GITA for Gen A to Z Ram Prakash Singhal

"Gita leads us from spiritual infancy to maturity, impulsive irrationality to intelligent rationalism, and agitation to tranquility.'G-OO-D' contains two 'O's between 'G', the God, and 'D', the Devil. First 'O' near 'G' denotes Obeisance to God; and second 'O', near Devil, denotes Obfuscation. Eliminate Obfuscation from life to see God in everything 'Good'. Ego and prejudice are the earplugs that stop us from listening to inner voice of God. Enjoy the 3 D film of life by wearing spectacle of Anaasakti, the indifference. Orthodoxy is the peel of a banana whose pulp is Dharm. We shouldn't set foot on the peel and slip into gutter but relish soul-nourishing pulp. Our senses must follow our commands like the 'Genie' of Aladdin's lamp. The best batsman defends his wicket by driving every ball to boundary but the less skilled runs to score; and the least skilled is bowled out. Dharm appears as the ferocious tiger Richard Parker in the film 'Life of Pi'. Initially Pi struggles to save himself from tiger; then it suddenly dawns on him that the tiger is an indispensible anchor of his life in the boat. His simple attitudinal change saves the beast and himself."
