    Eshwara - Who is God?

    Jeeva - How is the living entitty?


    Nature - What's this world?
    Kaala - Time factor
    Karma - Activities

    Context of war and Arjuna's Confusions

    Greed, Fearful, doubtful, Hopeful

    Selfishness makes one so shameless.

    Chapter 2 from 11th sloka - Krishna teachings begin

    Wisdom tolerance and maturity


    Faithful
    Integrity
    Forgiveness

    Our strength based on someone elses weakness is not a virtue or sustainable.


    Those who live only in the past is of no use to himself or any one else
    An action that lacks conviction doesn't sustain for logn!

    Reasonalble reasons to avoid his duty


    Logic is fine, dry logic
    Emotions must be there, we should not rely on complete logic. Dry logic is not too
    good, we should have some emotions.
    We shouldn't become too logical that we should give up our emotions, have
    compassion and forgiveness.
    Not constipated emotion and forgiveness. Total emotion and forgiveness.

    We should not become too emotions that we become dysfunctional.

    Reason1: Compassion
    Reason2: No enjoyment - No desire for kingdom, No pleasure without relatives
    Reason3: Fear of sin - Sin in Killing aggressors, Greedy men see no fault in
    killing relatives, but we do....
    Reason4: Effects of family destruction
    Destruction of dynasty -> Family traditions stop -> Irreligion increases -
    > Spoiled children -> NO worship

    Warrior vs soft hearted devotee who has some Tolerance, fogiveness, detachment

    When we are confused - we should take guidance of a guru.

    Chapter 2
    1. Arjuna accepts krishna as Teacher
    Krishna has wealth, wisdom, ,strength, fame, beauty and renunciation

    Arjuna is showing compassion, showing lamentatin, having tears.


    Krishna says
    1. Doesn't befit a prince
    2. Doesn't lead to higher planets
    3. Leads to infamy
    Now Arjuna asking more questions
    1. How can I attack Bhishma, Drona....
    2. Better live by begging.
    3. I don't know which is better -
    conquering or being conquered?
    4. Even unrivaled kingdom cannot mitigate my grief!

    2. Knowledge of Body and Soul


    3. Work for Enjoyment
    4. Work with detachment
    5. Qualities of a wise person

    When we think we know everything, we are confined to our knowledge only.


    Our experience is less, our age is less, our knowledge is less.
    When there is opportunity to learn - be open to learn from all sources.
    especially from our well wishers.

    This world is a place of confusion - A guru takes us on a journey from confusion to


    clarity.

    Miser - One who doesn't use the opportunity of human life.

    Confusion is common. But an intelligent person knows what to do in confusion -


    approach a teacher!
    An arrogant person tries to solve all one's problems by one's own intelligence.

    "When the magnitude of your problem goes beyond the ability of your intelligence to
    solve,
    humbly approach a reliable guru for solution. Such Humility is real INTELLIGENCE.
