People hear, they recite Gita for the whole life without taking in the least effect thereof.
The essence of Gita never touches their heart
How many have so far turned around like Arjuna in spite of hearing the Gita for years together?
I would like to share with you all a great revelation
a mercy of my beloved Master, Pujya Shri Babuji Maharaj. Please pay close attention.
Let us visit the Mahabharat scene when the war was just about to begin
Arjuna is despondent and decides not to fight.
Now, consider how much time Lord Krishna could have
possibly required for speaking out the total text of Gita as we find it today?
The armies were standing face to face on the battlefield
and war trumpets were sounding aloud announcing the zero hour for that ultimate action.
How much time was there at the disposal of Lord Krishna to bring Arjuna back to proper course
getting him ready to fight the war by preaching sermons to him? Think over it
The recitation of eighteen chapters packed with seven hundred shlokas requires at least a few hours.
How could that be possible at that critical moment?
he could not have taken more than a few minutes for it.
The fact is that Lord Krishna actually transmitted to Arjuna
within a few minutes all those mental states necessary for the purpose at that very moment
Really, they were the very conditions which a spiritual seeker
passes through during the course of spiritual journey.
The process brought Arjuna instantly to a higher state of a feeling of spiritual consciousness
and purged out the feeling of undue attachment from his heart.
This can as well be possible today if a Personality of that calibre is there.
But as it is too commonly witnessed
People hear, they recite Gita for the whole life without taking in the least effect thereof.
The essence of Gita never touches their heart
How many have so far turned around like Arjuna in spite of hearing the Gita for years together?
Lord Krishna transmitted the knowledge to Arjuna as witnessed by Sage Vyasa
who transcribed the same in shloka format.
This is important to understand that whatever transpired between Lord Krishna and Arjuna,
unspoken words which were transmitted, they were transcribed in shloka format later on by Sage Vyasa.
This heart-to-heart transmission from the heart of the Lord to Arjuna
was witnessed by Sage Vyasa who carefully transcribed those emotions
and conditions in shlokas that became what we read today as Gita
The actually recited verses were only seven
The seven gems were imparted to Arjuna through seven verses.
The rest were added
by many sages over the passage of time besides what Sage Vyasa transcribed
the heart-to-heart conversation that was between Lord and Arjuna.
Heart to heart dialogue was also no less important,
perhaps more important than those seven verbal, communicated verses.
