The Gist of Gita
(Gita ka Taatparya)
Srimad Bhagavadgita, though being in this world, is a transcendental holy scripture. She is filled with many exceptional sentiments. So far the number of commentaries that have been written on Gita, have not been written on any other Holy text. There are many translations of the Bible, but there is not a single commentary. The propagation of the Bible is due to the influence of sovereignty and wealth, but the spread of the Gita is due to her own glories and influence. The point is that the amount of effort that has gone into searching the inner meaning of Gita, that much has not gone into any other holy text, then too there is no end to the depth of this holy text!
In few words if one is to say the purpose of Gita - it is for the salvation of all of mankind. In the scriptures there are several paths for attain one’s salvation. Seeing in the commentaries on Gita there is one (Advaita), some say everything is variant or dual (Dvaita) is the reality, some say qualified unity (VishishTaadvaita) is the universal truth, Some claim some absolute unity (Shiddhaadvaita) is ultimate, some paths telling that the universe is sometimes diverse and sometimes integral (Dvaitaadvaita), some say it is dual and non-dual beyond one's imagination (Achintya Bhedaabheda) – there are innumerable intellectual variances like this (claiming the reality) based on which the commentaries are written. In this manner even though there are many systems, principles, doctrines Gita has no opposition to any of them. Gita has not criticized any doctrines; however it has said something so exceptional, that in front of it, all prostrate and bow before it. The reason is Gita has not taken any one particular system or doctrine in to consideration, rather it has been shared for the benediction of all beings.
Educators shares their doctrines in the name of principles. But doctrines are not foremost and best. Every individual introduces his own opinions into it. However, principles are topmost, which everyone has to accept. Therefore there can even be differences between master-disciple, but there cannot be differences in principle. However in Gita, the Lord has not shared His principles calling them as principles, but rather He has called them
“opinionâ€; just as -

Mayi sarvaani karmaani sannyasyaadhyaatmachetasaa,
Niraashirnirmamo bhootvaa yudhyasva vigatajvarah.
Ye me matmidam nityamanutishthaanti maanavaah,
Shradhaavantonasooyanto muchyante te-pi karmabhih . (Gita 3/30-31)
God says in Gita 3:30-31 - Surrendering all actions to Me, with the mind firmly fixed on the Highest and free from desire and the
feeling of mine-ness and disconcertedly doing your duty of waging war. Persons who always follow this teaching of Mine, with faith and without question, are released from the bondage of all actions.

God's opinion, point of view is real and best of all principles and doctrines, and within it's range, all doctrines, philosophies, opinions etc. are encompassed. But God, without being arrogant, with great humility and simplicity, shares His principles and doctrines, as His humble opinion
"mat". The point here is that, at no time God has been insistent on his point of view or that of any one else. Rather, by being unbiased, He has put forth His own

All the different
reliable doctrines that express a belief in God, in all of them, there is description of three things - God (Supreme Consciousness, Paramatma), Individual Soul (Jeev) and World (Jagat). In these three subject areas, there are umpteen differences in opinions and schools of thought). These cannot be clearly expressed in English language without falling into the trap of disputes and controversies. (for greater clarification please read the hindi message).
