2. The visible characteristics; of the innate core of an
individual during youth; are; creativity, utopia,
vigor, compassion, impatience, vengeance and so on.
Gorky’s novel; “Mother” catered and satisfied these
characteristics of youth. One felt that “Mother”
could “awaken and revitalize” the people and bring
about revolution.
“Mother” certainly makes a wonderful, necessary
and useful reading during certain stage of
development.
During youth some of us come across Geeta also. We
read Geeta and feel euphoric and elated that we read
Geeta! Hence we quote it from time to time and place
to place and while aggrandizing ourselves “use
quotes from Geeta which suit us; to thrust” our
opinions.
But whether we are infatuated and glorify and/or
worship Geeta; or whether we find it useless and/or
counterproductive and hence neglect, ridicule or

3. condemn Geeta; the fact is that we do not understand
and do not appreciate Geeta and her relevance to us
and the universe.
As we grow from within; while learning from life; we
study Geeta. As we keep studying; we stop glorifying
or condemning her blindly and in vain.
Gradually we realize that “Understanding and
appreciation of Geeta” in true sense; invariably and
inevitably leads to immortal enlightenment at
personal level and holistic renaissance at universal
level!
What is remarkable is that; Geeta does not enforce
any ideology or impose any blue print of social
development. She enables and empowers us to
experience the universal unity; and evolve and
practice holistic perspective, policies and programs
for individual and universal blossoming!
