The Spiritual Import of the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad gita : Ch-10. Part-9.
Chapter 10: The Imperishable Among All that is Perishable :
Part-9.
There are not many actions or many activities; there is only one action and one activity.
There is only one actor and not many actors; this is another important thing that the Gita tells us.
With this tremendous message it strikes at the root of our selfishness and individuality.
We cease to be at one stroke.
The gospel of the Bhagavadgita melts us completely, and we vanish into thin air, as it were, if we are in a position to absorb into our daily life this life-giving message of the cosmic activity, which is God’s activity.
But, in our stupidity, we are not prepared to accept that God is the only actor.
We do not wish to be so charitable even in respect of God Himself.
“Why should He do all things? I shall also do something. I am also doing something; it is not true that God only does everything.”
What can we speak of man when he has such notions as these?
