    The Bhagavat Gita addresses the discord between the senses and the intuition of cosmic unity. It speaks of the Yoga of equanimity, a detached outlook. The term Yoga covers a wide range of meanings, but in the context of the Bhagavad Gita, describes a unified outlook, serenity of mind, skill in action, and the ability to stay attuned to the glory of the Self (Atman), which is of the same essence as the basis of Being (Brahman).''

    Very true. This seems a genuine question/concern. [whoever you may be!] Bhagavad Gita gives a clear knowledge on dharma/karma, self and the devotion to the Supreme Person. People should start to evaluate any teachings with respect to Gita, then more of the self-proclaimed religious masters can be ridden off.

    The Bhagavad Gita ('the melody of the Spirit' or 'the tune of the Lord') contains teachings of Bhagavan Krishna as a profound dialog between Sri Krishna and his pupil Arjuna.

    The whole learning of the universe is pressed into a negligible 700 succinct verses of the Gita. The Bhagavad Gita is the whole of the embodiment of the massive four Vedas, one hundred and eight Upanishads (voluminous editorials on the Vedas), and the six frameworks of Hindu theory.

    Nature, with her endless mixed bag and unyielding laws, is an evolute of the Singular Reality through an infinite daydream: maya, the "Enchanted Measurer" that makes the One show up as numerous grasping their own particular singularity structures and intelligences existing in clear partition from their Creator. Generally as a visionary separates his one cognizance into numerous dream creatures in a fantasy world, so God, the Cosmic Dreamer, has differentiated His awareness into all the astronomical indications, with souls individualized from His own particular One Being invested with the egoity to dream their customized presences inside the Nature-appointed show of the Universal Dream.

    The principle topic all through the Gita is that one ought to be a follower of sannyasa, a renouncer of this egoity instilled through avidya, lack of awareness, inside the physical self of man. By renunciation of all wishes springing from the personality and its surroundings, which cause separateness in the middle of inner self and Spirit; and by get-together with the Cosmic Dreamer through elate yoga reflection, samadhi, man separates himself from and eventually breaks down the compellent powers of Nature that propagate the delusive dichotomy of the Self and Spirit. In samadhi, the inestimable dream fancy ends and the delighted dream being stirs in unity with the immaculate astronomical awareness of the Supreme Being—always existing, ever-cognizant, ever-new Blis

    Well from the time gita disclosed to arjuna till now , there are numerous commentaries and opinions have been made by many great schloars and enlightend souls staring from Adi sankara to modern day gurus ,every one has his own opinions on gita . its very difficult to state which commentator have rightly said its essence . for me i was very much inspired of " Do your duty and dont expect the result " still i cant find the true meaning for that quote . so for me its the essence of gita i think .

    But if you take last chapter of gita , lord krishna says abandon everything surrender to me and do your duty without attachment . i think this should be the essence of gita . but im not scholar to confirm that , its just my view .

    But whatever it is . its true that each and every chapter and lines of gita are nectar of truths , we cant omit this or that . every sayings of krishna should be framed in our heart . they are nectar of wisdom..

    1) Krishna Avatar is the original Supreme Personality of the God Head(Vishnu)- Read ancient Aryan Deity of the Rig Veda), expanding into various forces, demi Gods and nature.

    2)Intellect and knowledge is the greatest devotion.

    3)Most favored is the pure devotional service.

    4)Maya(Illusion) conquers the world during Kali Yuga(age of ignorance and Anger), forcing the mlecchas(impure) to worship the Demi Gods in Various violent forms.

    5)When Adharma(Injustice in a global scale) rise, when a Yuga(eon) ends, the Supreme Personality will incarnate again and again, Sambhavami Yuge Yuge(Forever and ever) to re-balance.

    6) People should not be cattle and become one in "God"(Abrahamic methodology), but should do their own specific Karmas, differently . Karma Yoga(Samkhya Philosophy)/ advice's to Arjuna.

    7)The Supreme personality chooses, those who find him via curiosity, friends other Bhaktas(devotees), or pure Chance.

    8)The Soul is like energy, it leaves material to enter other material and cannot die thus.

    9)Wait for the Kalki, final avatar to re establish justice.
