the When he enters this world, a living being's mind is blank, except for the recollections of being kept within a cage for several weeks or months. Then his learning process begins gradually. Throughout his life, he keeps learning from various sources family, teachers, friends, strangers, environment, nature, books, television, movies, the internet, and whatnot. But there always remains a large knowledge gap that needs to be filled. None of these sources of knowledge gives him an insight into himself. At all times, he identifies himself with a face, a gender, an address, a city, and a country. If he obtains a degree and a professional designation, he begins to associate himself with those qualifications and titles. All his life he thinks himself to be the child of his parents, the husband of his wife, the father of his children, and so on. However, that void is never filled, because none of these is his true identity.
Most of us never ask ourselves who we truly are, where we came from and for what, where we will go once we die, and other similar questions about our identity. It's true that at some point in our lives, we all face these questions. However, we have no idea where to find the answers and are too busy to keep looking. So, we don't bother much.
The Bhagavad Gita has all of those answers.
The Bhagavad Gita is a book of open secrets. 'Open' because we all have access to it. 'Secret' because most of us do not care to expose ourselves to that knowledge. And many of those who do enter this magnificent pool of wisdom do not receive much out of it, all because they were expecting a quick fix mantra that would solve all of their problems instantaneously.
The Bhagavad Gita is the comprehensive instruction manual provided by God to us for living a perfect life in this material world.
Even after reading over a hundred books on the subject, I haven't been able to define the Bhagavad Gita in one sentence any better than this. Over the past decade, I've tried to come up with a comprehensive definition of the Bhagavad Gita; but every time I tried, the definition grew into a one-page synopsis. I eventually concluded that the only way to comprehend Gita properly is to read it from beginning to end. There are no sets of words that can adequately express the depths of knowledge it contains.
