Page 43 - SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA

Similar is the case for the worship of God, who is represented as physically similar to man, with the only difference that he is a superior being and has a bigger sphere in proportion to his bigness. This perhaps is a very indirect reference to what we call the visvarupa darsana, that was given where you have got the portrayals today made of visvarupa darsana, saying that He is a very mighty Being with the head touching the heavens and the feet touching the patala all sorts of things. All these are our notions. So many Gods and all put together as heads. Sahasra Sirusha Purusha as been told. Reality has been distorted to such an extent, that we are lost in the unreality.
But not taking up that topic at present, I confine myself to the subject proper. The Great Acharya gives a message. It is not for realising the Ultimate that he gave but there was a need there. Somebody was suffering from dharmasankata. The problem had to be solved. So let us understand the context in which it is given.
It was in accordance with the need of the time that Lord Krishna revealed the truth depicted in the Gita to Arjuna. We must be highly indebted to Him, for all that he put forth for our benefit, which in course of time has become the guiding light for us all. So here is a positive assertion that what tradition has been saying that the Bhagavad Gita is a source of which we can draw inspiration. He never said no. If you read the earlier paragraphs only you will come to the conclusion, that he has objected, what he has objected to was the commentaries. Not the Gita proper. Please understand the difference because this is what exactly is our difficulty.
