Life throws many puzzles at us. When we are unable to solve them, we look towards people who have solved or trying to solve similar ones. What we forget is that we cannot copy in this exam. God has given us all different question papers. But we have a guide to refer to - the Bhagvad Gita! A book that has all the answers to our problems. Though often described as a dialogue between the Lord and his disciple-friend Arjuna, it is much more than that.

It is believed that Arjuna was just a medium of the Lord to send out his message to mankind. Arjuna’s dilemma about killing his kins gives us a lesson of being detached from our actions. It is not we who are doing things. The lord himself is getting things done by us.

Through this book the Lord points out that our biggest fear - death, is pointless. The soul never dies! It just moves from one body to another. So why should we morn for something that doesn't die at all? Another important lesson from this holy book is that man must always do his duty. Those who avoid it fearing the consequences incur sin.

These are just a few things we realize about life. As you dive deeper into this ocean, you will find answers to all your questions. So put aside all your fears and hold the Lord’s hand. Stay blessed!
