Dear Steve,
Does 1.26 mean chapter 1 verse 26?
Thank you
Yes dear friends.... thanks for taking an interest. Chapter 1 deals with the despondency of Arjuna and his refusal to fight when that was the purpose of his incarnation being born to the warrior class. This chapter is incredible to discuss and contemplate upon. On a deeper level it leads us to an awareness of our own reluctance to fight the senses and meditate. I intend to take up this chapter on ‘God Talks With Arjuna’ for those interested. My hopes are that others will join me as I was happy to see your previous interest in the Bhagavad Gita and joined you in the past. In the Bhagavad Gita I find an interesting twist in its view of spirituality that I have not encountered in the Bible. That is its ability to express the need to also fight when it is necessary and why one should give rise to courage in our spiritual discipline and battles to overcome our lower nature. No doubt to some extent this despondency we face on our spiritual journey is discussed in many spiritual books but i have yet to see it so well explained as in the Bhagavad Gita.
