Reading so many different views of Ultimate
Reality in the recent discussion on Indology reminds me of Arjuna. One view of
Arjuna's despair is that it arose from so many different and confliciting
philosophies that arose in the post-Vedic period. Placing this despair in the
context of the epic war was a convenient literary technique. The Gita then
offers a resolution through its Yoga of Works and Devotion.
