The Bhagavad Gita, often referred to as the Gita, is a 700-verse Hindu scripture that is part of the epic Mahabharata, dated to the second half of the first millennium BCE and is typical of the Hindu synthesis. It is considered to be one of the holy scriptures for Hinduism. Having the form of a dialogue between the hero Arjuna and his charioteer, the avatar Krishna, in which a doctrine combining Brahmanical and other elements is evolved.
In the Gita, a Pandava brother Arjuna loses his will to fight and has a discussion with his charioteer Krishna , about duty, action, and renunciation. The Gita has three major themes: knowledge, action, and love.
Thus, Lord Krishna represent pure consciousness, infinite, formless, irreducible, fundamental source of all experience, synchronic correlation, infinite creativity, insight, intuition, imagination and being the tenth Avatar of Vishnu, second quality of the Divinity is the maintainer and supporter of creation. Aryuna represents the conditioned mind, the battlefield for good versus evil but actually in the background is something else beyond that is consciousness and beyond consciousness the ultimate Chitra Nakshatra which is a shiny bright jewel or pearl and represents brilliance and also the light that shines within us. So, evil is not an enemy but our collective shadow.
