Guest guest Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 "The Gita is like a balance: scales, needle and all. The scale on the left is the 7th Sloka of the 2nd Chapter, speaking of "Karpanya Dosha". The fulcrum is the 22nd Sloka of the 9th Chapter, beginning with "Anayaschinthayamshomaam"; and the scale on the right is the Sloka in the 18th chapter, speaking of "Sarvadharmaam Parithyajya". See how apt the fulcrum Sloka is. It speaks of single-minded attention, "steady, like the needle of a well-adjusted balance". Really, the Gita begins with two scales and a fulcrum: the two armies of Righteousness and Unrighteousness with Krishna, the Teacher, in the middle. - Swami Explore your hobbies and interests.
