We live in a world of conflict, but can inaction be the best solution? The Bhagavad Gita book answers this through poetry framed in a conversation between Arjuna and Lord Krishna.
Emotional Conflict
In the book, Arjuna looks at his opponents and sees friends, family members, and teachers. As the clan leader, he realizes he does not want to sacrifice the lives of many of his loved ones for the throne’s sake.
Krishna’s Answer
Lord Krishna sees this and reasons with Arjuna to do his responsibility and get on with the war. Krishna states that Arjuna must finish the battle for honor and duty. He also says that there are ways to go on with the war and avoid bad karma.
Bottom Line
The book is both philosophical as well as spiritual. If you are looking for wisdom regarding conflicts in life, the book is a good read.
