– Which Sastra is the essence of all scriptures?

– Srimad Bhagavad-gita is the essence of all scriptures. For one who has not received the nectarean instructions of Bhagavad-gita, studying other scriptures is like an ass carrying a big burden. (Sajjana-toshani 12/2)

– What is the purport of Bhagavad-gita? Why was devotional service kept in the middle of the book?

– Bhagavad-gita consists of 18 chapters. Among them, the first 6 chapters deal with karma, the second six deal with bhakti, and the last six deal with jnana. The supremacy of devotional service has been established in this book. Devotional service is most confidential, but it is the life of jnana and karma. Since it awards one the goal of life, devotional service has been placed in the middle six chapters. (Bhagavad-gita introduction)

– According to Bhagavad-gita, what is the ultimate goal of the living entities?

– Bhagavad-gita instructs that the ultimate goal for the living entities is pure devotional service alone. Surrendering to the Supreme Lord, the most confidential instruction, is found in the concluding verses of Bhagavad-gita, beginning with sarva-dharman parityajya. (Bhagavad-gita introduction)

– Does Bhagavad-gita recommend fighting?

– Arjuna’s fighting is an example of attachment to one’s occupational duties. Fighting is not the conclusion of Bhagavad-gita. (Bhagavad-gita introduction)

– What is the confidential meaning of Bhagavad-gita?

– The confidential purport of Bhagavad-gita is that according to a person’s nature his qualification is determined. He should only engage in activities that are necessary to maintain his livelihood and that are prescribed according to his qualification, and he should search after the Absolute Truth. His perfection lies in doing so. (Bhagavad-gita introduction)

Natural Brotherhood (Bhaktivinoda Thakura):

BhaktiVinoda Thakura

"Gradually, when the offensive portions of the established religions are destroyed, there will be no more differences in the bhajana performed by the various Sampradayas nor any quarrel between them.

Then as brothers, the people of all castes and countries will spontaneously chant the Holy Names of the Supreme Lord together.

At that time, no one will hate anyone or consider others dogeaters; nor will anyone be overwhelmed by the pride of high birth.

The living entities will not forget the principle of natural brotherhood."
