The Bhagavad Gita (as a comparative text)

The Bhagavad Gita is a sacred Hindu scripture that presents a spiritual dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield. It explores themes of duty, righteousness, and justice, emphasizing that one should perform their responsibilities without attachment to outcomes. The Gita integrates diverse philosophies, including devotion, knowledge, and self-discipline, offering a holistic approach to life's challenges. Compared to other philosophical texts—like Plato’s dialogues on ethics or the Bible’s spiritual teachings—the Gita uniquely blends practical action with deep spiritual insight, guiding individuals to live purposefully and attain inner peace through understanding their true nature.
