Freedom of the Bhagavad Gita - Mansukh Patel

Each of the eighteen chapters of the Gita is intricately linked one to another. They take us systematically from the lowest point of a human being can experience – a state of hopelessness, helplessness and utter dejection, epitomized by Arjuna’s despondency in Chapter 1 – to the very highest clarity and freedom elucidated in Chapter 18 when Arjuna declares that this delusion is completely gone and his mind clear.

Each Chapter holds a unique lesson, enabling us to take a fresher look at who we are, who God is, what creation is composed of and the relationship between the three. The Gita takes a practical look at the very real conflicts that beset our lives and tells us exactly how to solve them. It helps us to realize that all the so-called suffering caused by fear, death, ageing, illusions and attachment is not really a problem at all when seen from the perspective of truth. In addition, the Gita offers unconditional love, joy, truth, peace and authentic contentment.
