Sri Krishna expounding Gita,

In the middle of Kurukshetra, in a war between Truth and Falsehood.

Becomes the greatest epoch-making event for Earth, per Sri Aurobindo.

As Supreme reveals a Divine Truth to the mankind for Eternity

It was not His demand only for Arjuna but for entire humanity

To do His work only and do His bidding as a mere slave

Without any demands or desires or repulsion or calculation

And thus become a passive faithful instrument in His hands.

As the Gate of Infinite Spiritual Truth opens

And reveals many secrets of this Existence

There is only one Truth and Eternal Purushottama,

Having the Ultimate Light, Ananda, Knowlede and Power

Human Life is not for the sake of life alone, but for God

And living Soul of man is an Eternal Timeless portion of God

Men have to win over Prakriti,

And Listen to the soul’s Voice, the Divine Child present within

Only by the power of works, devotion and knowledge.

Man can reach the Eternal Brahma, the universal oneness,

With the vision of world-spirit;

But he has to Surrender himself completely

At the feet of One Eternal Supreme

Surrender everything, even all sense of Ego and Desire

Feel the Love and and oneness of OM, Brahma or the Supreme

As everything and everyone is Eternal One.
