Relevance of gita

Is Gita really relevant in modern times? The answer is yes it is not relevant it’s the key to remain happy and get going in life. Gita helps one to live with wisdom, composure and hope teaching one to take advantage of the its timeless teachings.

Arjun was not intelligent but brilliant, successful and wise but failed to understand the duties of life. He wanted to escape them without understanding the relationship of his nature and the universe. Gita does not say do not care love or show concern to your family friends and people around you. On the other hand it tells you to love and love all the while but be detached to incorrect emotions. What are incorrect emotions? Emotions of hate, jealousy, trying to be superior to the other, anger, greed are emotions that destroy the essence of your true being. Has Gita ever said abandon your duties as a householder. No it hasn’t but be wise and clever in handling situations and love with no ulterior motive. Secondly people think Gita says not to acquire material things in life. But I would say it teaches to work and earn. The basic agenda is to earn but manage your desires. You know you can do well and work for a comfortable life.

So do it. But if you become desireless going beyond your desire of requirements then the problem starts.

If you want to be dynamic from childhood then read and try to assimilate the main essence of Gita. It shall teach you to be responsible, teach you to work with a stable head, teach you how to control your undesired emotions and teach you to lead a satisfactory life.
