The Bhagavd Gita's Message of Harmony in an Interdependent World

The Bhagavd Gita's Message of Harmony in an Interdependent World

Abstract

The great scriptures of the world religions have been consistently speaking of a spiritual power that binds everything together in an evolutionary process. Rta, Dharma, Yajna, Tao and Reign of God are some of the symbols which point to this unifying reality. In the light of that religious sages look at the world as a gift from the divine source and as a responsibility as well. It is a grace to realise that everything is bound with every­ thing else in a divine ambience and it is a responsibility to pro­ mote this inter-relationality in a harmonious process. Global spirituality is a matter of mystical experience and ethical de­- mand. In this study the author explores how the Bhagavad Gita looks at the world as a reality of inter-connectedness with the mysti­- cal insights and ethical demands that it involves. The author concludes that the contribution of the Bhagavad Gita to the shap­- ing of our life and structuring of our relationships in & globalised world that is becoming increasingly conscious of the inter-de­- pendence of things and persons as follows: (i) the realisation that we live and grow in a divine ambience; (ii) the deep bond­ ing between humans and the things of nature within the divine process; (iii) the understanding of human creativity as partici­- pation in the divine work of yajna, of dharma (iv) the responsi­- bility to preserve the integrity of the environment and promote harmony in social life; (v) compassion as the characteristic of a person who lives in inner freedom.
