the words of visionaries, and here it is the Supreme Godhead, make meanings and context

just some food for thought..

Gita, if it is interpreted in the context of that bloody war can be nothing more than many of the pep talk books that mushroomed in every age..

We have to understand it as a stand alone treatise.. and as we are believers, we have to take it as coming from the Supreme being... who is free of any contexts..

Every statement of Gita is said as spoken by Bhagavan.. shree Bhagavan Uvacha.. not Krishna or Vasudeva..

Bhagavan.. the word is profound beyond our ordinary thoughts..

Of course we can take different stands in argument..

I remember what I quoted from Bhavabhooti a few days ago.. The words of ordinary men depend on the context and meaning.. But the words of visionaries, and here it is the Supreme Godhead, make meanings and context..

True, I have often tried to criticize Gita for the different tongues it speaks.. but there the prisoner of logic in me that is speaking..

In His supreme presence, no logic is relevant.. Yato vaacho nivartane..
