Acharya Prashant addresses a question regarding the different interpretations of the Bhagavad Gita in the East and the West. He explains that the Gita provides to each individual what they miss and need. The Indian figures cited, such as Shri Aurobindo Ghosh, Lokmanya Tilak, and Jawaharlal Nehru, came from a pre-independence India that, despite its size, might, and knowledge, was colonized, somnolent, lethargic, and inactive. Therefore, for them, the Gita was a call to action and rebellion. A revolutionary will read rebellion in the Gita, and someone trying to stir the country will see it as a call for action. Conversely, the Western figures mentioned, like Aldous Huxley and Henry David Thoreau, come from a civilization that already has enough action but lacks insight into the self. The West has never been ableto go into the self. Acharya Prashant states that India's one and final contribution to humanity is the concept of 'Atma' (the Self) and the equivalence of the reality one perceives outside and the reality of the perceiver itself. The West, lacking this insight, appreciates the Gita for its philosophy, which means love for the truth, and the inner truth it provides. The West has action but not insight, so it appreciates the Gita for its insight. The speaker likens the Gita to a megamart where everyone takes what they need and deserve. The West, he says, takes the fruit, while India gets lost in the spices—the stories, the occult, and the personality cults. Because Indians are very body-centric, they live in personalities and have started a cult of personality even around Shri Krishna, focusing on stories about him rather than the message from him. The West, however, is not interested in the trivia or stories about Krishna but wants the real thing, the message of Krishna. The Gita is a call for enlightened action. It is not just about surrender or knowledge alone, but about living one's true self. Ultimately, action must arise from deep realization. The Gita, he concludes, will always be a lighthouse for all those sailing towards liberation.
