has to follow certain self-disciplines, philosophies, change in lifestyle, prayers and penance which has been lucidly and crisply explained in Shrimad Bhagwat Gita.
The preaching of Shrimad Bhagwat Gita were equally relevant thousands of years ago when Lord Krishna bestowed to Arjuna in the battlefield of Mahabharat, equally relevant even today and will remain relevant in future as well as it is eternal –Sanatan.
Though it is very difficult to condense the preaching of Shrimad Bhagwat Gita an attempt to provide a gist has been done here below:
| Beware of and don’ts | Practice |
| The expectation of fruits of your actions | Prayer and Meditation |
| The expectation of more than you need | Sweet and pious remembrance |
| Unsanctified/unholy food | Sacrifice |
| Attraction and infatuation unwanted sex | Visualising God everywhere and in everything |
| Anger | Concentration |
| Greed | Righteous duties |
| If you do as above you are bound to achieve | |
| Internal happiness | |
| Pious and eternal knowledge | |
| Relief from the cycles of birth and rebirth | |
| View and Vision of Supreme being | |
| Merging in the Supreme Being | |
| Eternal Peace – solace | |
Condensed preaching of Shrimad Bhagwat Gita
When you read Shrimad Bhagwat Gita every time you find new meaning not only of each shlokas but even the words – their meanings are very deep. It is rather impossible to convey the preaching of Shrimad Bhagwat Gita in condensed form but an attempt is being made to do so. I feel that if the following preaching which have been narrated in various shlokas referred against each can be adopted in life, it will definitely improve one’s life in achieving solace – nirvana.
