The Gita's teachings can be put to good use only if understood properly and practiced in life. Love, patience, selflessness, forbearance, forgiveness, sacrifice and thorough consideration for others are the Gita's teachings. If one follows them, there should be little difficulty in facing any situation any time any where. Usually physical pleasures, lust, greed and selfishness are primary obstacles in interacting with others. A society based on such selfish attitudes causes depression, frustration, anxiety and loss of hope. There is no need for such a mundane and depressing life since the Guru-Mother, the Gita, is available to us. Just start learning the Gita and applying its principles immediately. You need a dependable guide and map to guide you in an unknown country, and the Gita is there for you as your Eternal Companion and guide.
