The Upasana laid down in the Gita, is incorporated in the Mahabharatha, named as the Fifth Veda. The Mahabharatha is a veritable treasure-house of gems illumining the problems that confront man in worldly and spiritual matters. The Mahabharatha is a magnificent drama that was enacted by Sri Krishna on the stage called Dharmakshetra, where He had collected together all the items he needed for the production. Madhava, that is to say, Krishna, was Director who collected the participants, the cast, the songs each had to sing, the words each had to utter and decided on the exits and the entrances. He was the actor, the witness, the producer, all roles were He. On one side, immeasurable worldly power, soaked in unrighteousness, on the other side righteousness filled limited Atmic power. This is the essential charm of the Mahabharatha. This is the Bhagavadgita. The entire essence of the Mahabharatha is in it. "Karishye vachanam thava" - "I shall do exactly as you order". "One can find safety and happiness in doing one's own duties" - "Swadharme nidhanam sreyah". These are the touchstones of worldly Dharma.

Neglecting the path of Bhakthi which can add unto you all prosperity and progress, those who close their eyes and contemplate on "Aham Brahmasmi", "I am Brahmam", and suffer from the egoism it confers get only misery as their reward. If husk is pounded, no rice can be secured? Having no faith in Krishna's words, if one goes as his intellect dictates, it cannot be the road that leads to ultimate Truth, the Brahmathathwa. The Bhagavadgitha has itself taught beyond the possibility of doubt, by means of illustrative descriptions and incidents that Krishna is Parabrahmam itself. It is the essence of all Vedanthas. It is the repository of the Amrith, the Nectar; churned out of the entire collection of Sastras. It is the sacred stream of Indian Spiritual Thought, held in one text. Is there any one who can deny this?
