Chapter 2 Lesson 10
Let us try and understand Krishna before we try and understand the Geeta.
Krishna is incomparable. He can expound great philosophical truths yet He laughs, sings and dances. Krishna accepts life in totality. That is why in India Krishna is described as a perfect Incarnation of God.

Krishna says in Chapter 2 Verse 66:
A man who has not controlled his mind and senses, is undisciplined. And an undisciplined unthinking man can have no peace. And he who has no peace of mind can have no happiness.

If one looks closely at Krishna’s life one will clearly see that Krishna does not believe in suppression.
So what does Krishna do? He accepts life unconditionally. He does not shun love, war, conflict, friendship…He approaches all with love and compassion and a complete sense of ‘intelligent awarenes’ He kind of is ‘playing the part at hand with perfection’ and that in Hindu parlance is called the ‘Leela’

You might ask: Does living life unconditionally give one peace of mind? I believe that if one lives for the moment, sees the situation the way it is, does whatever one needs to do to change it according to ones wishes and then lets go of the consequences, one can achieve peace of mind and joy. It is what I do not tire of stating: Do your best and leave the rest!
