Alrighty, so apparently no one else aside from myself, Arlon, and charzhino gives a shit about the Bhagavad Gita.
Whatever, that's cool.
So, after reading chapters 4 - 7, I see that Krishna advocates the retrospective life AND the proactive, dharma-fulfilling-life karma-yoga for Arjuna: that is, the path of detached service to a goal that is beyond human care/suffering. Why the battle of Kurukshetra is such a battle is a question I pose to the more knowledgable of this board. So far, this seems like a petty dynastic battle, which Arjuna's brother being desperate for the prize, regardless of what others say. Why should the Hindu sages be so one Arjuna's and Krishna's side. The Indus Valley Civilization was pretty much wiped off the map. The justification and decision for such moves would be very interesting to hear.
