In the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, the depiction of war serves as a metaphor for life itself—a continuous battle. This struggle is not limited to external conflicts with the world but also includes internal battles against one’s own destructive and malevolent traits. The world we inhabit becomes a battlefield, and within us, our minds and body also become arenas for combat. Here, we engage in physical and mental struggles, confronting our own negative, unlawful, and evil inclinations, desires, thoughts, and attitudes.

Within the complexity of life, we find ourselves making sacrifices that can serve both good and evil purposes. Our actions and decisions are influenced by circumstances and our own desires and expectations. By immersing ourselves in the study of the Supreme scripture, we, as seekers, gain mastery over our minds, learning to consistently make socially responsible choices and do what is right.

Motivation drives from within to fulfil one’s duties, to achieve, to face challenges, to rise above the existing standard of life and so on. What many people sometimes overlook is that even if they receive great support from the outside, what matters the most is the drive from within. The support from outside can be in the form of materialistic support or moral support. Reading and understanding these selected Shlokas can greatly influence one’s inner drive. The Srimad Bhagavad Gita guides a seeker through various stages to finally arrive in the state of Divine Realisation. Reading selected Shlokas can help people in their momentary need of a strong boost of mental energy, but doing so alone will in no way substitute reading and studying the entire life-changing scripture, the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.
