Life does come with an instruction manual. If God created the material
world for the way-ward fallen souls, it would be unreasonable to
think, He wouldnt provide us with a instruction-book on nature.
Bhagavad Gita is that instruction-manual. In Bhagavad Gita, God
instructs mankind on how nature, including the body and mind, works
according to the three modes of material nature - goodness, passion,
and ignorance. God explains the science of how to act in the best
possible way, so as to cause the least damage to oneself and nature
and her other inhabitants - the way of dharma.
God describes different kinds of foods and their effects on the body.
God advises what to eat and what not to eat.
Then God explains different yogas - different ways of connecting with
Him. God says, that by surrendering to Him, He will protect one from
sinful reactions.
Finally, God explains the process of liberation from birth and death.
He says, the goal of life is to return home, back home to the
spiritual world, where we belong.
Bhagavad Gita is actually the only book on the planet in which God
describes in detail about Himself, the soul and the world and how they
are meant to inter-relate. Krishnas teachings are the pinnacle of
philosophy and religion. The philosophy delivered by Krishna in
Bhagavad Gita is without a doubt the most sophisticated and scientific
explanation of reality available anywhere in the world for all time.
"The reader is nowhere raised into and sustained in a bigger, purer or
rarer region of thought than in the Bhagavad Gita" --Henry David
Thoreau
"I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad Geeta. It was the first of
books; it was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy,
but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which
in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same
questions which exercise us." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
Krishna says:
My dear Arjuna, because you are never envious of Me, I shall impart to
you this most confidential knowledge and realization, knowing which
you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence. (Bg. 9.1)
This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all
secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct
perception of the self by realization, it is the perfection of
religion. It is everlasting, and it is joyfully performed. (Bg. 9.2)
