 Chapter 14 – Has the Gita a Philosophy?
_As far as India is concerned, the synonym for philosophy is darshana……And so the very_ _term darshana has put Indian philosophy on the wrong track……[Page 131]_
There can be no original philosophy through blind faith and without critical thinking. Evasive, primitive philosophical opinions which are highly retrograde, regressive, immoral and unbelievably unethical make up the unholy religious classic. _The fact of the matter is, it is a poem, a collection of songs_ _–_ _not a work of theological_ _philosophy…..Page 133]_
Some Hindu authors such as Sarma define the Gita as a collection of songs, some as a drama (ishwarleela – god’s sport) and many others much more.
_The “high god”, as Kosambi rightly pointed out, repeatedly emphasizes the great virtue_ _of non-killing (ahimsa), yet the entire discourse is an incentive to war.”…….[Page 135]_
The contradictions abound therefore the Gita is a riddle hidden in an enigma. The problem is that the riddle has been solved – the Emperor has no clothes! _Electicism is not integration. Different ideas and concepts, borrowed from different_ _sources by an eclectic, dot generally merge into a integrated whole, but abide side by_ _side as separate entities and led a split personality, to a double life, and ultimately_ _to_ _downright hypocrisy…..[Pages 136-137]_
Some very astute men calling themselves Brahmins with the sole purpose to psychologically control the masses for eternity by usurping all power and silencing any dissent in perpetuity very ably created this unholy tale of other worldly proportions.
_“Why is a man to_ _obey and why is it difficult to disobey?” questioned Eric Fromm, the_ _German born American psychoanalyst……My obedience makes me part of the power I_ _worship, hence I feel strong…….[Page 137]_
Fromm has figured out the Gita riddle from a different angle and he is right! _The deluded despise Me clad in human body, not knowing my higher nature as Lord of_ _all existence (IX-11 Gita)…….[Page 139]_
Krishna did not write the Gita but, the umpteen world-class plagiarists who concocted the Gita made sure that the godly fabrication was drilled into anything which walked on two legs so that its authority is unquestioned forever.
