Guest guest Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 Bhagavat Gita - 11 Conflict between Work and Contemplation (Chapter 3 verses 1-2) Hearing the discourse on 'Ideal of the man of steady wisdom', Arjuna's confusion only increases. If that state of inwardness and serenity depicted in the above ideal is the end for man to seek, how could its pursuit be reconciled with the life of action to which Krishna has been simulataneously exhorting him, especially when that action is participation in a terrible holocaust like a fraticidal war? He therefore poses this question before Krishna, and rest of the chapter is Krishna's answer to it. ============================================================================ Based on " Srimad Bhagavat Gita - The Scripture of Mankind " a translation by Rev Swami Tapasyanandaji, published by Sri Ramakrishna Math - Chennai. http://www.sriramakrishnamath.org/ -- --------------- Email: gokulmuthu Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/gokulmuthu/ --------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
