Need for us to read Gita - Part - 2

We all follow Gita. We ask all to do the same. Why do you think it’s really so important to follow Gita. What is the real reason for us to read Gita?

Gita is the lesson Lord imparted Arjun in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. He shows Arjun the path to dharma. He tells in details why and how he needs to keep all “asaktis” (the deep attachments), away and take the path of dharma.

The Path to Ultimate Truth

External world is always changing. If the external world keeps changing, then the real Truth is not to be found there. Sand changes to form bricks, they in turn form house. Our utensils are made from metals who take different forms at different level. Form changes yet we call them differently though they all are made of the same material of universe.

What about senses, do they help us in attaining the Truth? When the external world changes our senses have a tendency to see and feel only a limited version of the same. Eyes can see a limited world; ears can hear limited things and so on. Our senses do provide useful information in this journey of truth but its inadequate and limited information. Hence the eternal Truth or the absolute truth cannot be gained from them.
