Sri Krishna, begins gita when Arjuna surrendered himself in the feet of the lord. now we know how surrender-ism is such a powerful weapon to attain moksham. today i want to start with the general gist of the great conversation... i am planning to write every chapter in each post... hopefully i would be able to do it... prayers to the lord for this. so bhagavad geeta... askin man to follow the righteous path... the most difficult thing which i think is to be able to discriminate. Discriminating the good and the bad... defining them... as once posted before...where i said defining things is the most difficult thing to do... once you define a situation you will definitely master the situation...be able to see through the glass... be able to discriminate... when i speak of philosphy, the very common question thrown at my face is : "what is good and what is bad?" ... i have tried answering in many different ways to different people... but in vain..none is convinced... i am still searching for the true answer... well.... the best guide for this would be The Geeta... here the lord in the 17th chapter... tells us everything which is good and everything which is bad... He has not tried to define it...here, he has has mentioned which things are good ( sattvika guna) and which things are bad (tamasika guna). let me give simple examples now... sattvika guna..person having a lot traits of sattvika guna would generally be active, thinks a lot about almighty, stoic, dettached. the person having tamasika guna would have traits like laziness, inactive, enemity et al. the one guna in between these two is rajasika guna...which i feel is where most of us are..... because most of us have traits from both the sides... Krishna also says that a man has to develop from tamas to sattvikam. i am writing this on my way back to home... in the cab... he happens to see my typing and coincidently, he is also very spritiual. one can tell that by the very look on his face. he works on the same floor, one guy who has a hair knot like the pujaris at temple!
well...continue tomorrow with proper gist of the first chapter.

List of wot is good and what is bad... hmm... thats too far..
i remember this dialog from one movie... " Nothing is wrong as long as it is for good motives... and even the rightest is wrong if the motive is bad " ...
..lol.. "naalu perukku nallathu seyiradhu na eduvume thappiila" :)
mmm...true... even i have been wondering why in bhagavad gita its said so...but i guess, its more of actions that one does makes gunas of a person..may it be the good thing with bad motive or bad thing with good motive its more of what path do you choose...less importance to the result.
