Acharya Prashant explains that there is no revolution possible without the Gita. When he says Gita, he does not mean a particular book or scripture, but a particular class of wisdom literature, which includes the Upanishads, the words of Ramana Maharshi, or the discourses of Jiddu Krishnamurti. The Gita is something that uplifts your consciousness from its natural slavery to liberation. Our default condition at birth and in life is one of slavery, which we do not realize. We are not born free; birth itself is slavery and bondage. When you are born, you are already a slave. Liberation has to be attained, and because that slavery is so fundamental to the body, a great revolution is needed, and that revolution can come only from the Gita. If there is no Gita in your education, you are condemning yourself to lifelong slavery. Even those who are not remembered particularly for their spiritual inclination, like Subhash Chandra Bose, founded their core on the Gita. When you think of armed revolutionaries like Rajguru, Sukhdev, and even Bhagat Singh, you think of them as firebrands with guns in their hands. What is not shown to you is that they also had the Gita in their hand. The speaker notes that while there is propaganda that Bhagat Singh was a die-hard atheist, a look into his life reveals he was a voracious reader with a great love for spiritual scriptures. It is impossible to be a great person in any field without being spiritual. Being spiritual is not about conforming to the images of spirituality, wearing particular colors, or following traditions and rituals. Spirituality is an opening up of the mind, an awakening of consciousness. Spirituality is the education of the self, knowing what your mind is like. It is close to psychology and incorporates elements of neuroscience, but it has one thing that sciences do not want to touch: the urge of the ego for liberation. Therefore, spirituality includes love of the highest order—the love of the ego for its liberated self. When you talk of Subhash Chandra Bose, his quest for independence was actually a manifestation of his inner quest for liberation. Externally, politically, what was independence from the British yoke was internally, spiritually, liberation from the default condition of natural slavery. Internally, he wanted to be liberated, and the result of that internal fire was his external action. The Gita is required to remind you that the body is perishable and will go anyway, so one should not be too bothered about it. It is just a resource to be used, not a master to be served. When it comes to the body, the Gita says to tolerate. And when it comes to the right action, the Gita says to fight. Your job is to fight, and in the process of fighting, bear what you have to. This is the mettle that a person like Bose is made of: tolerate and fight. You cannot say that if you are far removed from the Gita. If the Gita is not the core of your life, you will not be able to achieve this.
