Raja Vidya The King Of Knowledge (English)
None of us can stop doing something, or stop planning doing something even for a moment. Indeed the drive to attain happiness is the very essence of us. But unless we know who we are, how can we act properly?
According to Bhagavad-Gita, the topmost knowledge (raja-vidya rajaguhyam) is Krishna consciousness because in Bhagavad-Gita we find that the symptom of one who is actually in knowledge is that he has surrendered unto Krishna. Some of the important teachings of the Gita are:
Law of Conservation of Soul : Soul has neither birth nor death at any time, but it gets new body at the time of death like a person buys new dress for the body when the old one is worn out.
Law of Birth and Death (cycle) : When a person is born, he is sure to die. Similarly, when a person dies, he is sure to born again.
Law of Mind : Controlled mind is the best friend and the worst enemy is uncontrolled mind.
Law of Karma : Whatever action a great man performs, common men follow. And whatever standards he sets by exemplary acts, all the world pursues.
