The Bhagavad Gita - Rap

After completing my review of the Bhagavad Gita, one morning after meditation this form of rap came to me and so I will share it with thee:

Have you ever heard of the Bhagavad Gita ?
It will take you back to the Streeta
Have you ever heard of the Bhagavad Gita ?
It's about life. It's about strife in your life.

You see there were a group of brothers who were against their cousins
Not because they didn't love them, but because the cousins were withholding their rightful share of ownership of the kingdom
Doesn't it sound familiar about life?
When things are happening to us that doesn't seem right?

Now one of the brothers named Arjuna was lamenting about the fight that was to be fought
And Lord Krishna who was guiding his chariot said
Yo Arjuna! - Get up and do your duty! Stop boohooing and be a man
Do your duty and take a stand
Don't you know that you cannot kill the essence of who you truly are ?
Because that Inner Self, who is the nature of me cannot be destroyed, cut or burnt

Oh Arjuna! Stand up and be a man - The warrior prince that you are by and far
If you do not do this, know that you will be looked upon as a wimp and not worthy of respect.

Arjuna said - Oh Lord I cannot kill my teachers, relatives - It's a sin!
I will surely not want to win with their blood on my plate

Krishna said - Get a grip!
Don't give me no lip!
Listen! Listen! Listen to me!
Know you own Self and you will truly be free!
The body is like a piece of clothing, it is not permanent
There is no death - It's an illusion
So get in gear and clear your confusion!

Arjuna listened and surrendered to the Lord

The Bhagavad Gita is the song of the Lord giving us enlightenment to use as a sword to cut through the veil of illusion.

Yours truly,

Bometernally
