What is the essence of Bhagwad Geeta?

1. Who am I?

Answer — you are not the mind-body complex with which you identify - you are the eternal Self (ātma) which is a spark of the Divine.

1. What am I doing here?

Answer — you are here because of your previously accumulated Karma - you are experiencing the fruit of your actions, and your current decisions to act are determining what you will become in the future.

1. What should I do next?

Answer — take control of your life and stop being a victim. You yourself are your own worst enemy and your own best friend.

Get proactive - work for the benefit of all sentient beings, and in so doing never be attached to the outcomes of your actions - act to the best of your ability. Do all actions as service to the Supreme Being (Krishna).

Start a spiritual practice (sādhana) based on regular meditation (dhyāna) and cultivate the virtues of non-violence, friendliness, compassion, generosity, equanimity (in good and bad circumstances) and treat everyone (friend & foe) equally without discrimination and prejudice.

Suffering is due to craving and attachment so give these up if you want to be happy.

Give up all self-initiated means of achieving your own Liberation from samsāra and surrender to Krishna alone.
