In this manner,  on the subject of God many say that God is with attributes, many say that God is without attributes,  many say He is with form,  many say  God is formless,  many say He is with two limbs, many say He is with four limbs,  many say he has umpteen limbs,  many say He has a Universal form.  Some say that he is manifest, some say He is unmanifest,  some say He incarnates,  some say that He does not incarnate;  etc. etc. 


In the same way, on the subject of the World, many say that it is without an end and still,  some say it is infinite and changing, that is, the World is the kind to remain in the form of a flow (a stream that constantly runs) etc. etc.  


Gita instead of getting caught up in these debates,  has come out straight and said that whatever you see in front of you is the “World”.  Every man has the
experience of “I am”  - the one who experiences this is a “jeev”  (embodied soul).  The Lord of all -  sentient-insentient,  lower (apara) - higher (para) is “ishvar”  (God).   In these Gita related talks,  all philosophers are of the same opinion.   In this there is one exceptional point, that if someone does not believe in God,  then too if they conduct themselves according to the Gita, they can attain their supreme good!

In dealing with the world, Gita has shared an exceptional art,  whereby any man, in any situation while dealing with the World,  on staying away from prohibited actions, he can attain salvation.  In other holy texts,  it
is said that if you desire your salvation, then renounce everything and become an ascetic;   because relating with the world and spirituality -  both cannot take place at the same time.  But Gita says that wherever you are,  whatever your belief system is,  whatever principles you adopt,  whatever religion,  sect-community etc,  you believe in,  while believe that itself,  if you conduct yourself according to the Gita, then your supreme welfare will take place. The point is that any person whether he is a Hindu, or a Muslim, or a Christian,  or a Jew, of a Parsee,  whatever belief system he may be practising,  whatever principles he believes in,  if his aim is to attain his supreme welfare, then he too will get all the materials in Gita.
