Arjuna was a friend and life-long student of Krishna. His voice stands for the questions we mortals have when tested and confused. And also the magical discernment once Krishna unveiled the knowledge unto him. Their conversation, amidst the battlefield, is among the most potent narratives ever penned down - Bhagvad Gita - gods’ song!

At the end of this conversation, Arjuna said

> Nashto Moha , Smritir Labdha !

> [I am] devoid of illusions, [I am] found by wisdom !

It is not uncommon that we get temporary relief from cyclic illusions (Moha). Such events - normally a deep loss - often lead to depression. They leave the disillusioned in a vacuum. Gita on the other hand, spotlights truth through wisdom embedded in our intelligence (Smriti). Instead of exit (sanyasa), it welcomes the precious gift we all are endowed with - human experience. In doing that, it provisions lasting peace and worldly success - a win-win.

**Gita is for everyone - it is not religion, race, profession or place specific.**

Gita is the source code of Karm Yoga - the work protocol. While Karm Yoga is proven means to exit sufferings of this world, it also elaborates the ideal path to approach value exchange. It establishes the spiritual foundation for selfless (free) and open pursuits (Nishkaam Yazna) to enable society adopt work ethics - foremost example being Arjuna, who wanted to shun his responsibility as a warrior. Finding peace (and prosperity) in work without desires is relevant even today - it is a timeless idea.
