a story from bhagvat gita
Answers
Answer:
Once a rich man having all opulence’s in life was not happy because of this worrying attitude.
He went to an astrologer and showed his horoscope.
The astrologer said, “Everything is alright in your horoscope now. Your anxiety of mind without any reason is simply troubling you. So you should learn Bhagavad gita from an Acharya and implement it in your life. That will solve all your anxieties. There is no other solution”.
The rich man went to an Acharya and the Acharya was very happy to teach him Gita.
He said “OK. We’ll start with first chapter and complete the whole book of 18 chapters in 3 months”.
The man said, “No Swamiji. I’m busy with many things. So teach me the most important part”.
The teacher said, “OK. Just learn 18th chapter. it is the summary of the Gita and it will take 2 weeks”.
The man said, “Even 2 weeks is difficult. Teach me something more simple”.
The teacher said, “OK. There is one sloka in the 18th chapter starting with sarva dharman parityajya. Just learn that one sloka and it will give you the essence of the Gita”.
The man said “One sloka is also difficult for me to learn. Tell me something more simple.”
The acharya said, “There is one important word in that sloka ‘ma shuchah’, which means, “Do not worry”. Just understand this and Gita is understood.”
The man said “That’s alright. But I’m already in anxiety and tell me how to remove it. Just telling “do not worry” will not help me. Please tell me what I should do to get rid of anxiety”.
The teacher said, “That is what the Gita is all about. If you want to know how to be free of worries then you should start from the chapter 1 of Gita and go through patiently and understand all the chapters. There is no shortcut to this process as Bhagavad Gita is itself a short cut given by the Lord. It is the essence of all Vedas and the Lord has mercifully given that so that one need not go through the brain-breaking Upanishads and Vedic mantras to understand the truth.” The man came to his senses and started studying Gita from beginning seriously under that Guru.
