1. How does Bhagavad Gita help us?
Bhagavad Gita helps us in may ways. It teaches not mere lessons, it
teaches life lessons. It can also be called as a guidebook to life. Human
beings are caught between dichotomies in every day life - pain & pleasure,
ego & true self and so on.
"He is what he chooses to act on." If he chooses to pursue his ego, it may
once again lead him to the endless cycles of life and birth. But when one
follows the true self, he attains liberation or moksha. And Gita truly guides
us in attaining the true self by shedding our ego.
Gita is derived from the Great Epic, Mahabaratha. The whole Gita centers
around the teachings of Lord Krishna to the confused Arjuna on the
battlfield of Kurushetra, where two families are preparing to battle.
It's not easy to answer how Gita helps & the entire teachings of yoga in a
quora question. If you want to truly taste the nectar of entire Gita, I would
suggest you to get this wonderful vedic book online, Bhagavad Gita - The
Transcendental Knowledge.
Some of the life lessons which I can share in today's quora are as follows:
Importance of Decision making
When Arjuna lost his courage to choose between duty and life, the
Supreme personality had stepped in. He stabilized the sinking courage of a
well-renowned warrior on time by imparting him with The Gita else the
battle would have been lost even before it had started.
Difference Between Knowledge and Wisdom
In general, knowledge is not just focusing on pieces of information. The
real knowledge lies in understanding the dharmic principles. When asked
by Karna (Son of Sun God) for not being revered as Arjuna, the Lord
replied that he had lost the essence of knowledge. He further explained
that Karna used his education to seek superiority over Arjuna and not for
establishing Dharma.
The Act of Forgiving
Bhagavad Gita (10.4) states, “Forgiveness belongs to a higher state of
mind and is originated from the supreme alone, yet attainable through

2. dedicated practices.” Aśvattāmā killed all the five sons of Draupadī
treacherously when they were sleeping at night. Though Draupadī kept
weeping as she thought of her children, she willingly forgave Aśvattāmā
for his deadly act.
