We should look upon this body as the kingdom ruled by the King within which is the Parabrahman,, by the Soul which is part of the Parabrahman. Sanjaya, the narrator to King Dhritarashtra, intercepts now and then with a comment of his own. There are a total of 18 chapters with 701 verses (slokas.) Each of the chapters has a title and the title ends with the word Yoga. The word Yoga is derived from the word Yuj which means Unite. Study of every chapter assists the seeker to unite with the Lord and hence the use of the word Yoga. Arjuna as such was a great and well respected warrior who had won many laurels. The thought of death of so many soldiers and heroes in the battle and his own role in that made him loose heart. He lost the will to fight and was prepared to let wicked Duryodhana and his brothers rule the kingdom. He forgot he was fighting for his brothers in the battle of righteousness. Instead of turning his back and leaving the battlefield, he decided to take the guidance of Sri Krishna, the charioteer, on the right path of action to take. The Gita as the Light of Knowledge has given a great number of people including Arjuna himself, the first recipient of the teaching, the opportunity to attain union with the Parabrahman. The state of happiness unfortunately makes the ego strong and we feel proud of achieving the success. On the other hand, when we encounter grief, we tend to turn to God as the final resort for help. In this way, the state of grief does help one to remember the God and this in turn helps in attaining Liberation. Kuru Kshetre: the place where the battle took place: ie: Kurukshetra. In this instance, it is the field of Kurukshetra that is referred to. As we move along, when we come to the 13th chapter, we will be shifting the scene to the mind within. Sanjaya was given the special powers to actually visualise the events on the battlefield by sage poet Bhagawan Veda Vyasa. As a matter of speaking we can look upon Sanjaya as the battlefield reporter giving first hand information to his king. Because of blind love to his son, he decided to hold on to the kingdom that was not rightfully his. In a similar way, we, the common menwomen of this world, are holding on to the physical body which is not actually ours. We cannot live even for a second without the energy which is the Life Principle. We all have got attached to the physical body and it is the Ego that makes us do it.
