Page 41 - SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA

Commentary, we wanted to write the Natural Path commentary for the Bhagavad Gita. Then we went through this article and both of us came to a realized position that better we keep off it. The exercise was something that both of us thought very seriously about it. In this article you will see some points which made us think that perhaps, we should do some research on this. But then we left it there. It doesn't prevent anyone of you to try.
Almost everyone attempted it from his level of learning and reason. Please note that learning and reason, for the people to understand it from the same level of thinking. You come to a level and according to that you expect, other men to understand.
But though their physical labor in this respect may be appreciable to some extent, the actual purpose is not served at all. Because Gita commentaries are very voluminous, they run to many pages. Quite a lot of physical effort has to be gone through. Those days poor people, who without any computers to type with, without any light, they must have put lot of physical labor, in relative darkness without light, without the medium of ink, writing on some leaves. It must have been quiet an effort. He is not very charitable here. He says to some extent physical labor is appreciable. I would have been happy had he left it there. My mental tendency is such, that he could have atleast left it there. But he added to some extent. Almost denouncing their approach, because what is it that they have done to merit this type of statement. If you put that question, you know they tried to misinterpret God’s version, and that is something that nobody can accept, and it requires to be denounced. So the denunciation is not because we accept the learning or reasoning, but because there is a total perversion of what the Great Master and the Gitacharya were telling.
