THE BHAGVADGITA (the supreme of all guidelines to dharmas)

• In Gita the subject matter is simply the realization of Brahman and the means thereto; the battle is only the occasion for its teaching.
• One can say, if one likes that the poet used it as an occasion because he did not look upon was as morally wrong.
• On reading the Mahabharta I formed quite a different impression.
• Vyasa wrote his supremely beautiful epic to depict the futility of war.
