The Spirit of Bhagavad Gita<\/strong> – One must accept Bhagavad Gita, as it is, as Lord Krishna spoke to Arjuna \u2013 no addition or no deletion to His instructions. As Srila Prabhupada says in the Introduction: The spirit of Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101 is mentioned in Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101 itself. It is just like this: If we want to take a particular medicine, then we have to follow the directions written on the label. We cannot take the medicine according to our own whim or the direction of a friend. It must be taken according to the directions on the label or the directions given by a physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Similarly, Bhagavad-g\u012bt\u0101 should be taken or accepted as it is directed by the speaker Himself. Ultimately Lord Krishna will reveal this knowledge to us if we sincerely surrender unto Him. He is there within our hearts and He will reveal this knowledge as we hear from the bonafide spiritual master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Srila Prabhupada is against the idea of using selected verses from Bhagavad Gita to put forth one’s misdirected ideas. There are 700 verses in Bhagavad Gita and one must accept all the verses, just like as per your medical prescription you have to accept all medicines -you cannot reject one and accept another. There are 3 Spirits of Bhagavad Gita-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
