Wrapping Up the Teachings

This was an interesting book to read. The whole book was about Krishna teaching Arjuna about life and trying to reason him to fight in the war. There were few parts that were hard to understand but in general, it was okay. I didn't really like it in the beginning because nothing really happened in the story. Then, I noticed that the whole book was going to about the teachings of Krishna so I realized that this was, of course, a different kind of reading than the ones that I was used to. But, in its own different way, it was an interesting book because it made me think really deep at times. I sometimes even disagreed with some of the concepts explained by Krishna. And, what seemed a bit weird to me was how Krishna acted a bit arrogant sometimes because he was superior to every other being on the universe. He said that superior people are the ones that believe and praise him. This is weird to me since Krishna is a god and gods usually treat everyone equally and no one is supposedly superior than other beings. Anyways, I guess that's it. This is probably the last post that I'm going to write about the Bhagavad Gita so here's a little picture I drew that represents Krishna.
