For analyzing Bhagavad-Gita truthfully one needs traveling the spiritual path... the uncharted path of spirituality... traveling which one gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). Part analysis of Bhagavad Gita is possible to some extent by following a set pattern as detailed in Bhagvad-Gita. For understanding Bhagavad Gita... for interpreting the sacred Bhagavat Gita... one needs understanding crux of cosmic life... the essentials of karma... the role played by five senses and the mind! One also need understand the meaning of celibacy... the process of kundalini awakening... the difference between religion and spirituality! While interpreting Bhagavad-Gita we realize the absolute truth of life... it is our soul atman the spirit within that is on its cosmic journey of 8.4 million manifestations... an earthly life cycle of 96.4 million years! It is our soul atman the spirit within that manifests the human form to work out its karma... remove the dross impurities within! It is by following the dictates contained in Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism... we realize that fruits of karma performed... never belonged to body... the human form! The fruits of our works... the karma performed always belonged to our soul atman the spirit within and never the human form! The prime reason why human beings are simply an instrument in the hands of God!
The moment human beings reached the 8.4 millionth manifestation... as per sacred Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism... the enlightened one after gaining enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha) enters the abode of God... the kingdom of God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism). The contents of sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism can never be assimilated by followers of religion. For analyzing Bhagavad-Gita... for understanding Bhagvad Gita traveling the path of spirituality is a necessity... a compulsion in the journey of life! To understand our real inner self... our soul atman the spirit within we have to understand the intricacies of spirituality!
Both Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana started their journey towards God via path of bhakti yoga! Subsequently the path of bhakti yoga merged with the path of jnana yoga... the path of absolute wisdom! It is by traveling the path of absolute wisdom... the path of jnana yoga... both Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana finally gained enlightenment! Enlightenment can never be gained by traveling the path of bhakti yoga or karma yoga alone... one needs traveling the path of jnana yoga finally to reach the kingdom of God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism). The path of jnana yoga entails understanding wisdom contained in sacred Bhagavad-Gita of Hinduism in totality!
A critical analysis of Bhagavad Gita has been attempted by many scientists world over but none has succeeded till date! Why? The contents of sacred Bhagavad-Gita... the analysis of Bhagavat Gita can never be made by following the precincts of science! Science demands proofs that are not forthcoming in the system of God. The entire cosmic system... the doctrine of spirituality is run on faith... absolute faith in God Almighty! It is by following the path of absolute faith Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammed, Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana finally gained enlightenment in their lifetime!
The sacred Bhagavat-Gita of Hinduism is necessitated if one desires traveling the spiritual path... reaching the end goal of life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! Those busy with the routine affairs of life need not travel the spiritual path at all. God Almighty ordained a total journey of 12.4 million earthly years for human beings to reach the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana)! Who knows what we shall be in the next manifestation... it is better we travel the spiritual path now! As human beings we have only one life to live. As per the doctrine of karma even though two manifest life forms are intrinsically connected but on the physical manifest plane we are limited by the life span of 70 to 80 years... the existing physical manifest life!
Guided by the promptings of our soul atman I finally realized God in 1993 at 37 years of age! I started in search of God when 11 years of age. By 13 my simple desire turned to firm conviction... come whatever may in this very life I shall see and meet God! 25 years of yoga meditation I finally reached the portals of God Almighty... the stage of God realization! Understanding the core teachings of Bhagavad Gita has its benefits! One becomes the master of free will... our own destiny! In a way we finally manifest destiny by pursuing the path of absolute truthfulness... the path of spirituality as ordained by Bhagavad-Gita! Bhagvad Gita is not a document to be read in its entirety... one needs assimilating the wisdom contained therein!
The sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism is a universal document... it has universal appeal! Any person living world over... belonging to any belief, religion or faith can understand the wisdom contained in Bhagavad-Gita and reach the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). No matter what... the portals of God... the kingdom of God can never be reached via the path of religion... the path of Jaina doctrines... the path of Buddhist scriptures... by analyzing wisdom contained in sacred Bible of Christianity or the sacred Quran of Islamic Dharma! Enlightenment and salvation is always reached following teachings contained in Bhagavad-Gita.
With the coming of Bhagavad-Gita... with the precipitation of Bhagavad Gita... the gist of Vedas and the Upanishads was reduced to sacred Bhagvad-Gita also termed Vedanta (the end of Vedas). In present times one need not follow the wisdom contained in Vedas or even Upanishads... the wisdom contained in Bhagvad Gita suffices for all practical purposes! For learning
the ABCD of cosmic system... right from the stage of big bang to
the stage of dissolution of the cosmos (termed Pralaya in Hinduism)...
all is contained in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism! By attempting
to critically analyze teachings of Bhagavad-Gita and assimilating
the wisdom contained therein one finally reached the stage of enlightenment
(kaivalya jnana)!
