12. The Bhagavad Gita 《博伽梵书》

小新大人

The conversation continues, and Krishna explains how a person can lead a good life. They can practice renunciation, meditation, and selfless service. These three practices should be conducted in a balance. Extreme demonstrations of piety can be prideful and narcissistic. People should take satisfaction in completing acts as a form of service and devotion to god, not because they expect to receive a good outcome.



Krishna talks about the three gunas: sattwa, rajas, and tamas. Sattwa is the highest guna and it is associated with purity and harmony. Rajas represents ego and narcissism. Tamas is the lowest of the gunas and represents ignorance and negative qualities. Krishna says that all people are associated with one of the gunas, but they should strive to live their life according to sattwa. The people who recognize and heighten the divine in their actions achieve the highest form of meditation. In doing so, a person can come to understand Krishna and achieve enlightenment in such a way as to break free from the cycle of reincarnation.



Arjuna struggles with some of Krishna’s teachings. He has many questions. Krishna answers as many as he can. He gives Arjuna the power of divine sight to see Krishna in his true form. The vision has a profound effect on Arjuna, who now realizes the power of enlightenment. Krishna answers more of Arjuna’s questions and explains that Arjuna can achieve oneness with god by selflessly dedicating himself to the divine teachings that Krishna has shared.

《薄伽梵歌》，也许是所有印度经典中最著名的，被普遍认为是世界上精神和文学的杰作之一。理查德·戴维斯（Richard Davis）讲述了这本古老而经久不衰的书的故事，从它起源于古印度，到今天被翻译成75种以上语言的精神经典。Gita在一场强大的战斗前夕开幕，当时战士Arjuna被绝望压倒，拒绝战斗。他转向他的车夫克里希纳，克里希纳建议他为什么必须这样做。在接下来的对话中，阿诸那意识到真正的战斗是为了自己的灵魂。
戴维斯强调了这段传奇对话在印度古典文化中的地位，然后探讨了它在不同背景和背景下的生存方式。他审视了围绕克里希纳神性的中世纪宗教传统，并追溯了《吉塔》是如何从印度传播到西方的，在那里，它在拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生（Ralph Waldo Emerson）、亨利·戴维·梭罗（Henry David Thoreau）、J·罗伯特·奥本海默（J.Robert Oppenheimer）和阿尔杜斯·赫胥黎（Aldus Huxley）等人物中找到了崇拜者。戴维斯探讨了圣雄甘地（Mahatma Gandhi）和斯瓦米·维韦卡南达（Swami Vivekananda）等印度民族主义者如何在反对殖民统治的斗争中使用《吉塔》，以及当代口译员如何为今天的观众重现和演绎这部经典作品。
这本书是一部不朽杰作的重要传记，是对《吉塔》及其对我们所有人都必须进行的自我控制斗争的深刻见解的理想介绍。

Isn't that what we should be looking for

I find some introduction from the Internet which says Bhagavad Gita is a practical guide to one's life that guides you to re-organise your life, achieve inner peace and approach the Supreme Lord.Combined with the introduction of your post，I can know more about philosophical thought of Hindu philosophy.
