Chapter 1 : Krishna and Arjuna

Arjuna is confused and perplexed by the situation of scorching his own family members, teachers and friends in a battle field.

He was in grief and impotent enough to fight.

Seeing his condition, Krishna reveals him the truth of life.

To represent Krishna's words in a cameo is anoia, but a small attempt has been made.

Krishna says,

a) There is no one killing, and there is no one killed.

b) What you think as your body or your mind is not you. It is just a collection of five elements from nature like earth, fire, water, earth and space.

c) You are misidentifying this body/mind as you. This mis-identification is the root cause of all sufferings, pain, grief, anger, aversion etc; because unless "I" the body/mind exists "You" will also exists and hence "I" & "You" will always cause duality and when there is duality there is conflict.

d) To overcome this conflict, Krishna gave the teaching of Dharma(Rules)

 

    1) Don't consider yourself as body or mind.

    2) Consider yourself as "Atman/Conciousness".

    3) Follow the marg/path of Bhakti Yoga- means always fix your mind in Atman( always remembering i am atman and not the body or mind).

    4) Follow the marg/path of Karma Yoga- means always remembering the one who is acting is not you(because you are Atman) and hence just act without thinking or asking for any fruit.

    5) It is difficult to fix the mind in Atman, hence Krishna says to use your intellect  and see what is Dharma and Adharma i.e what is actually correct and false. This looking with intellect is meditation or Dhyana.

    6) With constant meditation you will be free or Mukta or attain samadhi means whatever happens outside your mind will be free of it because you know the reality of it.
