Gita GD 04 Mar 2021 - Chapter 2, Slokas 11,12,13

Published: April 4, 2021, 7:12 p.m.

In this GD, Bhagavan SriKrishna gives the solution to the fundamental problem of humankind.

\n

The various topical problems we have (related to health, wealth, relationships, ups & downs we face) all have a root cause in ignorance. The ignorance is OUR FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM. When the fundamental problem is solved, topical problems automatically resolve!

\n

Srikrishna addresses the 'summary of the solution'

\n

What is the source of grief? How does Bhagavan go about stating it is an 'illegitimate problem' that Arjuna has.

\n

How does Bhagavan connect that the grief is the outcome of Arjuna's ignorance? Why should we not grieve for anyone - living or dead?

\n

How does Bhagavan explain Atma? The soul? What was our reaction when we first heard about who we truly were? Was it incredulous? Or ridiculous?

\n

Why do we fear death when we don't fear everyday? Every new day /new moment already by definition indicates the 'previous day/moment' has died....likewise our body /mind is constantly 'dying' to give rise to new body/mind......If we can accept this without any qualms, why are we fearful of death? Isn't it the same as acquiring a new body?

\n

How is the human mind constructed? How can we have different perspective to the same situation - physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual? Which one should we adopt? Why we are not able to adopt a spiritual attitude?

\n

Do we have freewill? Some beautiful examples related explain that we indeed have freewill.
