Eknath Eswaran - pg.21
Mahabharata is a metaphor for the
perennial war between forces of light and forces of darkness
in every human heart!
Arjuna then is the Everyman-
asking the Lord himself, Sri Krishna,
the perennial questions about Life and death
Gita is not an external dialogue
but an internal one,
between ordinary Human Personality
and Krishna, Our deepest Self, which is Divine!
