Bhagavad Gītā is an allegory of advancement in spiritual life. Our defects are our enemies. Since we cannot experience bliss until our heart is purified, the first step in spiritual life is to recognize our internal enemies, in the same way that Arjuna needed to see his opponents facing him on the battlefield. To become attached to God, we need to fight with these enemies which manifest as material attachments.
The Gita teaches us how to offer our material ego to God. It brings us to the level of being non-violent in the ultimate sense, beyond the dualities of material existence. Only if we transcend our material ego are we really free.
Emphasis on character improvement
Babaji stressed that knowledge is very important because a person’s action and behavior depend on his or her knowledge. In India the emphasis has always been on improving a person’s character which depends upon having proper understanding of the principles of life. Merely possessing knowledge without using it as the basis for one’s actions is only a burden.
If you chant one round in Vrindavan it is equal to chanting 100 rounds outside. It is not just one-sided though. You have to remember that if you make a mistake here, it is also 100 times. If you perform a sinful activity here, then there is no solution for that. You must suffer heavily. If you do some mistake here it implicates you heavily. If you do something good here then you will benefit.
