The
Bhagavad Gita formulates the theories of the three paths without creating any
conflict among them. It harmonises most wonderfully the philosophy of action,
devotion and knowledge. All three must be harmoniously blended if you wish to
attain perfection. You should have the head of Sri Shankara, the heart of Lord
Buddha and the hand of King Janaka. The three horses of this
body-chariot—action, emotion and intellect—should work in perfect harmony. Only
then will it move smoothly and reach the destination safely and quickly. Only
then can you rejoice in the Self, sing the song of Soham, be in tune with the
Infinite, hear the soundless voice of the Soul and enjoy the sweet music of the
eternal Self.
The
central teaching of the Gita is the attainment of the final beatitude of
life—perfection or eternal freedom. This may be achieved by doing one’s
prescribed duties of life. Lord Krishna says to Arjuna: “Therefore, without
attachment, constantly perform action which is duty, for, by performing action
without attachment, man verily reaches the Supreme”.
