It’s been more than a week now we have started learning process and many of my well wishers asked me one Question.Why Gita? why now ? It reminded me to go back and search past for the reasons and I did find at least one reason.
INHERITANCE – Grandfather’s wish
In India (and also in rest of the world), GenNext (next generation) gets precious and earned assets in inheritance from their parents and/or grand parents. Inheritance in the form of assets and balanced wealth, comes with a will, where generally it is advised to use wealth for noble cause in society.
I received nothing but a book from my granddad as an inheritance few years back and was told that this is the only thing I required in life, rest can be earned effortlessly if I learn from this book. I was also advised to read it as early as possible and as many times possible throughout the life and convey the message to world.
A book with no more than 200 pocket size pages. What do you think, how much time it takes to complete such book? 10 days..? oh..If you are avid reader..2 days and 2 nights are max! Imagine how much time I took to just start first chapter of this book? Only 15 years. 10 years old in me could not understand importance of the book and the book went into secured permanent place in temple. Despite visiting temple everyday, I did not even look at that book for last 15 years of my life. I will call these 15 years as fatal miss for not understanding value of precious inheritance I possessed and responsibility attached with it. Book is not only family heritage to me but is cultural heritage passed on by many generations with sole purpose – understand and celebrate synergy between matter and spirit. It is not only for my personal transformation but for the entire mankind’s enhancement. Finally, having this understanding developed in 2008, I felt selfish this summer for not understanding simple but profound message given as a book by my grandpa and started taking care of my most precious asset on planet earth since last three months by enchanting and learning one shlok a day from the book and a work undone so far has been started and will go on forever.
