WHY THE GOD OF GITA INCARNATES HIMSELF
The Daily Guardian
|March 01, 2025
The Bhagavad Gita is accorded the highest status among Hindu scriptures, with its teachings regarded as the distilled wisdom of the Upanishads.
The Gita explains the concepts of the soul, God, consciousness, the duties of an individual, the qualities that make one divine or evil, and the path to salvation.
In effect, the Gita tells us how we should live, the qualities we should have, and how, on the basis of divine qualities, we can create an elevated state of mind and a happy future for ourselves.
The war in the Mahabharata, of which the Gita is a part, is an allegory for the struggle between good and evil.
It represents the battle that takes place in the mind when desires, expectations, and vices challenge the innate virtues of the soul.
The Gita tells us how we can win this inner battle and ultimately overcome our weaknesses.
Chapter 16 of the Gita dwells at length on the qualities that make a person divine or demoniacal.
