bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad-Gita: The Song of God contains spiritual details that are constructed towards Hinduism. The Bhagavad-Gita is the conversation between a man called Arjuna, and God himself in a human form. God in a human form is called Lord Krishna. The teachings of the Bhagavad-Gita primarily focus on the importance of the yoga and the awareness of the many paths to self-awareness and insight. Spiritual self-realization is the theme of The Bhagavad-Gita. The Bhagavad-Gita teaches readers that there is only one God and that humans are the soul which is eternal. According to the Bhagavad-Gita, God is the father of all living things and the reason behind why we have emotions of enjoyment and suffering. The Bhagavad-Gita speaks highly about the three major yoga concepts behind Hinduism. The Bhagavad-Gita teaches that individuals must create a perfection of purity of the mind and body as well as the behaviors of individuals to achieve salvation. The Bhagavad-Gita begins with the teachings of Karma Yoga, which is only skilled by performing. To purify the mind, an individual must act in peace with his/her Dharma without expecting an end result. Krishna states, “They are forever free who renounce all selfish desires and break away from the ego-cage of “I”, “me”, and “mine”…” (Chapter 2, Verse 71), Krishna believes that if an individual sets free his ego-driven intuition and wants, he/she will endeavor immortality. The path of karma yoga is important to gain spiritual happiness because an individual is letting go of his/her interests in occasions and personal works. When an individual acts without any benefit in return the outcome is a form of renunciation. For an individual to reach enlightenment, he/she must let go of emotional outcomes. Krishna states to Arjuna that “The awakened sages call a person wise when all his undertakings are free from anxiety about results; all his selfish desires have been consumed in the fire of knowledge” (Chapter 4, Verse
